She showed great reasoning power In her review of the story. Mrs.

Until the advanced stage is reached consumption is curable.

Catarrh Is responsible, we bellove, for many rases of consumption. It is about catarrh we want to talk to you to-day, incidentally consumption, Blnce the two are so closely allied.

Possibly the claim may be sot up that Conboy Vfinil Lagan engaged In a struggle before the shot that killed Lagan was fired.
