Polly was one of the naturally good children, although she had occasionally hev little bursts of temper, which made her all the more lovable when she got over them. She was always happy, from the fact that she had a power of amusing herself and entertaining every- body else at the sumo time, so that she wus kept from the fretfulness of not knowing what to do with herself. Her expericnees from the time was run- ning about the nursery until she was big cnough to try to write prize stovies, are very entertainingly told.

The frontispiece this month is a por- trait of Washington by Wright, of Philadelphia, made in 1784, and now for the first time engraved.

Some time since 1 noticed the ndvertise- monts of Drs, McCoy and_Henry, and told my wife she had better take Frankie' over and sce them. She took him to their office in the Ramge Block and had him placed on treatment about one month ago, and’ to-day he 1s almost as well asever, He hasno more pains in his head, and sloeps all night. “He has no more trickling in the back of Lis throat, and goes to sehwol every FRANKIE BROWN. “How old is Franklie, now?" inquired the seribe, noticing the bright and fntelligent little boy who was with bis father. “He wis twelve years old yestorday,"” a Mr, Brown, who resides at No. 111§ & avenne, Council Blufts, Towa, who Will eheerfully corroborate tlie above to anyone doubting it. The following statement regarding Drs. Mc- Coy and Henry {8 mide upon good authority: “Since these eminent physicians have been in the west, they have treated and eured over six thous- and cases of catarrh_and_chronio throat and lung troubles, and of these cases 40 per cent had been declared and pronounced incurabie.” CATARRH DESCRIBED. The Symptoms Atrending that Disease ‘Which Leads to Consumption, When catarrh has existed in the head and the upper part of thie thront for any length of time wtho patient living in w district whero people are subject to catarrhal affection—and the dis- ease has been left uncured, the catarrh invari- ably, sometimes slowly, extends down the wind. pipe'and into the bronchinl tubes, which tubes convey the air into the different parts of the lungs. ‘Mo tubes become affected from the swelling and the mucous arising from catarrh, and, in some Instances, become plugged up, 8o that the wir cannot get i as freely us ¢ should. Shortness of breath follows, and the patient ‘breathes with labor and difficulty. Tn either case there is a sound of crackHn, and whoezing {nside the chest. ALtIIS stage o the diseaso the brenthing is usually more rapid than when in health. The patient has also hot dashes over his body. ‘The pain which accompantes this condition is of u dull chiaracter, felt in the chest, behind the breast bone or under the shoulder ' blade. The ain may come and go—lasta few days and ihen be absent for several others, The cough that occurs in the first stages of bronchial ca- tarrh 18 _dry, comes on at intervals, hacking in character, and s nsually most troublesome in the morning on rising, or going to bed at night, and it may be in the first evidence of the disease extending into the lungs, Sometimes there are fits of conghing induced Dy the tough mucus so violent a3 to cause vom- iting. Later on the mucus that is ratsed is found to contatn small particles of yellow mat- ter, which indicates that the small tubes in the lungs are now affected. With this there are of- ten streaks of blood mixed with the mucus. In somo cases the patient becomes very pale, has fever, and expectorates before any cough ap- ars, P Some cases small masses of cheosy sub- stance are spit up,which, when pressed between the fingers, emit & bad odor. In other cases par- ticlewof o Bard, clialky pature are spitup. Tho raising of cheesy or chulky lumps indicates se- rious mischief at work in tho lungs. In some cases caturrh will extend into the lungs in a few weeks; in other cases it may be months, and even years, before the diseaso at- tacks the lungs sufficiently to cause serious in- terference with the general health. When the Qisense hus developed to such & point the pa. tient Is said to have catarrhal consumption, With bronchial catarrh there Is more or less fover which differs with the different parts of the day—slight in the morning, higher ih the afternoon aud evewing. SNEEZING CATARRH. What It Means, How It Acts, and What It Is, Y¥ou sneezs when you getup fn the morning you try to sneeze your nose oft every time you are exposed to the least draf tof air, You have a tullness over the front of the forehead, and lug in each nos- You blow your rs crack, but it_don't do’any good, result i that you succeed in etting up & very red nose, and you o irritate the lin{ng membrane of that organ that you are unable to breathe through It at all. This 15 a cor- rect and not overdrawn picture of an_acute at- tack of catarrh, or “Sucesing Catarrh,” us it 1s called. Now, what does this conditlon indicate? First cold that causes mucus to be poured out b the glands in the n then those diseaso glands are attackod by swarms of little gerins —the catarrh germ—that float in the air in a lo- cality where the discase 15 prevalent. These an- tmalculne, in their efforts to find a lodgment, irritate the sensitive membrane lining of the nose and nature undertakes to rid herself of them by producing a it of sneezing. ‘When the nose becomes filled with thickened diseased mucus the natural channels for the in- troduction of alr into the lungs is interfered with, and the person so affected must breathe through the mouth, and by such means the throat becomes parched and dry, snoring is produced, and the eatarrhal disease gains ready aaccess to the throat fud lungs.
