There was mighty cheering when she swept before the vast throng, and the king smiled and bowed when he saw that Griselda were about her neck the costly jewels he had sent her. But if the applause was mighty when she ap- peared, what was it when she nished her marvelous song and bowed, herself from the stage! Thrice she -was com- pelled to repeat the song, and a score of times was recalled to receive the homage of the delighted throng.

Out of 2,000 patients treated during ; the past six months, f-uliy ninety per cent. i have been cured of this stubborn malady. This is none the less startling when it is rememe bered that not five per cent. of patients pre- senting themselves to the regular practitioner are beneted, while the patent medicines and other advertised cures never record a cure at all. "Starting with the claim now generally be- lieved by the most scientic men that the disease is due-tothe presence of living para- sites in - thetissue, Mr. Dixon at once adapted his cure to their exterm nation-this accom- plished. he claims the Catarrh is practically cured.and the ermanency is unquestioned,as cures etfected y him four years ago are cures `still. No one else has ever attempted to cure Catarrh in this manner, and no other treat- ment has ever cured Catarrh. The apDlica- tion of theremedy is simple, and can be done at home. and the present season of the year at the most favourable for a speedy and perma- nentcure,the inaiority of cases being cured in one treatment. Sufferers should correspond with Messrs. A. H. DIXON &SON, 305 King y street west, Toronto, Canada, and enclose I ; stamp for their treatise on Catarrh.--.Mon- ` "'4 (U: 43'/(Ir. IVOI`.
