Mac- Kay, M.P.P., was in his .early twen- ties when he left Goderich, but he has scores • of friends and school chums here who were elated to hear of his success. He always had a flair for politics, even •as a youth. !His an- cestors are of the Scotch-Pres'by.ter- ian-,Liberal type for generations back and certainly no one is more .proud of his success than is his father, Cap- tain Dan, a Grit of the old school.

Scientists for a long time past have recognized that catarrh is a constitutional disease and necessarily requires constitution- al treatment. . Sprays, inhalers and nose douches are liable to irritate the delicate air passages and force the disease into the' meddle ear which frequently means total deafness, or else the dis- ease may be driven down the air pas- sages towards the lungs which is equally as dangerous. The following formula which is used extensively is a constitutional treatment and should prove especially efficacious to suf- ferers.
