A Revelation Of Canada.
After 40 years' service in the cause
of good farming, the Farmer's Advo-
cate and Home Magazine, of London,
Ont., has, in its Christmas Number
for 1900, distanced all previous re-
cords, both in the general interest and
value of the articles and the richness
and variety of its illustrative features,
particularly the tricolor process work.
Most imposing of the latter is the
double -page panoramic view of the
Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph,
which every farmer's son will certain-
ly aspire to attend after the faithful
account given of what is done at that
great institution. There are eight
colored pages in the number, besides
over eighty wash drawings and photo
engravings, including six full-page
and many half -page pictures. The
best Artists of Canada have contribut-
ed of their choicest works to its pages.
The articles on agriculture and other
subjects are a brilliant revelation of
Canada, and Great Britain as well.
When you have seen and read this
numberY enjoyed will have enjo ed one of
the season's best treats.
Some idea of the size of this special
issue may be had from the fact that
each paper weighs a pound net.

ing, and
that these institutions ought

e The Danger Lies.
s
.
In many catarrh snuffs, cocaine is
the largely used ingredient ; in con-
sequence the drug habit may be form-
ed. To be really cured of catarrh, to
do so quickly, safely and pleasantly,
doctors say Catarrhozone is superior
to any other remedy. It heals sore
places, stops discharge, prevents
hawking, spitting and bad breath -
does this by first destroying the cause
of the disease. Catarrhozone is no
experiment, it is a tried and proven
cure that is guaranteed for bronchial,
throat, nose and lung catarrh. Two
sizes, 25c and $1 at all dealers.
