Ca atarrhal
POI. !. S ON

Wei De Meyers Treatise ON Catarrh,
explains the following important facts:
1. That Catarrhal Colds become poi
sonous infection. AT first local, and finally
constitutional.
.. That, being Constitutional. the infection is
beyond the reach of mere local remedies
s. That impurities in the nostrils, are
necessarily swallowed into the stomach and
inhaled into the lungs, thus poisoning the
Digestive, Respiratory and Genito-urinary organs
4. That Catarrhal virus follows the mu-
cous membrane and causes Deafness. Dyspepsia,
Chronic Diarrhea, Bronchitis, Leacorrh@a
and Consumption.
s. That Smokes, Douches, Inhalations, and
Insoluble 1uffs cannot possibly remove in
fecdous infammations from the organs named
6. That an antidote Tor Catarrh must pos
sess an inocu1ative affinity for, and the quality
of being absorbed BY, the pnrulent mucous
wherever located.
Based upon these plain theories, DR..
Wei De Meyers Catarrh Cure has proved
infallible. 1t not only reIeaves, 1t cures

"Last Saturday Mr.. James
Cooper, of the 5th Ward, met
with sad accident. In attempt

caught in the rope in some way
and thrown some fifteen or
twenty feet and in the fall had
his right collar bone broken and
some of his ribs fractured. Dr..
Baird, of our town, was sent for
Immediately, who set Alright the
broken bones, and had him sent
