Chronic Catarrh

Catarrh is Inflammation OF the mucous
membrane, attended with increased secretion.
Thus catarrh may affect the head, throat,
stomach, bowels, or any part Of the body
where the mucous membrane is found. But
catarrh Of the head Is by far the most common,
coming on so gradually that often It's pres
ence Is not suspected till It has obtained a
firm hold ON its victim. II is caused by a
cold, or a succession OF colds, combined with
Impure Blood.
When firmly established the disease is eI-
ceedngly dlsagreeabe, causing flow from the
nose, dryness OF the throat, headache, loss Of
appetite, roaring and buzzing noises I'm the
ears, etc. In Hoods Sarsaparlla may be
found a prompt and permanent cure for
catarrh. II purihes and enrichcs the blood,
soothes and rebuds the diseased membrane,
and thus soon cures the disease. At the same
time il rcfrcshes and tones the whole system.
The remarkable success OF this peculiar
medicine entities 1t to your confidence. Give
Hoods Sarsaparilla a trial,

Notable Thanksgiving services were held
yesterday at Chicopee, Mass, the home Of
Gov, Robinson, The town hall was crowd
ed nearly all the local ministers were pres
ent and Gov, Robinson made long and in
teresting address. Sketching the history
of the Pilgrim fathers and their first
Thanksgiving service, he added; "Look at
the year 1921, Place side of it the year
1886. If, in the time of distress and dan
ger, these mems hearts were filled with fer
vent gratitude, why should we sit here and
not make the heavens ring with tributes of
delight, Could we to-day, dressed as we
are, living in such homes, even tired of
comforts and complaining because we
haven't more, we who consider it a right To
find fault with anything-could we feel it
possible to be thankful if we were the Pill
grims;" The Governor closed with an APP
peal for a better adherence to Christianity,
and advised his townsmen to give more at
tention to town meetings and let the Gov
ernor and President take care of them
selves
