EVIL FOREBODINGS.
Calmly Watching a Slow Fire.
What An Eminent Author Says Of It's Insidi-
Gus Growth.

"Catarrh steals. in an insidious way, its
marches on it's victims" says an eminent
authority. However simple IN character
and short in duration the first attacks may
be. they dispose the mucous membrane TO
fresh attacks: each attack involves a larger
extent of surface than It's predecessor: when
once the complaint has reached the finer
ramitications of the bronchi. il lurks there
~still-even after the larger Tubes have been
restored TO temporary health-every fresh
attack of catarrh in the larger passages
supplying the lurking enemy with REIN
forcements. and enabling it to advance
from its Businesses and TO encroach further
and further npon the respiratory tract. I'M

The symptoms of catarrh can hardly he
mistaken. In many cases the patients
have pains about the chest and sides. and
sometimes in the hack. They feel dull and
sleepy; the month h 3 q bad taste. espe-
clally In the morning. A sort of sticky
slime collects about the teeth. The appe-

are sunken. the hands and feet become cold
and clammy.

How many there are who are watching
daily the progress of a slight catarrh. ard
can only excuse their negli gence by saving
Well. 1t is not bad yet: when il bothers
me more ] will have il cured.r That very
excuse has been the dearh-trap for thou
sands who might have checked pulmonary
consumption by merely taking the advant-
age of a few months when the signal Of dis
tress was first hOisted. These conditions
are not mere passing symptoms. Init they
are conditions that come TO stay unless
thoroughly eradicated by faithful and dill
gent treatment. No one can afford To sit
idly by and see and know that such condi-
tlons are existing and progressing without
an effort TO check them. for tney are only
the forerunners of other symptoms that
will surely prove fatal sooner OF later. We
have already published a list of several
hundred persons who nave and are still
willing to testify TO the efficiency of tho
Blair Treatment in checking and curing
inst such conditions, and there are hum
drcds of Others who are just as willing TO
add their testimony. Convince yourself
