What a Mistakel

One half of all the people in this
country have been or are now afflicted
with catarrh or bronchitis. No doubt
many of them have tried every blood pu-
rifier they have seen, with the erroneous
idea that cataTrh is a constitutional dis
ease of the blood. Why, a greater mis-
take was never madel Stop for q mo-
ment, and ask any reputable physician
what common catarrh is, or bronchitis
(Which is catarrh in the bronchial
tubes) and what causes it, and the an
swer can be only this: sit is an irrita
ton or Inflammation of the mucous menu
brane of the nose and throat, caused by
neglected colds, damp, piercing, irrita-
bic winds, foreign matter in the air,
which is poisonous to some persons
and not to others; just as the bites of
certain insects is poisoned torture to
some and has no unpleasant effects up
on Others" The reason for this is found
in the different structure of the outer
skin and its counterpart which lines all
the inner organs of our bodies. Some
people have chapped hands and chill
blainS and others are never so afflicted
because of the peculiar structure of the
skin of different individuals. IL is not

to aliay the Inflammation, cleanse the
surface, heal the sores, and your catarrh
will disappear like magic; we do not say

severe cold and in three months catch
another equally as bad; SO with catarrh
