Don't Take Cold.

This is apparently a very simple thing
to say and very good advice to give. No
one would take cold if he could help it.
The thing is to know what to do when
you have taken cold. When you feel
chilly it Is a sign that the work which the
skin has been doing in removing the waste
water and carbonic acid from the blood
has been suddenly checked and the little
pores are closed and the system has re-
ceived a shock. The work is then thrown
upon the kidneys and lungs. The blood
vessels in these organs become congested
and as those of the lungs and throat become
filled with blood a cough sets in to try and
sxpci them. Now to take an opiate is
simply to paralyze the muscles so that
you cannot cough, but that does not re-
lieve the lungs or the kidneys. REID'S
GERMAN COUGH AND KIDNEY
CURE checks the cough by stimulating
the lungs, melting the kidneys to action,
and enabling the skin to resume its for
mer condition. Ia this way the cough is
cured and cured permanently. Get this
great remedy of any dealer.

THEY arc experimenting with q new

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear. There Is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that Is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an tnfinmed condition of the mu-
cous lining OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets intlarned you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is
entirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out

! There's nothing hs
of Catarrh, when you use DR.. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy. With the poison
Gus, irritating snuffs and strong,
caustic solutions, q good deal is

for a time, but there's danger of
driving it to the lungs. They work
on false principles.
But DR.. Sage's Remedy cures it,
no matter how bad the case, or of
how long standing. Not only Ca
tarrh itself, but Catarrhal Headache,

catarrhal in its nature. The worst
cases yield to its mild, soothing,
cleansing and healing properties.
So will yours. You may not be-

Sage's Remedy do.
And to prove it they make you
this offer:
If they can't cure you, they'll

both composed of sheet copper, the float
being filled with cotton to render it practi-
cally unsuitable; one of these boats has
been under heavy fire without its buoy
ancy or efficiency being seriously affected
On the deck are two folding down stand
ards for steering purposes, which are so
arranged that, should the boat dive under
a log or wreckage, they fold down into re-
cesses on the deck, and on being liberated
regain their vertical position.
The lines Of the float are well designed
for high speed, having a fine bow and cut
water and the stern well cut away aft
The torpedo is suspended from the float by
means Of strong steel stays. The forward
stay is well cut away to enable the boat to
dive under spars or wreckage that it may
encounter This property of the boat has
been put to severe tests with eminently
satisfactory results. The torpedo consists
of four separate compartments which can
be taken asunder and reassembled in ff-
teen minutes; thus rendering the torpedo
very easy of transport in holds of ship or
elsewhere. Exchange.
