FcTECIAL TELEGRA TO THE DISPATCH
NEW HAVEN, Jan. sat is long time
since there was such excitement among COL
lege athletes as there is now. The sole
cause is the differences among the athletes
OF Harvard, Yale and Princeton. There is
TO some extent i mystery TO what the
outcome will he, but the general feeling is
that harmony will be restored.
Unfortunately the project of arranging
the dates for the series of baseball games
between Yale. Harvard and Princeton has
been abandoned. At the secret meeting
held between Yale and Princeton, in New
York, Princeton submitted the dates May
q and June Il for the games between that
college and Yale, the first game to be played
at New haven and the latter at Princeton.
Manager Franklin submitted these dates to
the Yale faculty, and yesterday afternoon
wrote tire Princeton management that those
dates would be accepted. Princeton de-
sired to arrange four games instead OF two,
but Hale declined.
Yale viii meet Harvard soon, though the
date and place are not settled Four games
will be arranged. as usual A rumor is
current about The Yale campus to the effect
that Yale and Princeton had pledged
themselves TO adopt q rule whereby any
special student shall not play on the nine
unless he has been in college year, and
that these colleges will refuse TO play Har
ward unless she agrees 10 this clause. II

Good dvire.

The practice of Drs. Copeland, Hall and
Byers has given them abundant opportunity
to study this disease in all it's phases, as it
comes under the head of one of their spe-
cialties. From it's first appearance in this
country they have been thoroughly familiar
with it from their practice, and have mas
tered its details and needs. They are ca pa
BILE not only of preventing it, but of curing
it when it has once fastened its clutches.
Nearly every case of la grippe leaves Il
systemic catarrhal condition, which, unless
it is thoroughly and completely cured,
renders the patient very liable to chronic
bronchitis, which invariably leads to con-
sumption. The frequency with which dread
pneumonia follows attack of Ia grippe,
and either terminates fatally or perma-
nently weakens the constitution OF the vic
tin, has created general alarm, and la grippe
is now looked upon as Il very serious mat
ter. Among other complications which may
follow this disease may be mentioned in
famation OF the middle ear Causing
catarrhal deainess), bronchial pneumonia
aud weakened condition of the eyes.
II is q matter of qualification To Drs. Cope
land, Hall and Byers that their patients
have largely resisted the attacks of this dis
ease. This is due, no doubt, TO the superior
condition of the system, brought about by
following IL a systematic and rational course
of treatment. Persons attacked by la
grippe, or those suffering from a catarrhal
condition should place themselves at once
in Charge of u thorough specialist.

WHAT CATaRRH Is.
A Letter From a Patient Freely and Full
ThrnnoI, no Pros.

A Letter From a Patient Freely and Fully
Answ-red Through the Press.
Among the many letters received by Drs
Copeland, Hall and Byers during the past
few days we take one 1nquiring what catarrh
is and what portions of the body it affects
Many people labor under the mistaken
idea tkat catarrh means simply discharge
from the nostrils, with hawking and spit
ting of mucus but tothe observing physician
who makes speciality of the disease the
wore, catarrh means more. Experience has
taught him that cutarrh is by no means con-
fined to the head alone, but that the entire
system is frequently affected it, Thus we
have:
Catarrh OF the nose, causing frontal head
acheS( more commonly known as neuralgia),
a sense OF dullness or drow siness, dizziness,
confusion of thoughts. etc.
Catarrh of the throat, bronchial tubes and
lungs, causing sore throat, cough hoarse-
ness or entire loss of voice, bronchitis,
asthma, pneumonia, etc.
Cntarrh of the stomach (nnore commonly
called dysDepSia) J. Ca using ind stion, heart
burn, water bInsh, nausea, fetid breath,
palpitation or fluttcring of the heart, short
ness of breath, etc.
lararrh of tile bladder. with its long list of
symptoms, causing diabetes, Bright's Dis
ease, etc.
CatarrIi of the bowels causing alternate
diarrhaa. and constipation, piles, etc. In
tact catarrh affects more or less all the
muciis surfaces of the entire body. c. using
at times severe local or neuralgia or rhelI-
matte pains So when VIC asked Gas we
often are by patients) whether we treat
other diseases as well as catarriI, We answer
Yes.
We Jrest All Chronic Diseases
because experience has taught us that
nearly every chronic disease in this climate
is due to II general catarrhal condition of
the system, and in treating this condition
cure tI;c disease.
Oar method OF treatment is peculiarly
adapted to this class of ailnent of the en-
tire IEucus tract of the body; it is both
local and internal: and each years expert
eEce and successful treatment only confirms
our claim that this is the only true and III.
tioBsl mode of treatment. In this are
borne out bY Eundreds-nay. thousands of
testimonials from grateful patients.
