Cause and Effect.

Success can only be assured by going back
to tbs cause in the treatment of disease.
Many Doctors can see reflects only, such
as are visible to the eye, and treat the sym
ptoms, but while the cause exists a cure is
impossible and herein lies the secret of so
many failures. The skilled Specialist devotes
all his study to a few diseases and become as
familiar with them as you do with the faces
of your family. When he sees Skin Dis
ease, he knows just where the cause lies, and
just what to do.
If you have exposed yourself to disease ana
there appears a uspIcious sore, to his ex-
perienced eye, it becomes plain whether it ia a
poison in the blood or local trouble.

diseases and possesses skin and methods OF

Remedies Cure Catarrh
AND ALL THROAT AND
LUNG DISEASES.
Catarrh Leads to Indigestion, Insomnia,
Nervous Disorders, Consumption and
Many Other Diseases -MunyOn
Positively Cures by His New
Method.

Catarrh, itself an unpleasant dis
ease, is an insidious foe and leads
to other very serious diseases. II
not cured it will extend to the
stomach and affect the digestive
organs, causing dyspepsia, which
makes life a burden. Weakness,
| debility, insomnia and even in
sanity have followed. Catarrh neg
lected also reaches the lungs and
ends in consumption and death.
Discharges from the nose and
throat, bad breath, stuffed up nos
trils and head, pressure and sharp
pains in the head, dizziness, sneez-
ing, nose bleed, inflamed watery
eyes, liability to take cold, stupid
heavy feeling in the head, nausea,
deafness and hawking and splitting
of mucus, are some of the symp-
toms of catarrh.
Are you a sufferer with catarrh :?
Have you taken all sorts of drugs
and patent nostrums? Are you tired
of paying big doctor bills without
being cured Are you willing to
spend so cents for cure that per-
manently cures catarrh by remov-
ing the cause of the disease ? If so,
ask your druggist for a 25-cent
bottle of Munyon's Catarrh Cure
and a 25-cent bottle of Catrrah
Tablets. The Catarrh Cure will
eradicate the disease from
the system, and the Tablets
will cleanse and heal the
afflicted parts and restore them to
a natural and healthful condition.
A SPECIFIC FOR EACH DISEASE.
Professor Munyon puts up sep
arate remedy for every disease.
His rheumatism Cure seldom fails
to relieve rheumatism in from one
to three hours and cures in few
days. His Dyspepsia Cure speedi-
ly cures all forms of stomach
trouble. His Cold Cure never fails
to cure the most severe cold in a
few hours. The Munyon Remedies
are sold at all druggists, mostly at
% cents bottle.

this evil but the creation Of q sentiment

come rather generally to be interpreted
as willingness to fight and die for

answers very well for definition OF
patriotism during times Of war. but u
generally deficient In that 1t allows no
room for patriotism In times of peace.
We should consider that very cheap
specimen Of conjugal fidelity which
put man upon caring for his wife and
deyotlng himself to her necessities only
on occasions when she was threatened
BY rufiians. A husbands love has its
sphere OF service at all times and In all
situations. So has patriotism. Shooting
our national enemies Is only small

our country needs most Is men who
will love her and--not die for her. but
live for her while there Is no shooting
