DANGER IN DISGUISE.
The Serious Troubles That May Come
Upon People at This Time OF Year.

On, It's only q cold
Such a remark as this is often heard at
this time OF the year, when the weather Is
chilly. The people who make such re-
mark seem to forget that a cold is really
dangerous condition of the system, weak
spot, a disease. A cold may lead 10
cough, and then to pneumonia, or 1t may
SOW the seeds of consumption. For this
reason it is dangerous to neglect a cold. 1t
Is better TO stamp it out at once. For
tunately there is one means of doing this
that is always safe and reliable What it
is and what it will do can be seen from the
following:
Mr.. NJ. o. Conner. 271 Scott St, Brook
lyn, says: Some time ago | was stricken
down with congestion of the lungs. and,
though having the best medical attend
ance, l did not improve. ! had a cough
that seemed to contract my chest to half
its natural size. | was in constant pain,
and had no rest day or night. At last l
was advised to try Duffy's pure malt whis-
key. and IL effected a speedy cure. The
lung trouble and cough entirely disap-
peared, my appetite was regained and
breathing became as natural as ever.
now feel like a new man all over
No ordinary whiskey could have pro-
duced these unusual results. As a means
of building up the system and restoring
the health, Duffys pure malt has always
been uneQualled. II ii were kept in every
household. and used in all cases of emer-
gency. a vast amount of sickness and SUI
fering could be entirely prevented.

Wheeling patrons of the theatre do
not extend patronage to any entertain
ment which they do not know to be
meritorious. This fact, together with
the absence of so many persons from

Harry Montague is starring, and there

ADVERTISING.
It Is Ono OF tho Most Ancient of All the
Civilized Arts.

Civilized Arts.
It is generally believed, by the simple
and unlearned, that the art of advertis-
Ing is Of comparatively modern inven-
ton, but very slight study Of the sub
jeot will be sufficient to convince the in
quirer that it is, in point of fact, one of
the most ancient Of all the civilized arts.
Indeed, the first advertisement was prob
ably ooeval with the first man who had
something to dispose Of or with the
first woman who wanted something she
had not got. It seems not impossible
that the serpent tempted Eve to partake
of the apple by means Of puff para
graph" setting forth the merits of the
fruit as complexion beautifier. Be that
as it may, the uses Of advertisement
were known at very early date to the
1sraelites, who were accustomed to
placard the streets Of their cities with
the utterances of kings and prophets.
The ancient Greeks, too, were much
given to advertisement, chiefly through
the medium Of the town crier, who,
however, was not permitted to offend
the ears of the citizens with his proola-
nations unless he were accompanied by
musician to give him the correct pitch.
The fact that property had been stolen
or damaged was made known by means
of curses, inscribed upon sheets Of lead,
which were affixed to the statues of in
fernal deities in the temple, the yenge-
ance of the gods being thus invoked
upon the persons who had stolen or in
jured the advertisers goods. A rider
was usually added, to the effect that
should the property be returned, or rec
ompense be paid, the owner would in
tercede with tho gods for remission of
the punishment.
The Romans also made use Of the
town crier to proclaim laws, victories.
