COLD IN THEHEAD

Is acute inflammation and swelling of the
0lfactory organ which contains tbs
Nerves Of Smell. This organ In a long
ribbon-like membrane and hangs from
the roof of the Nasal passage In folds, as
seen In Fig. 3. When this condition be-
comes chronic, or permanent, it is called
CATARRH. The folds become swollen
into a solid mass, SO the air in breathing
cannot circulate between them hence
the loss of smell. TheCatarrhal microbe
soon makes its appearance, causing
multitude of small ulcers between these
folds. The pus from these uloerc is very
poisonous and soon impregnates the
whole mucous surface of the nose, hsad
and throat with the disease. Medical
works show cases where the tonsIls have
become q corrupt mass of ulcers. 1t not
infrequently involves the whole bronchial
passage TO the lungs, causing consump-
ton and death. It will be eeen that
nothing can radically cure Catarrh which
does not reach TO the seat of the disease
between these folds of the Olfactory
organ, and cleanse and heal these ulcers.

The Brooklyns seriously menaced Wash
ington's hold on sixth place yesterday at
Eastern Park, Brooklyn, when they punched
their hits and won in the ninth inning by
5 to 4 a game that should have been the
Senator'S.
The game was q marked improvement

at Eastern Park between the Giants and
the Grooms during the past few days, and
was deserving of the applause Of more
than 1900 persons, the size of the crowd
In the grand stand Kennedy started in to
do the pitching for the trolley dodgers"
ard was doing great work, when, in the
third inning, stitch in his side made
him bend almost double and he had to re-
tire. Fisher took his place. The latter
started off in the air, but in the fifth in
ming he eased up and eventually proved
superior to Mercer, who was twirling for
Washington.
The Senators led until the last half of
the seventh inning, when errors by Wrig-
ley and De Montreville, and a misjudged fly
by Gettman, and two hits enabled Brooklyn
to tie the game at the four point.
Griffin opened the ninth with a hit, but
was thrown out by Setback. Shindle and
Anderson hit safely, and Lachance struck
out for the third time; Shoch raised fly
over Browns head. which the latter could
not reach, and Shindle came in with the
winning run.

be restrained from interfering with her
