AbOnliinable
Catapph.

It is not reasonable to expect to be
cured of any disease, no matter how
constant and persevering the treat
ment, when that treatment is alto
gether nisdirected, and can not possi-
bly, reach the trouble.
This explains why those afflicted
with catarrh meet with SO much dis
enlargement, Though they faithfully
take the usual treatment consisting of
sprays, washes, etc., and pass through
the summer without much discomfort,
as soon as cold weather returns, they
find themselves more firmly in the grip
of the disease than ever. Such results
could hardly be expected if the proper
treatment had been given.
Any one who has had experience
with catarrh will readily admit that it
is one of the most obstinate of diseases;
it is easy to see, therefore, that it is
deep-seated, and that no remedy which
merely reaches the surface can have
the slightest effect upon it. The only
known cure for catarrh is 4 real blood
remedy, opc which gets at the seat of
the disease-the cause of the trouble
and forces it from the system. Such
remedy is S. S. S. (Swift's Specific). =

nte2 The plump man or woman is
seldom ill-natured. They beam kind

of their moonlike faces. But your

is disturbed at trides, he easily
loses his temper, and acquires only
by stern selfrest raint the serenity

be replied that our welI-favored

additionally even-tempered, and
that we are reversing cause and

soul On the contrary, it IS main
tanned that an easy-going DISPOSE
tion helps its possessor to assimilate
nutrition. We always believed this
until we observed that Ger tain

comes stouter and stouter, to belle al
