COLD IN THEHEAD

Is acute Inflammation and swelling of the
Olfactory organ which contains the
Nerves Of Smell. This organ is 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, 1t Is called
CATARRH. The folds become swollen
into a solid mass, so the air In breathing
cannot circulate between them I; hence
the loss Of smell. TheC Catarrhal microbe
soon makes its appearance, causing
multitude of small ulcers between these
folds. The pus from these ulcers 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 tonslls have
become a corrupt mass of ulcers. Itnot
infrequently involves the whole bronchial
passage to the lungs, causing consump-
ton and death. 1t will be seen 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.
BRAZILIAN BALM Is th only known remedy
mature that viii accomp plish this result.
1t will heal any old sore. Snuff q solu-
ton of the Balm and warm water, as

DecOrah Institute Commencement.

The graduating exercises at the De-
corah Institute last Friday was truly a
red letter day for this widely known in
stitution of learning. The decorations
of the audience room We're tasteful
The music was of an unusually high
grade. The class of '97 showed culture
seldom, if ever, found in school below
the rank of an university. From start
to finish, without the least break, the
splendid audience was captured, as was
attested by its frequent and hearty ap'
plause. Before presenting the hediplomas,
Prof. Breckenridge stated what
branches had been pursued and the
number of terms devoted to each. II
is evident that Decorah Institute is not
narrow guage school. After the ex.
ercises Mrs. Breckenridge rendered the
class, the school and its friends recep.
ton at her residence.
