COLD IN THEHEAD

Is acute inflammation and swelling Of the
Olfactory organ which contains the
Nerves of Smell. This organ is long
ribbon-like membrane and hangs from
the roof of the Nasal passage in folds, as
seen in Fig. 8. When this condition be-
comes chronic, or permanent, it is called
CATARRH. The folds become swollen
into solid mass, so the air in breathing
cannot circulate between them hence
the loss of smell. The Catarrhal microbe
soon makes its appearance, causing a
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 tonsIls have
become corrupt mass of ulcers. 1t not
infrequently involves the whole bronchial
passage to the lungs, causing consump-
tion 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.

immature that will accomplish this result.

Chicago, Dee. A.-Fire broke out soon
after o'clock yesterday afternoon In
the basement Of the five story building
at 104 Madison street, the first floor
and basement of which were occupied
by the Tosetti Cafe and Restaurant
company and the second floor by the
billiard parlors of Frank Mussey. The
blaze was insignificant at first, and a
crowd of people gathered on the side
walk in front of the building to watch
the work of the firemen. About a
dozen policemen were busly engaged
in pushing back the throng when a
terrific explosion took place. The build
irg was badly wrecked, the windows,
window sratings, sidewalk lights and
manhole covers were hurled into the
air and fell among the crowd. Dozens
of people were thrown from their feet
and % were injured. Only one Of them
was seriously hurt. He Is Captain
Thomas O'Connor, who was burned
about the head, face and body and may
die.
The fire spread through the build
ing with great rapidity after the ex-
ploslon, and within ten minutes 1t was
blazing fiercely. Call after call for
additional engines was sent by Chief
Swenie, but the fire could only be reach
ed in the front and rear. and was
difficult of access. The severe weather
caused much Of the water to freeze,
and within an hour the building re-
sembed an iceberg with furnace in
