COLD IN THE.HEAD

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 it's appearance, causing a
multitude of small ulcers between these
folds. The pus from these ulcerg 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 tons,ls havs
become a corrupt mass of ulcers. 1t not
infrequently involves thewhole bronchial
passage to the lungs, causing consump-
ton and death. It will be seen that
nothing can radically cure Catarrh which
does not reach to the seat of the disease
between these folds of the Ohactory
organ, and cleanse and heal these ulcers.

mature that will accomplish this result.

goes up and puts her arms about her
with such simple dignity and tender
ness as have never Seen before. At
last Tess and her husband are left
alone, and begin to pace the floor to

NEW YORK WOMEN OBJECT
Quarrel in the Woman's Health Convention
Over a Name.
Result of the Philadelphia Convention
Is the Formation of m In
ternatfOnal League.

The Woman's Health Protective Associa-
tion closed its convention in Philadelphia
yesterday, after all-day secret session
The result of the days work was the
formation of an international Woman's
Health Protective League. Dissensions be-
tween the New York and local bodies arose
in this connection. The New York dele
gates had secured a charter emitting them
to the name of National Ladies' Health
Protective Association, and they wanted
the societies of other cities to unite with
them in sort of auxiliary capacity. The
delegates from Brooklyn liked This plan
but others vigorously protested.
DR. Rachel Skidelsky of the Philadelphia
Clean City League added fuel to the flame
of discussion by suggesting that New York
was acting from selfish motives This was
Indignantly denied by Mrs. Trautman of
New York.
A New York delegate gave warning that
If new organization was formed the name
of National Ladies' Health Protective As
ISOLATION should not be used That title
belonged distinctly to New York. If il was
usurped she threatened action would be be-
gun. The majority of the delegates were
now worked up to the point of determined
opposition to the New York National As
sociation. and by an overwhelming vote
they agreed to adopt the name of Inter
national Woman's Health Protective
League one as far different from the other
as possible.
The New Workers refused 20 enter the
international body and promptly left fer
their homes.
The international league starts out with
membership of fourteen societies in cities
scattered through several states. Its main
object is to formulate municipal health
measures and have them pat into general
operation. Encouraging letters from many
organizations in distant cities have been
received, which point TO a largely increased
membership for the league in the future.
Thus the membership of the Philadelphia
association. being about 400, its league
dues will amount to about $40 year.
When the league is fully perfected 1t will
have water, sanitary, contagious disease
and kindred committees to study and give
advice on those subjects. Another work
will be TO establish health protective as
sociations In cities where none now exist.
An evening session was held for the pur-
pose of eecting officers for the new league,
and the following were chosen: Honorary
president, Lady Aberdeen: president, Mrs.
Eta Osgood, Portland. Me-. vice president
Mrs. Louis d. Gallison. Orange, N. j.:
treasurer. Mrs. w. Rose. Cleveland sec
retary, Mrs. Olive Pond-Aimes, Philadel-
phia. The above officers. with four others
yet to be chosen, will constitute the execu-
tive committee. Presidents of state organ
iZations will be eX-officio members. This
committee will direct the active work of
the league until the next meeting, which
will probably be held in October.
