are examined carefully il viii be found
that they are persons whose bodily vigor
is above the average and that their par

their lives in the country 1t is with
Catarrh, as with every other disease. the
weak children are the first 90 show It's

weak men, while the strong children and
the healthy women and the robust men
are not SO apt to suffer from it. This
is the law Of nature. easily understood.
The strong are able to resist The weak
are unable 60 resist disease. The strong.
TO be sure, have inflamed places made
along their breathing apparatus by colds.
but In these cases these sore spots are
healed by Nature and do not develop into
Catarrh, while in the weaker individual
they do not heal and they are allowed 70
run into Catarrh.
Those persons who suffer from scTOfuls
in any of its forms are subject TO attacks
Of CataTrh and so common are scr0fuIOus
persons who suffer from Catarrh that e
great many people look upon Catarrh and
scrofula as being different manif estations
OF the same disease.
Those persons who have any faint or

Catarrh. whether inherited or acquired are

various forms OF CatarTh.
Nearly all old people in this climate
suffer from some form Of Catarrh While
they might have been able to resist the
disease when they were young. their re-
dUced vitality as they grow older allows
the disease to gain fOOthOld
A typical Uatarrh sufferer takes cold
very easily on exposure The cold is not
cured before another is taken. and the
history of the average CatarTh sufferer
Is long periods during the fall and winter
of repeated colds. followed by severe
Catarrhal symptoms exte nding into the
spring and only relieved during the
summer. Catarrh does not show itself
in the same form in all those who are
subject TO the disease. What will cause
