Cdtaprh to
Consumption

Catarrh invariably leads to consump-
tion. Growing worse and worse each
winter, those who rely upon the usual
treatment of sprays, washes and inhal-
ing mixtures find that 1t Is impossible
to check the disease with these local
applications which only reach the sur
face. The offensive discharge increases
all the while, and gets deeper until It Is
only question of a short time when
the lungs are affected.
The Importance OF the proper treat
rnent can therefore be readily appre-
oiated. But no good whatever can be
expected from local applications, as
such treatment never did cure Catarrh,
and never will. Being a blood disease
OF the most obstinate nature, Swiit's
Specific (S.S.S.) 10 the only remedy
which can have the slightest effect upon
Catarrh It Is the only blood remedy
that goes down to the bottom OF all stub
born diseases which other remedies
cannot reach.

pavement when the ladder snapped in
twain and the two workmen were precipi-
tated to the unyielding flooring.
Stormon appeared to be the more in
iured one of the two when picked up by
the crowd that gathered about the scene of
the accident. Both legs were broken and
his skull was fractured. Maher, his COM
panion, had suffered fracture of the left
leg, but his general appearance indicated
that internal injuries had been sustained.
The City Receiving Hospital am bulance
was called into requisition and the two
patients were tenderly cared for.
Late III the afternoon Maher died from
the effects OF his injuries and Stormon
was very low.
The two painters had taken private
contract to paint a shanty recently aban-
doned by Chinaman who was conduct
ing laundry on the premises.
This is the second accident OF the kind
that has happened within the past two
weeks. At the former one, on Stevenson
street, near First, where two painters were
at work on building occupied as a
Chinese shoeshop, the ladder on which
the workmen stood broke in two and pre-
cipitated them to the pavement. Both
died from the effects of their injuries.
