Cold Weather
Brings Catarrh.

Though the disagreeable effects of Ca.
tarrh are felt all the year round, cold and
disagreeable weather aggravates the
disease and it is during the winter sea-
son that its severest form is felt. Each
succeeding year seems to intensity the
disease, so that it gradually fastens its
hold upon the sufferer with grasp that
becomes frmer each season.
Catarrh often appears as only cold at
first, and is hardly noticed. But gradu-
ally the cold returns, and it is more
difficult to cure, and stays longer than for
merly. These symptoms cannot be mis-
taken; they mark the first appearance of a
disease that will develop in severity and
stubbornness, and which 1t is impossible
tocure with the 1ocaltreatment of sprays,
washes, and similar applications. Being
disease of the blood, only blood
remedy can have the slightest effect
upon it. S.S.S. (Swift's Specifc) is the
only cure for Catarrh, because it is the
only blood remedy which goes to the
seat of all obstinate and deep-seated
cases, and forces out the disease.

chant of Spartanburg, S. c., writes:

It was from the owners of the mine,
