How many lives are ruined, how many

trouble results from foolish or willful
neglect of common colds. While Peru
ma, properly used will cure almost every
case of chronic catarrh. chronic bronchi-

Yet, as preventive of these diseases it is
of still greater value. I do not hesitate to

recover, and the cold leave no trace Of

Every case of catarrh is the result of
a neglected cold. In whatever organ
the cold settles of the body, there the

Chronic catarrh is so undoubtedly and
directly the result of an ordinary cold that
II would be quite correct to call Chronic
catarrh a settled Cor Old cold At least
ore-half of the inhabitants north of the
40th degree of latitude are more or less
afflicted with catarrh in some form. To
say that this vast multitude of people are
miserable is to give only a mild statement
o. the case. Nearly every disease TO
which the human family is subject Is
caused by catarrh. Very few people, In

singular condition concerning them is

Columbus first set his foot upon the
fruitful ground that we now till there

Cherokee himself, and says that when

North Carolina, Georgia and Iennes-

always wore the look of one burdened

TO RECLAIM THE LAND.
DilSes Are Proposed in a Plan to
Render Submerged California
Estates Profitable

Application of the Dutch method of
diking has resulted in the reclamation
of about 10000 acres of low-lying
ground in the basin of the Sacramento
river, California, below the city of Sac
ramento, while work is in progress to
protect 10000 more acres from the in
cursions of the last Is or 16 years. About
100000 acres are yet to be drained in
the Sacramento bottoms and less area
in the lowlands of the valley of the San
Joaquin. Attempts at diking made over
20 years ago failed because the sur
face soils and the peat used in con-
structing the dikes could not withstand
the wearing effect of the rivers current.
