If there is a fire in your cellar you put it out
with water. If the flames are in the kitchen
you use water again. If the fire is located in
the second story water is the agent to subdue
it. If in the attic water is still your saliva
ton. Fire is fire, and no matter where To-
Gated, water puts it out.
Your body is house of many stories. 1t is
lined throughout with marve1ous1y sensitive
MUCOUS membrane. Whenever this men,
brane becomes irritated or inhamed, the result
is Catarrh. When you catch cold, you have
Catarrh of the head, or eyes, or ear or nose.
Bronchitis is Catarrh of the bronchial tubes.
Pneumonia is Catarrh of the air cells of the
lungs. Consumption is Catarrh of the lungs.
Heartburn and Dyspepsia are Catarrh of the
stomach. Kidney troubles are Catarrh of the
kidneys. Bi1iousness is Catarrh of the liver.
Leucorrhoea is Catarrh of the pelvic organs in
women. Almost everyone has Catarrh in
some form.
Pe-ru-na is the name of medicine that
cures Catarrh in any part of the body, the same
as water extinguishes fire in every part of
house. 1t is long tried specific for Catarrh
in every complication and phase. 1t restores
the delicate pink membrane that lines the in
side of the body to a perfectly normal condi-
ton, and thus makes the sick we'll It is
universal remedy for that universal disease
Catarh. 1t is the only true Catarrh cure
known to medical science.

A study of winter birds will con-
vince one that they are something
more than mere weather prophets.
On the contrary they are peculiarly
beneficial to horticulture. A few of
them live on seeds of weeds that it is
very desirable should be destroyed
Others are usefnl in distributing the
seeds of the fruits they eat, such as
high bush cranberry and barberry
Still others among our winter birds
make incessant search after the eggs
of insects, hidden under the bark and
in the cracks of trees. Such as the
woodpecker pull out and destroy the
borers that are hidden deeper in the
wood. These birds should certainly
be encouraged, for not one Of them is
injurious. This does not include the
encouragement of English sparrows,
who are here at all seasons.-ErchGnge
