There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases

years was supposed TO be incurable.

stantly failing TO cure with local
treatment. pronounced it incurable.

PaDy. OF Battle Greek, Mich.
The gold and bronze medals for su-
preme excellence have just been
awarded by the judges of the Paris
exposition to the Sanitas Nut Food
company of Battle Greek, Mich. This
honor is well deserved by this COM
pany, who for years past have main
tanned a sterling standard of quality
in their various products manufac-
tured from choice edible nuts, made
perfectly digestible through their
special processes.
The success of the Sanitas Nut Food
company in furnishing these pro-
ducts, which are perfect substitutes
for flesh foods, has been attended with
a host of imitators. but none are able
to supply the high grade products that
this company puts out.
The public should not confuse San
itas Nat Foods, which are made from
nuts, with the several cereal foods
upon the market.

There is no doubt that we do not
drink enough Our bodies consist
largely OF water. and the average man
needs TO drink from four 10 six pints
OF water daily N order TO maintain
health. This IS the amount OF water
eliminated from the body by means OF
the kidneys. the skin and lungs. II is
evident that a fresh supply is constant
~ needed TO supply this lost aid in the
process OF digestion and carry away

II the amount OF water imbibed is
