CATARRn

Catarrh has become such common
disease that person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
with. 1t is customary to speak of Catarrh
as nothing more serious than bad cold,
a simple Inflammation of the nose and
throat. 1t is, In fact, complicated and
very dangerous disease; if not at first, it
very soon becomes so.
The blood is quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions, and the poison through
the general circulation is carried to all
parts Of the system.
Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis-
factory and disappointing. because they DO
not reach the seat of the trouble. S. S.
does. 1t cleanses the blood of the pOis5r
and eliminates from the system all catar-
rhal secretions, and thus cures thoroughly
and permanently the worst cases.

ELMA THE THIRD VICTIM.
A Block of Business Houses are
Burned Wednesday Morning.

Elma has again been called upon to
give up block of its most central
business houses to that great destroy
er, fire.
At 1890 O'Clock Wednesday morning
fire was discovered in the rear of Mrs.
D. @. Speeds grocery. The alarm was
Immediately given, but at that hour,
just when people are in the soundest
slumber, it took some time to arouse
the people. Yet it was sbut a short
time until many men were at hand and
work of removing goods from the
doomed buildings began.
The Hess building, occupied by the
Speed grocery was soon enveloped in
the whirling, twisting, seething flames
and the willing workers had but time
to save small per cent of the goods
or fixtures. Mr.. and Mrs Speed were
compelled to flee in their nightclothes
to save their lives.
The Long. building on the north was
the next to meet its fate. Mrs. Con-
stantine has just opened a restaurant
there and was hardly settled. The
Racket store L. q. Wachtel next
succumbed, and in very short time
the tailor shop and residence of 81. 81.
Mailman was enveloped. A few min
utes and the hungry monster had fin
ished its hellish work there and leaped
to the ]. w. Cannon store and it was
soon a smouldering mass of ruins.
Here the fire was checked inits north
erly course by the street and the solid
walls of the Farmers Bank.
During this time the workers had
held the fire in check at the south and
it was thought that the brick buildings
would be saved. But it was not to be,
and just when all thought it was saved
the roof burst into flames and nothing
could be done to save it. This block
was occupied by the large general
store of A. A. Carter, on the north,
next the postotfice and the corner
room was occupied by the Richmond
Drug Co.
In the meantime the fire had cross
ed the street to the west and fastened
its fangs onto the beautiful railway
club house and it too, was consumed
together with the water tower.
| With the burning of the Richmond
drug store the southwark course of the
fire was stopped. The Darrow House
across the street was saved by the
hardest and hottest of work.
4 "A large per cent Of the merchandise
was removed from theStores, much o
it greatly damaged afterward. 1t il
surprising SO much was saved in 81
short time. The fire started jus1

minutes were such as try men s.mettlt
