CONSUMPTIDNIN IN
ACTUAL RETREAT

The last United States Mortality Bulletin
shows a market decrease in the number Of
deaths from Consumption.
Ten years ago the official record showed
the annual number OF deaths out Of 10000
population to be 245. The recent Bulletin
shows that only 100 now annually fan victims
to Consumption out OF the same number OF
inhabitants.
In 1890 the average life was si1 years.
Now it is $50 years.
These facts point Enthusiastically TO the
actual retreat of the grim monster Tul.er-
culosis, which is responsible for the largest
number of deaths from various diseases.
The honor Of thus effectively srresting the
progress Of this fatal ma'ady rests with the
wonderful system Of treatment which has
been reduced to an exact science for the
cure Of Consumption and for the cure Of

The use of inhalers and the application
OF salves, washes, and powders to the
nose and throat TO cure catarrh is no more
reasonable than TO rub the back to cure
kidney diseases Catarrh is just as much
blood disease as kidney trouble or rheu-
matism and It cannot be cured by local
treatment any more than they can be.
To cure catarrh, whether in the head,

that Reciprocity is the opening wedge for

porous to tinker with any policy that has
been proven to be a wise one by ex-
