tween them and the Americans.
When. later. Aquinaldo was directed
to move out he objected strenuousy

the people of the city were quite
friendly, but by the 1st of January,

Its excellence for smoking is vouched

n n OST people think catarrh is a
INI disease confined to the head and
ANA nose. Nothing is farther from
the truth. 1t may be that the nose and
,Aroat is the oftencst affected by ca
tafrh, but if this is SO it is so only because
these parts are more exposed to the
vicissitudes of the climate than the
other parts of the body.
Every organ, every duct, every cavity
of the human body is liable to catarrh
A multitude of ailments depend on ca
tarrh. This is true winter and summer
Catarrh causes many cases of chronic
disease, where the victim has not the
slightest suspicion that catarrh has any
