FIRST STAGE OF CATARRH.
A Serious Mistake Which Thou
sands Are Making.

The first stage of catarrh is what is
commonly known as catching cold 1t
may be in the head, nose, throat or lungs.
Its beginning is sometimes so severe as
to cause chill and considerable fever, or
it may be so slight as to not hinder person
from his usual business. In perhaps
majority of cases little or no attention is
paid to the first stage of catarrh, and hence
it is that nearly one-half of the people have
chronic catarrh in some form.
To neglect cold is to invite chronic
catarrh. As soon as any one discovers
