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 a chill and considerable fever,
or it may be so slight as to not hinder a
person from his usual business. In per-
haps majority of cases little or no at
tention is paid to the first stage of Ca
tarrh, 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
the first symptoms of catching cold he
should at once begin the use of Peruna
