MICROBES THRIVE IN COLD.

Experiments Show That Some Live
Longer at Freezing Point.
It Is popularity believed that cold
has tho effect of destroying those
microbes and disease germs which
are the greatest enemies of life and
health. This belief has lately been
demonstrated to be entirely mistaken.
As a matter of fact, cold acts as =
preservative of some disease germs.
It keeps them inactive for . time. but
alive and ready for activity at some
future favorable opportunity. 1t saves
them from the natural death they
might die If exposed to an ordinary
temperature.

ton to this fact. and many prominent
scientists are engaged in studying the
subject. As q general rule q marked

In a few cases the air is a degree
slightly below freezing point will kill
them, but, on the other hand. there
are man deadly microbes which con-
tinue to live at an extraordinarily low
temperature, such as that OF liquid
air and other substances, which can
only be produced by chemical action.
Experiments conducted by the scien-
lists prove that 1t is useless to seek
in low temperature methods OF ster-

ITHE season of catching cold is upon us.
The cough and the sneeze and the
nasal twang are to be heard on every
hand. The origin of chronic catarrh, the most
common and dreadful of diseases, is a cold.
This is the way the chronic catarrh gen.
orally begins. A person catches cold, which
hangs on longer than usual. The cold gen.
orally starts in the head and throat. Then
follows sensitiveness of the air passages
which incline one to catch cold very easily.
At last tho person has a cold all the while
seemingly, more or less discharge from the
nose. hawking. splitting, frequent clearing
of the throat. nostrils stopped up. full feel
Ing in the head, and sore. infamed throat.
The best time to treat catarrh is at the
very beginning. A bottle of Peruna prop
Eerly used. never fails to cure a common
cold, thus preventing chronic catarrh.
The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1903-02-06

While many people have been cured Of
chronic catarrh by a single bottle of Peruna,
yet, as a rule, when the catarrh becomes
thoroughly fixed more than one bottle is
necessary to complete a cure. Peruna has
cured cases innumerable of catarrh of
twenty years standing. 1t is the best, if
not the only internal remedy for chronic
catarrh in existence.
But prevention is far better than cure.
Every person subject to catching cold should
take Peruna at once at the slightest syrnp-
tom of cold or sore throat at this season Of
the year and thus prevent what is almost
certain to end in chronic catarrh.
