TINE 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 cold.
This is the way the chronic ca.arrh 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 the person has 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 sc--, !nflamed throat.
The best time TO treat catarrh is at the
very beginning. A bottle of Peruna prop
erly used. never fails to cure a common
cold. thus preventing chronic catarrh.

THIS company's facilities fit 1t particularly well
to handle old instruments. With the best
equipped factories In America and special depart
ments for renovating old pianos. the instruments
put through a thorough course Of overhauling
and used to supply large country demand for
pianos that can be sold for so much less than new
Instruments must necessarily cost.
Special efforts made to get in old Upright
Pianos, well as Squares, and although the deal
placing less and less value on the Square
Pianos every day now, the F. G. Smith Piano Com
pany has held out for generous allowances in order
to control the bulk Of the trade.
At this season of the year 1t is particularly de-
sirable to get In old instruments. and values have
increased accordingly. On postal phone notifca-
tion a representative of this company will call at
any address and make offer for the old instru-
ment. While 1t is usually taken In exchange for a
new piano at the time Of trade flor one who once
has piano Is rarely satisfied to be without one),
they will make a special arrangement, giving the
owner due bill, equivalent to cash. to be used
toward the payment Of the new piano at any
future date.
The +. G. Smith Piano CO., located In the Brad
bury building, 1928 Pa. ave., is holding a
reduction sale, brought about through the circum-
stances of its recent Incorporation, and particularly
low prices being asked for all pianos Reduc-
lions on new instruments of much 500 and

exchange Of the old piano the cost of the piano
Is brought down to little. 1t
