ONLY PARTLY TRUE.
Popular Ideas Regarding catarrh.

EvpIl4t AAGa1 tNG gar AlAis @dAaA'tlAs
1t is the common belief that what is
popularity known as catarrh is simply a
choric cold in the head This is true as
far as lit goes, but as a matter of fact
catarrh is by no means confined to the
nasal passages. but extends wherever
the mucous membrane extends. which
means nearly every part of the body
The mucous membrane is the inside
skin of the body and is nearly as exten-
sive as the outside skin, and any in1am-
nation Of this mem braue causing an ex-
ira secretion of fluid is really catarrh
CataQrh. Us therefore. an old enemy dis
guiseQ by many confusing names. for
instance Rhinitis is nasal catarrh:
laryngitis and pharyngitis throat ca
farrh- gastritis, stomach catarrh: cysUi-
tis and nephritis, catarrh Of the bladder
and kidneys.
Therefore, although the location Of the
trouble gives it various names, in real
itF the sum total is catarrh and nothing
else
DO not make the mistake of thinking
you have no catarTh because the head
and nose appear to be clear. If there is
q cough, tickling in the throat and
huarseness you have throat catarrh, if
there IS no appetite, but nausea, gag
ging and disgust for food especially in
ne morning. you have catarrh on the
stomach
The surest treatment for every Iorm
of catarrh is an Internal remedy Which

Cure.

Do not neglect the warning symptoms of a
weak heart. Palptation, smothering spells,
swelling of feet or ankles, pain in and around
heart; oftentimes affections of the stomach,
lungs, liver, bladder, kidneys, etc, arise from
heart weakness. A weak heart must be
helped. 1t cannot stop to rest. It must be
strengthened and regulated. The blood must
be enriched, the heart nerves strengthened
and the circulation improved BY the great
heart and blood tonic, Dr. Miles Heart

this wonderful medicine in its beneficial
influence upon hearts weakened from any
cause.
