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

The first stage of catarrh is what is
commonly known as Catching cod 1t
may be IN the head, nose, throat Or lungs.
Its beginning is sometimes severe TO
cause chill and considerable fever, or it
may be so slight as to not hinder person
from his usual business. In perhaps a
majority of cases little 10 attention
is paid to the first stage OF eatarri and
hence it is that nearly one-half OF the peo
pie have chronic catarrh i'll some form.
To neglect cold is to invite chronic
catarrh. As soon as any one discovers
the first symptoms of catching cod he
should at once begin the use OF Peruna

Fish Act al surueons,

"Along the Caribbean Sea-" said an
artist who has recently returned from
those parts, cit is a common thing to
see men and women and children sit
ting on the banks of streams, with
their bare legs soaking in the water.
They have a strange reason for
this strange conduct. They are much
troubled by little insecta kind of
tick-which buries itself in their flesh,
and is very hard to disiodge; and so,
when the ticks have gotten in them,
they go to the water bury the infected
parts beneath the surface and keep
quite still. The fish have a fondness
for ticks, and they hasten to the
cleaning human flesh they see. and
pulling the ticks out, devour them.
I'm that manner the Caribs fish are
called upon to act as surgeons. Efh-
cient and painless surgeons they make
too. "-Phi!adelphia Record.
