TH HE season of catching cold is upon us.
i The cough and'the sneeze and nasal
twang are to be heard on every hand. The
origin of chronic catarrh, the most com
mon 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
generally starts in the head and throat.
Then follows sensitiveness Of the air pas
sages which incline one to catch cold very
easily. At last the 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 feeling in the head and sore, infamed
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.
While many people have been cured Of
chronic catarTh by a single bottle Of Pc
runa, yet, as rule, when the catarrh be
comes thoroughly fixed, more than one bot
tie is necessary to complete cure. Pc
runa has cured cases innumerable of ca
tarrh of twenty years standing. 1t is the
best, if not the only internal remedy fol
chronic catarrh in existence.
But prevention is far better than cure
Every person subject to catching cold
should take Peruna at once at the slight
est symptom of cold or sore throat at THU
season Of the year and thus prevent what
is almost certain to end in chronic catarrh

No one would have supposed that a
company of girls would go out on
strike because there were too many
mirrors in their workroom, but this has
happened in New York. The trouble
was that the foreman had arranged
the mirrors round bis desk 50 that
without seeming to notice he could see

steadily. When the device Was noticed

Children Gain Weight In Autumn.

Some curious Experiments have been
made at one of the royal philanthro-
pic institutions in Copenhagen. For
some years back the seventy boys and
girls in the place have been carefully
weighed every day in groups Of fifteen
and under. Thereby it is proved that
the children gain weight mostly in
autumn and in the early part of De-
cember. From that time to the end OF
April there is scarcely any increase
in weight. More remarkable still,
there is a diminution till the end Of
summer.-Chicago Tribune.
