experience OF severe and protracted
winter weather the like Of which we

stubborn persistence Of catarrhal trou-

fortunate indeed who has not been at
some time since Christmas confined
to his bed with q cold OF some sort
that he cannot succeed in curing. This
condition Of affairs has existed for
months, and the end is not yet. In
fact, It behooves all careful people TO
be on their guard against all catarrhal
troubles more than ever.
