FIRST STAGE OF CATARRH.
"A Serious Mistake Which Thou.
Sands Are Making.

The first stage OF catarrh is what is
commonly known as Catching cold" 1t
may be in the head, nose, throat or lungs.
Its beginning is sometimes So severe as
to cause a chill and considerable fever,
or it may be so slight as to not hinder a
person from his usual business. In per-
haps majority of cases little or no at
tention is paid to the first stage of Ca
tarrh, and hence it is that nearly one
half of the people have chronic Catarrh
in some form.
To neglect a cold is to invite chronic
catarrh. AS soon as any one discovers
the first symptoms OF catching cold he
should at once begin the use of Peruna

A WORD ABOUT
COLD-MOULDED
RECORDS x "

Columbia Moulded Cylinder Records
were the first moulded records on the
market by about i year.
They always have been Gold-mould-
ed. y gold mould is the only economi-
cal and efficient mould known to the
art.
Moulded records are superior to the
old engraved records because they
may be made of harder material.
Hard records last longer and have a
better quality of tone.
A gold-mouIded record made of soft
material would be no better in quality
than an engraved record in soft ma
terial.
The best moulded records are not
only Gold-moulded. They are super
hardened.
Gold-moulded records are less ex-
pensive than engraved records. The
process is simpler.
Formerly, blank cylinders were
moulded. then shaved, then engraved
from an original The originals soon
wore out under the reproducing
stylus.
Now. gold-lined mould is made
from the original. and the product of
that mould is d smoothly finished CYL
inder, with the sound record already
on it. The life of the original is in
creased 10 times, hundred times.
thousand times.

cause il is gold-moulded.

Columbia Moulded Cylinder Records

cess. They are not only gold-moulded.
They are super-harden
