ESHE season of catching cold Is upon
IA ia The cough and the Sneeze and

~E~IIE season Of catching cold Is upon
E us. The cough and the sneele and
nasal twRng are TO be heard on every
hand. The origin" Of Chronic catar1-h, the
most common and dreadful OF diseases, Is
cold
This is tho way the chronic cetarrh gen.
orally begins. A person catches cold,
which hangs on longer than usual. The
cold generally starts In tho head and
throat. Then follows sensitiveness Of the
air passages which incline one To catch
cold very easily At last the person has u
cold all the while seemingly, more or less
discharge from the nose, hawking, spit
ting, frequent clearing OF the throat, nos
tr,is stopped up, full feeling In the head
ind sore, inflamed throat.
The best time to treat Catarrh Is at tho
very beginning. A bottle Of Pcruna prop
erly used never fails TO cure n common
cold thus preventing chronic catarrh.
While many people have been cured OF
chronic catarrh by q single bottle OF
Peruna, yet, as a rule, when the catarTh
becomes thoroughly fixed more than one
bottle Is necessary to complete cure.
Pcruna has cured cases innumerable
Of oatarrh OF twenty years standing.
1t Is the best, II not the only internal
remedy for chronic catarTh In existence.
But prevention Is far better than cure.
Every person subject TO catching cold
should take Pcruna at once at the slight
est symptom of cold or sore throat at
this season of the year and thus prevent
what is almost certain to end In chronic
catarrh

zled. Noises OF various kinds were
made, and when the coyote at last
decided to move, he proved himself
a descendant Of the animals Max
Twain made famous. When he had n
good start the hunt followed. The
chase was hard, and the triumph
stolen. The coyote, thoroughly enjoy
ing the sport, was peacefully Looping
across the San Mateo landscape, in
advance of the hounds, where he was
seen by a Chinese cook. There rs a
Chinese superstition that tne tesh
OF wild animals makes one brave, 80
this cook obtained a gun and slew
the beast just as the hunters we're
becoming excited over who would be
In at the death" They were all
there, and their wrath was such that
the Chinese felt the need Of q courage
