T IKE A DEMON grip has crossed
Aour country, leaving behind scores

OF the throat, catarrh OF the lungs,
catarrh Of the stomach, catarrh of the
kidneys, catarrh Of the pelvic organs,

Grip is epidemic catarrh, and sows the
seed OF chronic catarrh within the
system.
This is so true that few grip sufferers
are able to make a complete recovery
until they have used Peruna.
Never in the history of medicine has
a remedy received such unqualified and
universal eulogies as Peruna.

near the day for which they have pre-
minds, the value of their system of
prediction. They may believe that
they have discovered a physical law
or a meteorological principle that has
not been revealed to astronomers, me-
teorologists, or any other class of
scientific investigators, but the publ
cation of predictions that, by reason
of their inaccuracy are positively in
juries to agricultural, commercial and
other Industrial interests casts a
doubt upon the honesty of their max
ers.
As result of my personal vertical
tion of the work of long range weather
forecasters, some of whom have so far
gained the confidence of the rural
press as to receive liberal compensa-
tioa for their predictions, | am led to
the conclusion that these forecasters
do positive injury to the public at
large. 1t is to be regretted that so
many newspapers not only give space
to these h4rmful predictions, but act
ually pay for them. Forecasts of this
description may properly be classed
with advertisements of quack medi-
are both harmful in the
extreme.
l hope the time will come when it
will be possible to forecast the wealth
er for coming seasons, to specify in
what respect the coming month or sea-
son will conform to or depart from
the weather that is common to the
month or season, but that time has
not yet arrived, and l believe that we
will serve the public interests by
teaching the people the limitations of
weather forecasting, and by warning
them against imposition.
