and getting no permanent relief came to
the conclusion that the seat of the trouble
was in the blood. Knowing S. S. S. to be
good blood medicine I began its use,
and after using it for some little while it
did away entirely with the offensive mu-
Gus in the nostrils, and did not have to
hawk and spit, especially in the morning,
to dislodge the catarrhal matter.

Severe Weather.

Severe Weather.
February is a month of severe storms
and intense cold.
Even in the South where the prevail
ing temperature is much above wintry
attitudes, February brings sudden
changes of temperature.
Mercury sometimes drops 20 degrees
in a single night.
Therefore, the following health hints
are applicable to the whole of North
America:
Ventilation.
The sleeping rooms should be we'll
ventilated, but SO as to avoid direct
currents of air.
Bathing.
Those in vigorous health should take
a cold water towel bath every morning
before breakfast. Those in feeble
health should take brisk dry-towel-
rub every morning.
Diet.
The diet uhould be generous one,
including meat, and occasionally fresh
vegetables.
Sunshine.
The nights being long and the days
short, as much sunshine as possible
should be let into the house during the
day.
Clothing.
The head should be kept cool at all
times. The feet should be kept warm
and dry, day and night.
Pe-ru-na.
When unavoidably exposed to cold
or wet, few doses of Peruna will avert
bad consequences.
Precaution.
When seized with a chill, or even
slight chilliness, a dose of 'Peruns
should be taken at once.
