Captain Coffin, one of the old-time
whalers of Nantucket. had thrill
ing experience with a big sperm
whale In the south Pacific. He had
fairly hsrpooned the whale. when
the monster turned, crushing the
boat in its enormous jaws, and scat
tering the crew into the waves.
The captain found himself in the
whales jaws, but managed to wrig-
gle out. and was rescued with his
men, luckily uniniured.
Capt Coffin, said a solemn friend .
when the old sailor was relating the
adventure. what did you think
when you were in the jaws OF that
great whale2"

TELLS HOW TO
OVERCOME
CATARRH
Prescription Which Sufferers
Should Make Up

Unless all signs fail, this will prove
hard season for those who are sub
ject to catarrhal disease.
The coming months will be a har-
vest for tho doctors and patent medi-
cine manufacturers unless great care
is taken to dress warm and keep the
feet dry
This is the advice of we'll known
authority and should be needed by
all who are subject to rheumatism,
kidney and bladder troubles and espe-
cially catarrh. While the latter is
considered by most suffers an incur
able disease, there are few men or
women who will fail to experience
great relief from the following sim
pie home prescription, and II taken In
time 1t will prevent an attack of ca
tarrh during. the entire season.
Here is the prescription which any
one can mix: Fluid Extract Dande-
lion one-half ounce, Compound Kar-
gon one ounce. Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla three ounces. Shake
well in bottle and use in teaspoon
full doses after each meal and again
at bedtime.
These are mostly vegetable ingre-
dients and can be obtained from any
good prescription pharmacy at small
cost.
The Compound Kargon in this pre-
scription acts directly upon the elm
NATIVE tissues of the kidneys to
make them filter and strain from
the blood, the poisons that produce
all forms of catarrhal affections. Re
lief is often felt even after the first
few doses and 1t is seldom that the
sufferer ever experiences a return at
tack within the year.
This prescription makes a splen-
did remedy for all forms of blood
disorders and such symptoms as lame
back, bladder weakness and rheu-
matism pains are entirely dispelled.
AS this valuable prescription comes
from a thoroughly reliable source, Il
should be needed by every AFFLICTED
reader.
