How Ka-tar-no Protects.

August and September are the months when disease germs flourish. The water is apt to be low and stag nant the weather hot and dry. All these surroundings are very favorable to the formation and development of disease germs.
 But these disease germs must find their way into the body through the mucous membrane, either of the nose, throat, lungs or stomach They are taken through air, or water, or food. It is a well-known fact that disease germs cannot pass through the mu- cous membranes into the interior of the body except the mucous membranes are slightly deranged by catarrh. To keep the mucous membranes intact prevents the entrance of disease germs into the system.
 Ka-tar-no has been In use many years as a catarrh remedy. It should be taken by people who are subject to eatarrh during the disease germ pe- rlod in order to fortify against the ac- ton of disease germs
 Ka-tar-no Is not recommended to kill disease germs, but rather to make the entrance of disease germs into the body improbable. Those who take Ka-tar-no according to the directions on tne bot tie have little or no occasion to fear the encroachments of disease germs so common during August and September
