There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases

years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced 1t a local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven catarrh to be a consti-
tutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment Halls Ca

With theory that human health is
dependent on the stomach and with a
medicine which he says proves this
theory, L. T. Cooper has built up an
immense following during the past
year.
Cooper has visited most Of the lead
ing cities OF the country, and in each
city has aroused a storm of discus
sion about his beliefs and his medi-
cines. Wherever he has gone people
have called upon him by thousands,
and his preparation has sold in i'm
mense quantities.
The sale of this medicine mas now
spread over the entire country, and
is growing enorm ously each year. In
view Of this the following statement
from Mrs. Nettie c. Harris, living

her recent recovery from a severe
affliction, will be of uncommon inter-
est. Mrs. Harris says:

been a sufferer from acute indiges-

hemorrhoids. On December %, 1906
my husband, thinking I might at any
time die in one of the spells of indi-

ROBERT. HENRY HURT IN FALL FROM
 HORSE

Robert Henry was seriously injured shortly before 6 clock last night, when a horse which he was riding threw him and fell upon him, at Broad and Oak streets.
 That Henry sustained no broken bones and was not internally injured, is remarkable. He was just turning ihe corner at the side of the court house, when his horse stumbled and fell. He was thrown over the animals head and in turn, the horse fell upon him. The pommel of the saddle struck him in the chest and he was rendered uncon- seiOus.
 After five minutes work by bystana- CTS, Henry regained consciousness. He was examined by-Dr. C. B. Wiley, who failed to discover and fractured bones, after which he was taken to the county hospital.
 From that institution it was later re. ported that Henry was very weak and was bleeding slightly, but that it was not believed any serious internal injus- ies had been sustained.
 Henry is well known here as a pros pector He was on his way to his min ing claims, when the accident occurred.
