What happens at the table when the ca

not mention. What happens after such a
meal In the sitting-roon. or dressng groom
or ballroom, the stairs. anywhere and

be imagined. What happens when the VIC

Confessions of
a Gatarfh Victim
Some of the Experiences That Catarrh
Forces Upon Its Slaves.

I get boiling mad when people tell me
I've got catarrh. I've had dozens of mere
acquaintances, and especially young
lady, who have come up and ventTed to
tell me something "for my own benefit" )"
That expression begins to pail on mc-'for
my own benefit" 1t seems they all want
TO tell me the same thing, you ought to
take something for your catarrh; I'll tell
you how my cousin got cured, and every doc
tor used to say he had the worst case he
ever heard about"
Now, when a friend puts his hand on my
shoulder. 1 gulp in preparation for catarrh
advice. This gulp is not mere throat action
but the swallowing of mucus. Nothing would
suit me better than to have the earth open
and swallow me up.
1 walk along the street close to the curb
stone. When I ride on car. I stand on the
rear platform rather than sit down inside.
1 wish 1 could talk without having tc
open my mouth to breathe. I wish that
kisses were obsolete. 1 wish that hand
llerchiefs could be turned into sheets.

Some Results of Catarrh.
Even Slight Cases of Catarrh Have Ter
rib.c Consequences.

Every case of catarrh. OF course. is not
fatal Nor does every case result IN con-
sumption or bronchitis. but nevertheless they
are very frequent. No man or woman knows
what his or her case of catarrh will lead to.
Men of robust health have succumbed to
resulting consumption and partial idiocy.
Women OF strong vitality have become ner-
vous wrecks and victims of bronchitis. Your
good health is not always a preventive
against the cataTh germs.
The more you feel sure there is no danger
of the catarrh resulting in disease more Sc
rious, the more danger there is; simply be-
cause you will neglect yourself. This hap

corded almost daily in the letters we receive
III I had only started the cure earlier" is
very frequent expression, showing that our
warning is not fancifu, but based on fearful
reality.

in nose cancer, than which there is hardly

Catarrh Kills
Thinking Power.
Gradual CIouding of the Brain and Loss
of Memory Inevitable Result
of Catarrh.

Catarrh anywhere in the head or throat
or ear is right next to the brain. The ca
tarrh germ grows fast, does an enormous
amount OF damage in its borrowings into
bone and flesh and is difficult to destroy.
There are thousands OF little nerves that
run from all parts of the face and head
to the brain. Some Of these little nerves
have to pass through probably mass Of
catarrhal nfammations on the road to the
brain. When they do they are weakened,
and sometimes destroyed.
What affects the nerves Is ;rcu.t to affect
the brain, and when the nerves are deadened
by constant catarrhal discharges there is
bound TO be a certain torpor or stupidity
brought about in the brain of the victim.
Thus follows sleeplessness, inability to thinI;
clearly or to connect ideas, loss of memory,
lack of concentration, lack Of presence OF
mind and a wandering OF thought.
If any man or woman ina agines that these
things DO not affect their earning capacity,
their cheerfulness. and the esteem which
| their friends have for their brightness, they
have little realization of the necessity OF
keeping the mind always clear. That is all
there is to life.
When it takes such a comparatively short
time TO cure this terrible disease by the
Gauss common-sense treatment. and regain
the flash and briIianey of the normal braip,
there is no good reason why one should not
spend the two three minutes it takes to
