How to Get Rid
of Catarrh
A Simple. Safe, Reliable Way. and II
Costs Nothing to Try.

Those who suffer from catarrh know
its miseries There is no need of this
suffering. You can get rid of it by a
simple, safe, inexpensive, home treat
ment discovered by DR.. Blosser, who,
for over thirty-four years, has been
treating catarrh successfully.
His treatment is unlike any other.
1t is not a spray, douche, salve, cream,
or inhaler, but is a more direct and
thorough treatment than any of them.
1t cleans out the head, nose, throat
and lungs so that you can again
breathe freely and sleep without that
stopped-up feeling that all catarrh
sufferers have. 1t heals the diseased
membranes and makes a radical cure,
so that you will not be constantly
blowing your nose and splitting, and at
the same time it does not poison the
system and ruin the stomach, as in
ternal medicines do.
If you want to test this treatment
without cost, send your address to DR..
]. w. Blosser, 612 Walton street. At
lanta, Ga, and he will send you by
return mail enough of the medicine to
satisfy you that it is all he claims for
it as a remedy for catarrh. catarrhal
headaches, catarrhal deafness, asthma,
bronchitis, colds and all catarrhal COM
piIcations He will also send you free
an illustrated booklet. Write him i'm
mediately.

THE AMERICAN ARMYS BATTLE WITH THE WHITE PLAGUE
/. BY Mrs. c. q. Miller.

One OF the most effective remedies
for the prevention and cure Of tuber-
culosis is living in the open air, and
yet the American soldier who spends
the greater part Of his time out Of
doors is by no means immune from
the disease. Shortly after the Span
ish-American War the War Depart
ment found it necessary to take steps
for the establishment of sanitarium
for the consumptive soldiers. Fort
Bayard, an abandoned army post in
the southwestern part of New Mexico,
was selected for the purpose. There
are now engaged at this point in fight
ing the white plague ten army sur
geons and three line officers, with
about fifty hospital corps men and
eighteen trained nurses.
Fort Bayard embraces thirteen
square miles of land in the most pic
turesque part of the great Southwest
1t has an altitude Of over 5000 feet,
and at all seasons of the year is free
from that damp atmosphere which

lost silver thimb1e which had been

tried to locate her and advertised the
