San Antonio, Tex, Sept. I9-During a
public primary meeting here to-day, a
middle-aged man in the audience, who
was fumbling a rolled-up handkerchief
in his hand and persistently snithing and
pulling his nose during the delivery of a
speech, was forcibly elected from the as

grand rush for the nose-puller by some Of
the enraged hearers. He was grabbed
by the coat collar and unceremoniously
and swiftly moved toward the door.
When the man first sat down and be-
Ean loudly tearing out a throat-hawk
the audience shifted nervously. After
continuing the draw-rattle Of his catarrh
through one Of the most stirring parts
of the speech, the audience gave vent to
its feelings. He was roughly handled on
the way out and sustained several
bruises; He was taken to the county

Catarrh Kills
Thinking Power
Loss of Memory Inevitable
Result of Catarrh.

| Catarrh anywhere in the head or throat
| or ear is right next to the brain. The
catarrh germ grows fast, does an enor-
nous amount of damage in its burrOw-
| tngs into bone and flesh and is difficult
| to destroy. There are thousands of lit
tie nerves that run from all parts OF the
! face and head to the brain. Some OF
these little nerves have to pass through
! probably a mass Of catarrhal infamma-
tions on the road to the brain. When
they do they are weakened and some
times destroyed.
What affects the nerves is bound to
affect the brain, and when the nerves
are'deadened by constant catarrhal dis
charges there is bound to be a certain
torpor or stupidity brought about in the
brain of the victim. Thus follows sleep
lessness, inability to think clearly or to
connect ideas, loss of memory, lack of
concentration, lack of presence of mind
and a wandering of thought.
II any man or woman imagines that
these things do not affect their earning
capacity, their cheerfulness, and the es-
TEEN which their friends have for their
brightness, they have little realization of
the necessity of keeping the mind al
ways 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 brillianCy of
the normal brain, there is no good rea-
son why one should not spend the two
or three minutes it takes to cut out the
coupon below and send it to c. E. Gauss
and have him prove to you that he is
right, and that he positively cures ca
tarrh. The coupon below mailed now
will bring you back by return mail a

ment. 1t costs you absolutely nothing.

CATARRH EVERYWHERE,
EVEN ON PIXIES PEAK
No Man or Place Is Immune from
the Deadly Catarrh Germ.

No Man or Place Is Immune from
the Deadly Catarrh Germ.
There is no part Of the land which Is
free from catarrh. Attitudes and latitudes
have little effect in destroying this om-
nipresent germ. Many imagine that the
climate Of the West, with its high alti-
tude and dry atmosphere, tends to pre-
vent catarrh. There are Just as many
cases in proportion to the population west
as east Of the Mississippi. only the dis
ease is not as severe because of the cli-
matte effect upon the nerves
Even on Pixies Peak, which is over
1900 feet above the sea level, catarrh
seemed to attack several of the attaches
OF the signal station located there some
years ago.
No place is exempt. no human soul is
immune from catarrh. Don't imagine
because you don't live by a lake or a
river that you can't have catarrh. or
that you have only a chronic cold when
your nose has been stopped up for some
time. That is usually the way catarrh
starts-with a bad cold.

Some Results Of Catarrh
Even Slight Gases of Catarrh Have
! Terrible Consequences.

Every case of catarrh. of course, Is
not fatal. Nor does every case result in
consumption or bronchitis. but neverthe-
less 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 con-
sumption and partial idiocy. Women Of
strong vitality have become nervous
wrecks and victims Of bronchitis. Your
good health is not always a preventive
against the catarrh germs.
The more you feel sure there Is no
danger of the catarrh resulting in a dis
ease more serious the more danger there
IS simply because you will neglect your
self. This happens in hundreds of cases
and we see it recorded almost daily in
the letters we receive. IF l had only
