Spare the stamps and spoil the treat ment.
 We believe in telling the truth and saw ing time. Common sense wins. Write and ask any of Gauss patients. Down in the mouth can apply to the spirit as well as the catarrh Half the unhappiness in the world comes
 from little iniammatons Cure them early.
 All great things are conceived in Sweat" Gauss worked hard and pro- duced cure that will live atfer him. Some would know great deal more about being able to cure catarrh if they could forget a lot of old Ideas they never should have learned.
 The reasons of the strongest always yield to the strongest reasons-common sense Gauss Treatment prevails for the same reason.
 If the catarrh victim would stick to the treatment as faithfully as the catarri stick to him, that disease would probably be as infrequent as the now conquered diphtheria. There are some people who instead of making the best use of the chances they have for cure for always telling of what they might do under happier cir cumstances. Send the coupon.

Confessions of
 a Catarrh Victim
Some of the Experiences That Catarrh
 Forces Upon It's Slaves

I get boiling mad when people tell me I've got catarrh. I've had dozens of mere acquaintances, and especially one young lady, who have come up and ventured to tell me something flor my own benefit" That expression begins to pail on me flor my own benefit" It 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 doctor used to say he had the worst case he ever heard about
 Now, when a friend puts his hand on my shoulder I 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 swal- low me up.
 I walk along the street close to the cubstone. When I ride on car I stand on the rear platform rather than sit down inside.
 wish I could talk without having to open my mouth to breathe. wish that kisses were obsolete. I wish that hand kerchiefs could be turned into sheets. l wish that no chair but mine would be placed at table I wish that other people were deaf, blind and without noses. I wish that I were alone, always alone to hawk and spit when and where

Sniffler Chased
 Out of Meeting
Enraged Audience Roughly Handles cagger Who Interrupts Speech

San Antonio, September 19.-During a public primary meeting here today mid dle aged man in the audience who was fumbling rolled up handkerchief in his hand and persistently shilling and pull ing his nose during the delivery of a speech. was forcibly elected from the as- sembly hall. Cries of Kick him out' and "Choke the lobster interrupted the pro- ceedings and finally resulted in a 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 began loudly tearing out throat hawk. the au- dience shifted nervously. After continu- ing the draw rattle of his catarrh through one of the most stirring parts of the speech the audience gave vent to it's feel ings- He was roughly handled on the way out, and sustained several severe bruises. He was taken to the county hospital.
 1t is such occurrences as these which make the catarrh victim one of the de- spised of his race. He can't help show h.s disease. If this man had simply spent . few moments time to send to c. E. Gauss for a package of the wonderful Gauss Catarrh Treatment he never would have suffered such an indignity as being kicked out of a public meeting.

Eminent Doctor Says Blindness
 Due to Catarrh
tAssociated Press Dispatch.) )

London, August 6.-Dr. II. Manning Fish of Joliet, Ill.,, declared at the medical congress that most of the blind ness in the world is the result of catarrh in the upper nasal cavities or the bony cells composing the roof of the snostrils.
 pr. Fish described his experience in thirty-six cases, covering period of several years. claiming that in each of these immediate improvement of the vision followed the effective treatment Of the diseased nasal cavities. and ad- vised that in cases of loss of vision fol- lowing grip. measles, scarlet fever and kindred ailments relief be sought through treatment of the noses of the patients.
 Catarrh is caused by germ which must be destroyed before the catarrh itself can be cured. If not cured, blind ness may result An extended history of the many extraordinary cures effected by the Gauss treatment will probably be brought to the attention of the next in- ternational meeting os the medical con gress.

 Travel Together

The limit Is the catarrh gagger at the table, the man or woman with an appetle losing hawk and a hank. utterly unmind- full of the nausea he causes to other peo- pie who are trying not to notice or heal him.
 Do you wonder that other people de- spise this creature? While others have joyously assembled around the board with a delicious mouth watering appetite, here comes the hawker with nose jerking grim aces jerkgurgle in his throat. and a balled up handkerchief in his hand. Hor- TOTS. forget it Go away and cure that catarrh before appearing at a public ta- ble and mingling your bad breath with the scent of steaming tenderloin steak.

Makes Home Miserable

What happens at the table when the catarrh-gag comes on (and man can eat and pull his nose at the same tme) we will not mention. What happens after such meal in the sitting room, or dress ing room. or hallroom or the stairs, any where and everywhere, with hawk, hawk, hawk can be imagined. What hap pens when the victim almost leans on top of the cuspidor in the presence of the mem bers of the family and hawks and jerks with twisted face. Is a subject merely to be mentioned. What happens during the snoring, sleepless hours of the night, with a foul smelling odor waiting about in the closed room. we can easily picture.
 And add to 1t all the misery of the mis- erabe man himself Is it any wonder that divorce Is seized upon as a cure?
 The Gauss treatment would Fat once remedy all these horrible phases If left to c. E. Gauss, Mrs. oRasmussen would have no reason for getting a divorce. These are cases which. though they have their humorous angles. after all make or unmake the happiness of us all. If you have catarrh in any form cut out the coupon below and mail it to C. E.

Some Results
 of Catarrh
Even Slight Cases of catarrh Have
 Terrible Consequences

Every case of catarrh. of course, Is not fatal Nor does every case result In consumption or bronchitis. but never theless they are very frequent No man or woman knows what his or her case of catarrh will lead to. Men Of robust health have sucoumbed to resulting con sumption and partial idiocy. Women oi strong vitality have become nervous wrecks and victims of bronchitis. Your good health is not always preventive against the catarrh germs.
 The more you feel sure there IS no oah- ger of the eatarrh resulting in a disease more serious, the more danger there lsi simply because you will neglect yourself This happens in hundreds of cases, and we see it recorded almost daily In the letters we receive. If had only started earlier" Is a very frequent expression showing that our warning is not fanci- ful, but based on fearful reality.
 Even slight cases of catarrh may re- suit in nose cancer. than which there is hardly a more pitiful affliction In this world

Catarrh Kills
 Thinking Power
Gradual Clouding 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 Tne ca tarrh germs grow fast. does an enor- nous amount of damage In its burrowings into bono and flesh, and is difficult 10 destroy There are thousands or htue nerves that run from all parts or the face and head to the brain. some or these little nerves have to pass through probably mass of catarrhal innamma- tions on the road to the brain. When they do they are weakened and sometimes de- stroyed.
 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 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 wandering of thought.
 When 1t takes such 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 reason why one should not spend the two or three minutes 1t 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 catarrh. The coupon below mailed now will bring you back by return mail package Of the wonderful Gauss treatment. It costs you absolutely nothing. Address C. E. Gauss.

 Mrs. Rasmussen states that no woman with any shadow of self respect could consent to be in constant association even with a man she loved who was afflicted in the manner she states. She says she regrets the publicity attached to a suit for divorce, but that it is either that or simply lie down and die in disgust

 Are Near Them
The Positive Cure for Catarrh 10 the Gauss Treatment-A Free Trlai,
 to Prove 1t, Is Sent to All I Who Write for 1t

There is nothing so nauseating as to have to sit next to a gagging catarrh vic tim or to talk to one of them and have whiffs of bad catarrh breath constantly blown into your face. No man or wom- an suffering with catarrh can avoid these things, because 1t is part of the catarrh itself. though the victim may not realize or know that his very presence carries with it certain garbage atmosphere. You can't smell your own breath and you gan seldom smell your own smell.
 The constant splitting and hacking and nose jerking is enough to make even the members of ones own family breathe a sigh of relief when the hawker closes
