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 nev-
ertheless they are very frequent No
man or woman knows what his or her
case Of catarrh would lead to- Men
of robust health have succumbed to
resulting consumption and partial lido
cy Women of strong vitality have be-
come nervous wrecks ana 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
disease more serious, the more danger
there is; simply because you will neg

serious news than we tell you here:

nave full realization of what it is to
nave catarrh-a common disease it is
true, but with a common reSult-misery

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.
The catarrh germ grows rast does an
enormous amount of damage in its bur
rowings into bone and flesh and is diff
ficult 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 10 pass
through probably a mass Of catarrhal
inhammations on the road to the brain
When they do they are weakened, and
sometimes 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 certain
torpor or stupidity brought about in
the brain of the victim. Thus follows
sIeeplessness, inability to think clearly
or to connect IDEAS loss OF memory
lack Of concentration, lack of presence
of mind and wandering of thought
If any man or woman imaglncs 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
always clear. That is all there is to life

short time to cure this terrible disease

Catarrh Everywhere, Ever
On Pixies Peak.
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 lati-
tudes have little effect in destroying
inns omnlpresent germ. Many mag
inc that the climate of the West. with
its high attitudes and dry atmosphere,
tends to prevent catarrh. There are
Just as many cases in proportion to the
population west as east of the Missis-
sippi, only the disease is not as severe
because of the climatic effect upon the
nerves.
Even on Pixies Peak, which is over
$4,000 feet above the sea level. catarrh
seemed to attack several of the at
taches 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 chronic cold when
your nose has been stopped UP for
some time. That is usually the way
catarrh starts-with bad cold
