some OF the Experiences that Sa-

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 "for

fit" 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

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 con-
sumption or bronchitis. but nevertheless
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 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
case more serious, the moro 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 had only started
the cure earlier is a very frequent ex.
preston, showing that our warning Is
not fanciful, but based on fearful reality.
Even slight cases Of catarrh may result
in nose cancer. than which there is hard
ly a more painful affiiction In this world.
Catarrh Fatally Frequent.
Some OF the frequent results OF catarrh
are bronchitis, pneumonia, death, and de-
cay OF bones. loss Of thinking and reason
ing power, death Of ambition and energy,
loss of appetite, indigestion, dyspepsia,
liberation, bad breath, raw throat, raw
sores in the nose, general debility, and
sometimes idiocy and insanity.
This is why in the death list You do
not find a mention Of fatal catarrh; the
death is caused not directly by the ca
tarrh itself, but a disease which was
caused by catarrh. Medical books and
cyclopedias will tell you even more seri-
Gus news than We tell you here: probably
after reading them you will have a full
realization OF what IT is to have catarrh
"a common disease, il is true, but with
common result-misery for years, II not
death.
Cure Is Certain.

serious. once and forever. by means of

EMINENT DOCTOR
SAYS BLINDNESS
DUE TO CATARRH
(Associated Press Dispatch.

LONDON, Aug. Cdr. H. Manning
Fish, of Joliet, ILL.,, declared at the r1edi-
cal congress that most of the blindness
I'm the world is the result OF catarrh in
the upper nasal cavities or the bony cells
composing the roof of the nostrils.
DIR. Fish described his experience in
thirty-six cases, covering a 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 advised
that in cases of less OF vision following
grip, measles, scarlet fever and kindred
ailments relief be sought through treat
ment Of the noses Of the patients.
Catarrh is caused by germ which
must be destroyed. before the catarrh it
self can be cured. II 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

gress.

Il only wish I could gather some Of my
patients together and let you hear them

unknown to them. Ny treatment not

them feel much healthier.

CATARRH EVERYWHERE,
EVEN ON PIXIES PEAK
No Man OF 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 this
omnipresent germ. Many imagine 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 Mississippi. only the
disease Is not as severe because OF the
climatic effect upon the nerve.
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 have only a chronic cold
when your nose has been stopped up for
some time. That is usually the way ca
tarrh starts-with a bad cold.

regard for the afflicted one little men,
ton of his pollution is ever made to his

cry and such plain talk as Is contained
in this page to reach him and to cure
him. There is a cure for this pestilence
within the reach of every one. 1t was not
always so. Catarrh has ragged fiercely
through the years like firebrand, and in
the eagerness to quench it many USE
less things were given out as cures, but
it remains now, after the slow process
Of experimentation and discovery, to
offer the positive real cure, which has
been born of ceaseless searching and
common sense.

1t must be true. There are heart-stories
from all over the land that bubble up
