COLD IN
THE HEAD
Is The First Chapter In the History
of Chronic Disease.

A cold in the head is the first chap
ter in the history of disease and death.
This has been so often repeated that
there are few people indeed who have
not witnessed many examples of it.
A cold In the head is rarely ssFere
enough &c oonfine a vigorous person
to the house. As a rule, IL ends in
recovery without any treatment. This
has led many people to regard a cold
IN the head as of no importance. II is
terrible mistake, however, to pass
by cold in the head as a trivial mat
ter. Every case should be treated.
Those who have used Peruna for
such cases win testify unanimously
that a few doses is sufficient to re-
move every yestige of the cold How
much better it is to treat a cold in this
way than it is to allow it to go on and
on for weeks, perhaps months, leaving
effects that will never be eradicated.
Yet there are those who neglect to
take Peruna for cold In the head.
This neglect is due to the false notion
that cold in the head is hardly worth
noticing.
A cold in the head is in reality a
case OF acute catarrh. 1t ought to be
called SO, in order to awaken people
from their lethargy on this subject. In
large per cent. of cases cold in the
head will end in chronic catarrh. IN
less properly treated with some such
remedy as Peruna, perhaps so per
cent. of cases of cold in the head will
lay the foundation for chronic catarrh.
A tablespoonful of Peruna should be
taken at the very first symptom of
cold in the head Usually where the
cold is not very severe a tables spoonful
of Peruna before each meal ard at bed
time is sufficient. 1t may be neces-
sary, however, where tho attack is
more serious, to keen strictly in the
house and take a tablespo. nful of
Peruha every hour. Younger people,
feeble or delicate women, should take
a teaspoonful every hour.

DEAF MISS FAIRFAx.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX.
am II and in love with a
young man two years my senior.
We are both employed in the same
place, and he usually takes me
home and to lunch with him, and
always appeared to like me very
much.
He asked me for one of my sig
net rings, and I gave it to him,
and in return he gave me his ring.
About two weeks ago I came in
and he didn't bother to say good
morning" and seemed cool toward
me all day. Now he doesn't even
pay attention to me when I pass
his desk. Do you think ought to
ask him for my ring? SORRY.
Get your ring and never again make
such an exchange unless a marriage
engagement warrants 1t.

1t did not ring true. Kitty herself
knew that 1T didn't ring true. but she
was convinced now that Dick was
right-that "the kid was simp and

this bit of play acting of outraged
