Catarrh anywhere in the head or throat

catarrh germ grows fast, does an enor-
nous amount of damage in its burrowinS
into bone and flesh and is difficult to de-
stroy There are thousands of little
nerves that run from all parts of the face
and head to the brain. some of these lit
:, nerves have to pass through probably
a mass of catarrhal Inflammation on the
road to the brain When they do they
are weakened and sometimes destroyed
What affects the nerves is bound to az
feet the brain, and when the nerves are
deadcned by constant catarrhal ofs-
charges there is bound to be certain
torpO.. or stupidity brought about IN the
brain of the victim. Thus follows sleep
lcssness inability to think clearly OF 20
connect ideas, loss of memory. lack of con,
centration, lack of presence OF mlnd, anu
a wandering thought.
When it takes such comparatively
short time to cure this terrible disease by
the G uss common sense threatment, and
regain the flash and brilliancy of the
normal brain. there is no good reason

Plain language is the only thing to use
In trying to deal with such an affliction
as catarrh. The facts are plain. There is
a man, an able-bodied, robust, vigorous
business man. blessed with a paying bust
ness, a happy home and faithful wife,
suddenly stripped of all that makes life
worth living. with the love OF a true
woman mired in his own disease. Picture
to yourself what happens when a catarrh
victim comes home from work-the face
foul-breathed kiss. and almost dying of
the disgust engendered by his awful ca
tarrhal practices.

Terrible Consequences.
Every case of catarrh, or course. Is not
fatal. Nor does every case result in con-
sumption or bronchitis, but nevertheless
they are very frequent. No man or wo-
man knows what his or her case OF ca
arrh will lead to. Men of robust health
have succumbed to resulting consumption
and partial idiocy. Women of strong vi
tally have become nervous wrecks and
victims of bronchitis. Your good health
is not always preventive against the

but based on fearful reality.
Even slight cases OF catarrh may re-
suit in nose cancer, than which there is
hardly a more pitiful afliction 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 powers. death in 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 by disease which was
caused by catarrh. Medical books and
cyclopedias will tell you even more SER
ious news than we tell you here: probably
after reading them you will have a full
realization OF what it is to have catarrh.

Catarrh Everywhere
Even on Pixies Peak
No Man or Place Is Immune from the
Deadly CAfarFh Germ.

There is no part of the land which is
free from catarrh. Attitudes and lati-
tudes have little effect in destroying the
omnipresent germ. Many imagine that
the climate Of the West, with its high ale
titude 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 SO severe because of the
climatic effect upon the nerves.
