cold aggravates nasal catarrh, and the

catarrh when the cold subsidies is
wrong because it continues to slowly

TO correct Catarrh, cleanse the nos

Where does he get it, or who has
given him authority TO take the ex-

and hand down the decree. "Truly this
is evidence of reversion of the race
to barbarismg' How absurd It is
