How Cataffh Is Contracted.

Mothers are sometimes so thought
less as to neglect the colds which
their children contract. The in
tlammation of the mucous MEM
brane, at first acute, becomes chronic
and the child has chronic catarrh, a
disease that is seldom cured and
that may prove life's burden.
Many persons who have this loath-
some disease will remember having
had frequent colds at the time it
was contracted. A little forethought'

Remedy judiciously used, and all
this trouble might have been avoid
