Catarrh Kills
Thinking Power
Gradual CloudinE OF the Brain and
Less OF Memory Inevitable Re
sulr Of Cnrmrrh


Catarrh anywhere in the head or
throat or ears is right next TO the
brain. The catarrh germ grows fast,
does an enormous amount Of damage
in its hurrOwInE into the bone and
flesh and is difficult TO destroy.
There are thousands Of little nerves
that run from all parts OF the face
and head TO the brain. Some OF these
little nerves have TO pass through
probably a mass OF catarrhal inflam-
nation on the road TO the brain.
When they do they are weakened.
and sometimes destroyed.
What affects the nerves is bound
TO affect the brain. and when the
tarrhal discharges there Is bound to
be a certain torpor or stupidity
brought about in the brain OF the
victim Thus follows sleeplessness.
inability to think clearly. or con-
meet ideas. loss OF memory. lack OF
concentration. lack Of presence OF
mind. and a wandering thought
When Il takes such a compare

and hrilliancy Of the normal brain.

Eminent Doctor
Says Blindness
Due to Catarrh

London, Aug. 6.-Dr H Manning
Fish OF Joliet. Ill. declared at the
medical congress that most Of the
blindness in the world is the result
Of catarrh IN the upper nasal cavi-
ties or the bouy cells composing the
roof Of the nOstrils.
DR.. Fish described his experience
IN thirty-siL cases. covering a period
Of several years. claiming that in
each OF these. immediate improve
ment Of the vision followed the ef-
1ective treatment OF the diseased
nasal cavities. and advised that in
cases OF loss OF vision following grip.
measles, scarlet fever and kindred
ailments. relief be sought through
treatment OF the noses of the patients.
Catarrh is caused by a germ which
must be destroyed before the ca
tarrh itself can be cured II not
cured. blindness may result. An ev-
tended history OF the many extraord-
mary cures effected by the Gauss
treatment will probably be brought
to the attention OF the next inter-
national meeting OF the medical con

No Man or Place Is Immune from

There is no part Of the land which
is free from catarrh. Attitudes and
ATTITUDES have little effect in de-

imagine that the climate Of the West.
with its high attitudes and dry at

There are just as many cases. in pro-
