But You Can't Rely on
Sprays and Inhalers

There is no use permitting yourself
to be deceived. Perhaps like thou
sands of others afflicted with Catarrh,
you are about ready to believe that
the disease is incurable and that you
are doomed to spend the remainder of
your days hawking and splitting, with
no relief in sight from inflamed and
stopped-up air passages that make the
days miserable and the nights sleep
less.
OF course this all depends upon
whether or not you are willing to con-
tinue the old-tme, make-shift meth
ods of treatment that you and many
other sufferers have used for years
with no substantial results. If you are
s6ll content to depend upon the use
of sprays. douches, inhaler, jelies
and other like remedies kr> them
selves, that are applied to tb' surface
and cannot reach below it, Il N make
up your mind now that yom Catarrh
viii remain a life companion and will
follow you to the grave.
You must realize that the disease
itself. and not its symptoms, Is what
you have to cure. Of course you
know that when you are cured of any
disease its symptoms will disappear.
Catarrh manifests itself by inflamma-
ton of the delicate membranes of the
nose and air passages, which choke up
and make breathing very difficult. To
get rid of these distressing effects you
must remove their cause.
Mrs. M. S. Wesseman, of 400
Clark St. St. Charles. Mo-. tells of her
experience in the following words:

great remedy to every one afflicted
with Catarrh."
The experience of Mrs. Wesserman
was like that of thousands of others
who have tried local remedies in vain.
She claims that she was finally cured
by S. S. S. because she realized that
Catarrh is a blood disease, and the
only sensible treatment is through the
blood. The blood is laden with the
Catarh germs, which direct their at
tack against the tender and delicate
membranes of the nose and throat.
These germs cannot be reached by
sprays or douches, which, of course,
have no effect whatever upon the
blood.
S. S. S. is a purely vegetable blood
remedy. made from roots and herbs
direct from the forest, which combat
promptly any disease germs or impuri-
ties in the blood. This great remedy
has been used for more than fifty
years, with most satisfactory results. 1t
has been successfully used by those
afflicted with even the severest cases
of Catarrh, because it drives out from
the blood the Catarrh germs, and elm
mates every foreign substance from
the blood. S. S. S. is sold by drug
gists everywhere.
For the benefit of those afflicted
with Catarh or other blood diseases,
we maintain a medical department in
charge of a specialist skilled in these
diseases. IF you will write US fully, he
vii give your case careful study, and
write you just what your own individ-
ual case requires. No charge is made
for this service. Address Swift Spe-
cific Co., 81 Swift Laboratory, At

Mr.. Lands Fears Libraries
Will Not Be Ready For
Guardsmen in Time


George B. Lands. general educa-
tional secretary Of the State Y. NJ. c.
A. has just returned from the train
ing camps at Augusta. Ga. where he
has been since July preparing the
Y. NJ. c. A. buildings for the coming

Each building will be about 4ox11s
feet and will be equipped with cor
respondence material, piano, VIC
trola, and moving picture machine.
There will be libraries in the build
ings with books donated by the peo-
pie of the country. Moving picture
shows will be given two nights a
week. One night will be amateur
night when n vaudeville show will
be given by the troopers. A night
will be given to reiIgious meetings.
Lectures will be given also.
Mr. Lands stated that he was
fearful that the libraries could not
be completed until the Pennsylvania
boys arrive there. He also urges the
people to send their books as soon
as possible to the local Y. NJ. C. A.
so that they can be boxed and ship
ped to the camp. Books of travel.

No Thought OF Return
When interviewed, Shoemaker did
not express regret that he had taken
the money, and at no time during
the time that the money was secret
ed in the cellar of the building at
S13 North Second street did he have
any thought of returning the bills to
his employers. His one fear during
those days was that some of the
other employees, with whom he had
ly terms, might be accused of the
theft. 1t was this thought that final
ly induced him to destroy the evil
dence.
Mind at Ease
Shoemaker is fine looking
man of slight build and his nervous
actions indicate the great strain he
has labored under during the past
three weeks while in hiding. AL
though 38 years old, he looks much
younger. There are number of
persons in this section who claim
they remember him as boy of less
than twenty, when he was enrolled
at Dickinson Law School, Carlisle.
Shoemaker exhibits many signs of
culture, and expressed concern that
his father and friends in Northum-
berland county would learn of his
downfall
The former clerk expects to plead
guilty at the first opportunity, and
feels a contentment since making
the confession that he has not expert
enced in weeks, he says.
