But You Can't Rely On
Sprays and Inhalers

There is no use permitting
yourself to be deceived. Per-
haps, like thousands of Others
afflicted with Catarrh, you are
about ready to believe that the
disease is incurable, and that
you arc doomed to spend the re-
mainder of your days hawking
and splitting, with no relief in
sight from inflamed and stop
ped-up air passages that make
the days miserable and the
nights sleepless.
Of course this all depends
upon whether or not you are
willing to continue the old-time,
make-shift methods of treatment
that you and many other suf-
ferers have used for years with
no substantial results. If you
are still content to depend upon
the use of sprays, douches, in
halers, jellies and other like
remedies by themselves, that are
applied to the surface and can
not reach below it, then make
up your mind now that your Ca
tarrh will remain a life com
panion and will follow you to
the grave.
You must realize that the
disease itself, and not its symp-
toms, is what you have to cure.
Of course you know that when
your are cured of any disease its
symptoms will disappear. Ca
tarrh manifests itself by inflam-
nation of the delicate mem
branes of the nose and air pass
ages, which choke up and make
breathing very difficult. To get
rid of these distressing effects
YOU must remove their cause.

thodical artillery preparation.
Fire was opened on the morning
of May IL along the whole line from
Tolmino to the sea. 1t was main
tanned with a regularly quickened
rhythm until the morning of May IA
when it was intensified to a power
ful drumfire.
During the first part of the bonn
oardment the enemy reacted but
feebly. 1t seemed as though the
Austrians had been taken by sur
prise, but their reply was more vigor-
Gus on May 13 and extremely violent
on the morning of the 14th. Aus
trian batteries then opened q heavy
curtain fire, pouring thousands of
projectiles on the trenches in the
Italian line.
Infantry Move Forward
"Undeterred by this tempest of fire
the Italian infantry towards noon
leaped over the parapets and dashed
resolutely forward towards the OBJ
jectives previously assigned. These
positions were almost all difficult
ones and some of them hitherto had
been regarded as impregnable; such
for instance, as the heights on the
left bank of the Isonzo from PLAYA
to Salcano pass. The steep slopes,
covered with rocks end dotted here
and there with thick clumps of
brush constituted a formidable OBJ
stacle to an infantry advance. Sue
cessive and offensive material, were
defended by seasoned troops and pro-
tected by batteries placed so as to
flank attackers with their fire.
Notwithstanding these conditions
the Italian infantry advanced and
still continues to advance. Valuable
positions have been won and prison
ers are flowing into our concentra-
ton camps.
Our aviators co-operated with
great effect by bold and ceaseless re-
connaisances, by skilful regulation of
the artillery fire and bombardment

liant combats with Austrian air.

KAISER MAKES MOST
OF DECENTRALIZATION



The extraordinary measures taken
by the German censorship to pre-
vent the outside world from learn
ing conditions in the empire have
been largely successful, but some
facts could not be concealed. Pos
slbly for the first time in history
revolution and a German republic
have been openly talked about in
the Reichstag and most significant
of all apparently the authorities do
not dare to check the growing au-
dacity of the radicals; in fact the
pressure of the malcontents has be-
come so great as 70 force the gov
ernment to hastily withdraw it's re-
| fusal to permit radical socialist dele
gates to attend the international So
cialist conference at Stockholm.
Germany Needs Food
The food situation in Germany
also appears to be, growing more
steadily worse and alarm is express
ed in various quarters that the avail
able supply will not suffice to feed
the nation until the next harvest.
The effusive promises with which
the administration checked the May
day strike agitation have proved
hollow and there are complaints that
the attempt to substitute meat for
bread is seriously diminishing the
country's stock of milk animals.
Apart from France the only news
of Importance in the war regions
comes from the Italian front. Gen
eral Cadorna has opened an offensive
on the Isonzo line but the reports
from Vienna and Rome are diametri-
cally opposed as to the initial re-
suits. The Italians have made some
gains in the direction of Triest but
it is too early as yet to judge how
the operation will develop.
Fighting in France
on the front in France the hard
fighting has been confined to- the
Bullecourt sector and the region
north OF the Scarpe in the Arras
battle area and to a strip about two
| and one-half miles in length on the
western end of the Aisne front.
Correspondents dispatches from
1.-THE Bullecourt region report General
Haig's troops as having reclaimed
virtually all the ground they had
( lost within the confines of the ruin
ed village and to have established
new posts west of Bullecourt. AS to
the fighting north of Scarpe. which
the British press bureau reports as
| severe in character, there is nothing
in the official account to give a clue
! to its definite import or the way il
| is trending.
A new German attack on the
! French lines was delivered along a
| four-kilometer stretch in the re-
! gion of the LaffauX mill, where the
! French front bends northward west
! of the Chemin- des- plateau
| The French positions here were
/ maintained in spite of repeated pow
erful assaults by the Crown Princes
! troops.

CATARRH IS
NOT INCURABLE

"I suffered for long time With

able. | read one of your adver-
medical department. Under the
direction of your physician took
S. s. 5. and was completely cured;
and unhesitatingly recommend
this great remedy to everyone
afflicted with Catarrh."
The experience of Mrs. Wes-
serman was like that of thous-
ands of others who have tried
local remedies i'll 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 Ca
tarrh germs, which direct their
attack against the tender and
delicate membranes of the nose
and throat. These germs cam
not 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 for
est, which combat promptly
any disease germs or impuri-
ties in the blood. This great
remedy has been used for moro
than fifty years, with most sat-
isfactory results. 1t has been
successfully used by those af-
flicted with even the severest
cases of Catarrh, because il
drives out from the blood the
Catarrh germs, and eliminates
every foreign substance from
the blood. S. S. S. is sold by
druggists everywhere.
For the benefit of those af-
flicted with Catarrh or other
blood diseases, we maintain a

diseases. If you will write us
