the villages, were of fine and delicate

Pershing himself is known to have
been dissatisfied at the aviation con-
tribution.
At the war department it was said
President Wilson had awaited the sec

feelings on the western struggle as one
of appreciation of the German menace,
coupled with confidence in the ultimate
turn of events towards the American

Deep-Seated Disease That Can.
not Be Reached by Local
Treatment

When you hawk and spit until you
almost strangle in an effort to get
your breath, because your air-pas-
'sages r all choked up with Catarrh,
and your condition grows worse from
day TO day, you are about ready to
realize that Catarrh is by no means a
simple ailment.
II you have had the disease for any
length of time, you have doubtless
used enough treatment to convince
you that you will not be able to find
any lasting relief from the remedies
that are so generally relied upon.
Others who have been afflicted with
Catarrh have used atomizers and
sprays. ointments, %salves, jellies and
other local applications by the whole
sale, without making the slightest
progress toward a cure.
You are doomed to the same disap-
pointment, if you rely upon the same
misdirected methods of treating this
disease. sfor Catarrh is too stubborn
and deep-seated to be reached by
indicated applications which are APP
piled only to the surface.
