OUT cATARRH

ing your catarrh is gone. The
FIRST touch of winter weather
will bring it back with all of its
discomforts.
The blood is laden with the
Catarrh germs. which direct their
attack 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.
Mild weather will aid the treat
ment and this is an excellent time
to thoroughly cleanse the blood
Of the germs Of Catarrh and be
forever nd of the troublesome
sprays and douches that can only
relieve you for the time.
S. S. S. is a purely vegetable
blood remedy. made from roots
and herbs direct from the for.
est. which combat promptly dis
ease germs or impurities in the
blood. This great remedy has
been used for more than fifty
years. with most satisfactory re-
suits. 1t has been successfully
used by those afflicted with even
the seyerest cases Of Catarrh. Il
relieves eatarrh thoroughly, for it
treats the disease at its source.
S. S. S. is sold by druggists
everywhere.
For the benefit of those af-
flicted with catarrh or other blood
diseases. we maintain a medical
department in charge Of a spe-
cialist skilled in these diseases.
If you will write US fully, he
will give your case careful study,
and write you just what your own

It May Not Be Troubling You
During the Warm Weather,
Bot 1t Is Still In Your Blood.

Catarrh is not only a disgust
ing disease, but is a dangerous
one. and you should never let
up In your efforts to get it out
Of your system until you have
done it thoroughly. Get nd Of
It. whatever it costs you in
trouble and money.
There is no use in permitting
yourself to be deceived. Perhaps.
Ike thousands of others afflicted
with Catarrh. you are about ready
to believe that the disease is IN
durable and that you are doomed
10 spend the remainder of your
days hawking and splitting. with
no relief in sight from infamed
and stopped-up air passages that
make the days miserable and the
nights sleepless.
OF eoorse this all depends upon
Whether or not you are Wiling
To- continue the old-time. make
shift methods of treatment that
you and many other sufferers
have used for years with no sub
stantial results.
You must realize that the dis
ease. itself. and not its symp-
fans. 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 In.
hammation of the delicate mem
brines. of the nose and AR pas
ssses. which choke up and make
breathing very difficult. To get
nd of these distressing effects you
mast remove their cause.

among the various units Of the
Italian army will have the most grati-

Pennella Is especially pleased with
baseball as an aid to training and
the maintenance Of the morale of the
