But You Can't Rely on Sprays,
Lotions and Salves-Get on
the Right Treatment
at Once.

The very fact that Catarrh is
often considered to be nothing
more than bad head-cold or in
flammation of the membranes OF
the nose and throat has caused
many people to go through years
of suffering, who might have
been fully restored to health had
they realized that the supposed
cold in the head was not a local
trouble only, but that they had
become infected with the germs
of a complicated and dangerous
disease.
It is true that Catarrh usually
begins with a cold in the head,
and this supposed cold may have
been caused by infection through
proximity to infected persons in
a closed street car or room, inhal-
ing the germs when someone
coughed or sneezed; but, how
ever the infection occurs, the
poisons which are taken into
your system, ultimately find
their way into your blood and
the supposed cold becomes a con-
stitutional trouble that will
affect every part of your body.
The poisoned blood circulating
through your system will carry
these germs to the very source
of your vitality.
Look out for these symptoms
for there is no more annoying or
dangerous disease than Catarrh.
There's a continual discharge
from the nostrils, buzzing in the
ears that grows worse and worse,
sometimes leading to deafness,
scabs in the nostrils, headaches,
dripping in the throat, constant
hawking and splitting, and in
certain stages of the disease the
odor from the breath is very
offensive.
Catarrh is usually worse in

CONSCIENCE PERVERTED

When the preachers and church members in
Germany rejoice over the sinking of the Lust
tana and the diabolical outrages of the Huns
IFS a sure sign that there's something wrong
with their corsciences.
We've wondered why so-called Christian men
have gloated ever the destruction Of Red Cross
hospitals and ships containing wounded soldiers
and their nurses.
It's no worse to be "conscienceless'' than it is
to have conscience wrongly trained-so far as
practical results are concerned.
The conscience is safe moral guide only when
1t has been morally developed.
The mother who throws her child into the
alligator-nfested River Ganges in indian
order to please and worship God, although know
ing that her child will be eaten up, may have a
conscience but it hasn't been given the right
bent.
There is no natural inner influence in man
which is nfallible guide in his moral conduct.
Goodness and virtue are matters of training
and conquest of ones self.
The German preachers and church members
have been too long under the influence Of false
Philosophy of life to straight in this present
war. They have been taught that the kaiser is
the "All highest'-whch is rotten theology, to
say nothing about bad politics.
The kaiser is responsible for the terribly per-
verted conscences of the German people.
1t will require generation after the war-to
set the Germans straight on matters of common
morality and justice, and to knock out of them
the perfectly silly notion that they are super
men,,
This means in substance, that Germany will
have to develop new conscience.
