blows upon his body. For this Mr.. Ham
melsLelu caused their arrest on a criminal
charge.
The next day there were two physical
collisions between the newspaper men and
Mr.. Arthur Hammerstein, who had been
challenged to a trial at fisticuffs by the
managing editor and had accepted the gage
as the champion of mis- father. The first
violent meeting took place outside the
police court at which the criminal charge
was to be tried; the second within it's
wallis. The laws of the State of New York
and the dignity of the tribunal had been
shockingly violated, but no punishment was
melted out The criminal causes and an
action for damages begun by the musical
critic of the newspaper drbbled along until
they were lost in the sands of time. And

It was no secret in January, 1907, among

failure of the drama was presaged by the
snail sale of seats for the representations
projected by Mr.. Conried and diligently

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 are 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 =
simple ailment.
If you have had tho 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 50 generally relied upon.
Others who have been afflicted with
Catarrh have used atomizers and
sprays, ointments, salves, jellies and
other local applications by tho whole.
sale, without making the slightest
progress toward q cure.
You are doomed to the same dissp-
pointment, if you rely upon the same
misdirected methods Of treating this
disease, for Catarrh is too stubborn
and deep-seated to be reached by|
medicated applications which are ap-
piled only to the surface.
