With Germs of the
Disease

Every person afflicted with
Catarrh releases millions of the
tiny disease germs with every
cough or sneeze, so that when
ever on the street cars or street
or other public place you see Il
person afflicted with this dis
ease hawking and coughing and
sneezing, everyone in their vi
cinity is exposed to the disease.
You along with everyone else
will find yourself exposed to the
germs of Catarrh several times
every day. The germs multiply
by the millions, and the air you
breathe is thick with these tiny
Ilittle disease demons that cause
> so much distress and suffering.
Some people will readily re-
sist the disease, while others
will promptly succumb and
soon find themselves within its
relentless clutches. When ev-
eryone is equally exposed, it is
merely a matter OF keeping the
system in such a robust and
thoroughly healthy condition
that the germs of the disease
cannot find lodgment. You will
then be able to throw off the
attacks of the germs and escape
their efforts.
Catarrh is one OF the most
stubborn diseases, and is always
worse in cold, damp and dis
agreeable weather. 1t should
not, however, be considered in
durable, though there are thou
sands afflicted with it who are
doubtless. ready to believe that
a cure is impossible, because of
their experience.
But, like all other afflictions,
the main trouble is that Catarrh
is entirely misunderstood, and
therefore treated in the wrong
way. Because these little germ
demons attack the delicate
membranes OF the nose and
throat, choking up the air pas
sages and irritating the tender
lining of the nostrils and bron-
chial tubes, the average suffer
cr makes the mistake OF treat
ing merely the symptoms of
the disease, and overlooks its
cause.

TRIBUTE PAID
HERO'S MEMORY
Officers Write of Work Un-
der Fire of Late Edward
Weitmyer

The death of Edward Weitmyer,
well-known Harrisburger, on Au-
gust s, 1918, while in France with
the Hospital Detachment of the
One Hundred and Twelfth Regi-
ment, Twenty eighth Division,
came within n short time after his
injury, letters received by relatives
from comrades, tell. He was struck
over the heart by a piece of shrap-
nell one officer writes. AT first his
injury was not considered serious,
but he died before it was dressed.
The hospital detachment of which
he was a member arrived at Fismes
on the night of August Z, while the
place was being heavily lombard
ed. All night long they worked un-
der heavy shell fire, caring for the
wounded, getting them on ambu-
lances and taking them to the near
est hospital. At daybreak the enemy
ceased firing for a time, but after
a few hours the aid station, which
was about quarter of a mile from
Fismes, was directly shelled and
Weitmyer was injured and died
shortly thereafter. He was buried
by his comrades and the chaplain
the following day.
The highest tributes were paid to
unit and the chaplain. The lieuten-
ant wrote:
Edward was one of my most
valued men. During weeks of serv-
ice under shell fire he showed a
marked devotion to duty with a
fearlessness and willingness that
marks the true soldier. He render
ed me valuable assistance on July
IA when our battalion received a
severe bombardment.
The sergeant of the hospital de-
tachment wrote in behalf of the de-
tachment: I'VE extend our deepest
sympathy to the family of Edward
Weitmyer. We were honored by the
friendship and association of the
true hero which Edward proved
himself to be. He died on the front
line. With his bag of shelldressingS
in hand ready to, bind the wounds
of fallen comrade. he received a
mortal wound himself. He was
buried by his friends and COM
rades. Services were conducted by
the chaplain"
A letter received a few days age
from a comrade, states that Ed
ward was rendering first-aid to ;
wounded man when a shell burst
about thirty yards from him. He
was wounded by shrapnel," the
comrade writes. but as the wounds
were slight, it is supposed that the
concussion of the bursting shell was
the cause of his death.
I'VE are soon to return to the
States, but the greatest heroes are
the ones who will not return witt
us. We hope Pennsylvania will MOI
forget that. The ones who lie
buried here in France have made
it possible for the rest of us to re-
turn. How much we are indebted
to them we will never be able tc
realize, but we certainly will al
ways honor them and cherish their
memory"
