uake shift Remedies Are
Absolutely Worthless

Don't thiuk lightly of Ca
tarrh. Do not make the mis-
take of believing that it is
merely an aggravated bad
cold. Truly, this trouble usu-
ally starts with what is ap-
parently a cold in the head,
but beware Of any cold that
"hangs on" You may as well
realize at the outset that Ca
tarrh is a serious disease and
one that should not be trifled
with. In fact, in many in
stances it is a forerunner of
the most dreaded of all dis
eases-consumption.
Catarrh has become almost
a universal ailment among
the American people. Almost
everywhere, in theatres, cars,
and on the streets, there is a
constant shifting and hawk
ing, for there is bound to be
someone in almost every place
who is afflicted with catarrh.
And everyone is a possible vic
tim, for the germs of the dis
ease are easily communicated
from one person to another.
SO many people afflicted
with this disease have been
unable to find a cure, although
they have taken many differ
ent kinds of treatment for
years, until now they are al
most willing to believe the dis
ease is incurable. Like every
thing else, to find relief from
this disease, the proper treat
ment must be resorted to. No
other kind can be expected to
do any good.
Read what Mr.. c. f. Ven
alta, of New Kensington, Pa,
has to say about his Catarrh:
II have used s. 3 =. in my
family, and know what IL Ia.
and have recommended II 10 my
friends. Some years ago had
cstsrrh In my head. and after
using other remedies without
results. which only seemed 10

phia, reporting for the committee on
national legislation at the opening
session of the National Real Estate
Boards here today said rent profit
eering would never be suppressed

occurs the rent profiteering landyord

will be summed ,as an enemy Of the
