FIRST STAGE OF CATARRH
A Serious Mistake Which
Thousands are Making.
The first stage of catarrh is what Is
commonly known as "catching cold."
It may be in the head, nose, throat
or lungs. Its beginning is sometimes
so severe as to cause a chill and con
siderable fever, or it may be so slight
as to not hinder a person from his
usual business. In perhaps a major
ity of cases little or no attention is
paid to the first stage of catarrh, and
hence it is that nearly one-half of the
people have chronic1 catarrh in some
form.
To neglict a cold is to invite chron
ic catarrh. As soon as any one dis
covers the first symptoms of catching

Children during the teething period.
Right He Was.
A member of a Sunday school was
one day asking some children ques
tions an Bible knowledge. So far as
he had gone the children did very
well, but when he asked:
"Where does the word 'holy' first
occur In the Bible?" the children
could not answer for a minute or so,
till a sharp urchin stood up and said:
"Please, sir, on the cover."
Volcanoc
A thin, vapory smoke, lazily ascending
from its. crater may be the only visible sign
of life in the sleeping volcano, but within
is a raging sea of fire, molten rock and sul
phurous gases. Those who make their
homes in the peaceful valleys below know
the danger and, though frequently warned
by the rumblings and quakings, these
Eigns of impending eruption go unheeded.
They are living in fancied security when the giant awakes with deafening
roars and they are lost beneath a downpour of heated rock and scalding ashes.
Thousands of blood poises 6ufferers are living upon a sleeping volcano
and are taking desperate chances, for under the Mercury and Potash treat-
xnent the external symptoms of the
disease disappear, and the deluded
victim is happy in the belief of a
complete cure, but the fires of conta
gion have only been smothered in the
system, and as soon as these min
erals are left off will blaze up again.
Occasional sores break out in the
mouth, a red rash appears on the body,
and these warning symptoms, if not
heeded, are soon followed by fearful
eruptions, sores, copper colored
splotches, swollen glands, loss of hair
and other sickening symptoms.
Mercury and Potash not only fail
to cure blood poison, but cause Mer
curial Rheumatism, necrosis of the
bones, offensive ulcers and inflamma
tion of the Stomach and Bowels.
The use of S. S. S. i9 never followed by any bad results. It cures
without the slightest injury to the system. We offer $i,ooo.oo for proof

cold he should at once begin the
use of Peruna according to direc- ,
tlons on the bottle, and the cold is
sure to pass away without leaving
any bad effects.
Unless this is done the cold Is
almost sure to end In the second
stage of catarrh, which is making
so many lives miserable. If Pe
runa was taken every time one has
a cold or cough, chronic catarrh
would be practically an unknown
ease.
Miss Elizabeth Tiber. No. 57 Basset!
street, Albany, N. Y., writes:
"I have always dreaded unsettled
weather because of my extreme lia
bility to catch cold, when a catarrhnl
trouble would quickly develop through
my entire system which it would" take
weeks to drive away. I am thankful
to say that since I have taken PERU
NA I do not have any reason to dread
this anymore. If I have been at all
exposed to the damp, wet or cold
weather, 1 take a dose or two of
PERUNA, and it throws out any hint
of sickness from my system."' Miss Eliz

Mrs. M. J. Brink, No. 820 Michigan ave
nue. St. Joseph, Mich., writes:
"This past winter during the wet and
cold weather I caught a sudden and se
vere cold, which developed a catarrhal
condition through my entire system, and
so affected my general health that I
was completely broken down, and became
nervous and hysterical and unfit to su
pervise my home. My physician pre
scribed for me, but somehow his medi
cine did me no good. Reading of PE
RUNA I decided to try It. After I had
taken but three bottles I found myself
in tine health." Mrs. M. J. Brink.
Sibyl A. Hadley, 26 Main street, Hunt
ington, Ind writes: "Last winter after
getting my feet wet I began to cough,
which gradually grew worse until my
throat was sore and raw. Ordinary rem
edies did not help me and cough reme

Some Famous Dentists and Their Exper
ience With Tartars.
A tooth may be a Tartar, cr may
have tartar; in either case you are in a
bad way. If your tooth is a Tartar, it
will drive you to a dentist faBt euouiih
to play checkers on your coat tail. But
if it has tartar it will take you more
slowly but nevertheless surely, for
from having tartar to being a Tartar
ib not such a long journey. And when
you start you "cuss" that tooth at
every jump. "An ounce of prevention
is worth a pound of cure," and for the
prevention or cure of the trouble take
the safe journey to Wise Bros,, dentists,

have the painless method of fixing your
teeth, who will save you many a sleep
less night, and help you enjoy life by

Get busy and go now. The expense of
caring properly for the teeth now is
very moderate, and there is no pain
whatever. Even an entire set of new

the man as a last resort, but he was

show of Impatience. "Ilandilu' money,"
was the man's reply, and he smiled at
the look of disgust and Incredulity
which spread over the face of the man
he was talking to. "Yes, sir; I got all
these corns, and bunions, and knots,
and other rough things which you see
on my hands by handling money. You
see I work for the traction company,
and have to handle and sort all the
money of the company. It is awfully
hard on the bands. A great deal of the
money Is In small denominations and
we handle It In bags and packages of
various sizes. There Is so much of It
that a fellow's bands soon become bard

the knotty condition which you find
mine In at this time. You can bet that
handling money Is not the soft and vel
vety business It is generally supposed
to be. The association of soft white
hands with the business of handling
money Is dead -wrong, ond If any man
doubts what I say about It I simply

rough hands blew out as suddenly as

WORLD'S GAMBLING RECORD.
Among the many world records held
by this country at the present time Is
fliat of gambling. We are easily first
in this sinister accomplishment. It
crops out all over the country In the
street urchin, In the university youth,
In the clerk and the workman, In
society, In the family even (where
one night o week Is often set
apart for an "Innocent" little
game of poker); in the gambling
establishments which the law Is pow
crless to suppress, at the race tracks,
and, above all, In AVall street. It Is
safe to say that more gambling goes
on in Greater New York every day
than In any other community In the
world, not excepting the kingdom of
gambling, Monaco.
The dishonesty, corruption, and mis
ery entailed are stupendous and heart
rending to contemplate. At first sight
this incurable mania for gambling
with which we are afflicted seems a
heinous and unmixed evil. It Is bad
enough, in all conscience, and it -is
not our purpose to plead for It. But
ns madness Is often the result of some
fine finality or puwer becoming ex
cessive or going wrong, bo gambling
seems to be a d inclined form of a spirit
which has made the prosperity of
America the spirit of enterprise. In
fact, enterprise Is a sort of gambling.
A man engages his savings, his time,
his energy, In n scheme which he hopes
will yield him fivefold, tenfold, a hun
dredfold, but whose success Is ulmost as
problematical as the fall of a roulette
ball, the finish of a horse race, or the
fluctuation of the stock market.
The difference between gambling and
genuine enterprise Is that In the for
mer a man wages on pure hazard, of
ten pitting bis reason against n me
chanical thing that has nothing to
do with reason except to mock It,
wblle in the latter he bets on his own
power and resources. Gambling and
enterprise are both the expression of
an Intense ambition to get rich. And
as long as that ambition remains the
moving principle in American activity,
there will be this double expression of
it enterprise and gambling, the one
leading to prosperity, the other, more
often than not, to poverty nnil ruin
and all degradation. Harpers Weekly,
