ANNOYING-
DANGEROUS
CATABfiH
Catarrh is usually regarded as nothing more serious than a bad cold or
Blight inflammation of the inner skin and tissues of the head and throat,
when it is, in fact, not only a vexatious and troublesome disease, but a com
plicated and dangerous one. It is true that Catarrh usually begins with a
cold in the bead, but when the poisons, which are thrown oS through the
secretions, find their way into the blood, it becomes a constitutional trouble
that afiects all parts of the body. It has more annoying and disgusting symp
toms than any other disease. There is a sickening and offensive discharge
from the nostrils, a constant buzzing noise in the ears, headaches and pains
in the eyes are frequent, while filthy, tenacious matter drops back into the
throat requiring continual hawking and spitting, and in certain stages of the
disease the breath has an odor that is very offensive. Catarrh is worse in
Winter, because the cold weather closes the pores and glands, and the pois
ons and unhealthy vapors which should pass off that way are thrown back
on the tender linings and tissues, causing the inflammation which starts

sorbed by the blood. When the blood
becomes diseased with this catarrhal
matter all kinds of com plications may
be looked for. As the blood circu
lates through the body the foul mat
ter finds its way into the stomach,
ruining the digestion and producing
chronic Dyspepsia, or Catarrh of the
stomach. It also affects the Kidneys,
Bladder and other members of the body, while the general health is weak
ened, appetite lost and the patient feels despondent and half sick all the time.
But worst of all, if the trouble is not checked the lungs become diseased from
the constant passage of poisoned blood through them, and Catarrh terminates
in Consumption, the most fatal of all diseases. You cannot get rid of Ca
tarrh by treating it with sprays, washes, inhalations, etc., because they only
reach the membranes and tissues, while the real cause of the trouble is in the
blood. These relieve the annoying symptoms for a time, but the poison is
all the while getting a stronger hold on the system and when they are left
off will manifest itself in worse form than before. S. S. S. is the greatest of
all blood purifiers, and when it has cleansed the blood, this pure, rich stream
circulates through the body, carrying healthful properties to the diseased
parts. Then the inflamed membranes and tissues ben in to heal, the dis

kites Brett Has Stopped Talkiaa; of
the Keulect of Others.
It was Sunday noon, and Miss Brett
had Just come out ol church. She was
unhappy. On other days her work
kept her busy, but on Sunday, even
though she went to church twice, there
were many hours left in which to re
member that she bad no home Aut a
boarding-house "fourth back." Eevn
at church it was not much better, for
she sat and envied the happy people
who came from homes '
"And not one of them all remembers
the hundreds of lonely women In board
ing houses," sbe thought, week after
week. There was no question about it
Miss Brett was growing better. ,
Sbe hurried, past the groups of
churchgoers to her boarding-house.
Sbe was in the mood when the long
climb up the dark stairway offered the
satisfaction of a tangible grievance.
Once sbe caught a glimpse of a woman
standing wearily by her window, look-
lug down into the row of city back
yards, and once the door of a hail bed
room was pushed to at the sound of
her footsteps; the pressure of other
lonely lives added to the burden of her
discontent
Then suddenly something happened.
"What are you doing about it your
self?"
The question came to her so clearly
that for a bewildered moment sbe
thought some one had spoken. Then
she pushed her door to and dropped
into the nearest chair.
"Well!" she ejaculated. Miss BieU
might be bitter, but no one ha'd ever
said that she was not honest Alone
and unflinchingly she faced the accusa
tlon. When, two hours later, she rose
and took off her bonnet she had en
tlrely forgotten her dinner the matter
was clear. .
"I'm a nice one to talk of others'
duties when there's that poor thing J,n
the hall bedroom next door who must
think my room a palace. I can't say
I like her looks, but probably she
doesn't like mine. If I'm going to
grumble I'll 'do it honestly, at any
rate."
There was a Jar of milk on the win
dow-sill and some crackers in the box
that served her for pantry ; also a box
of honey which some Impulse had made
her buy a week before. She arranged
them all upon her little table and then
knocked at her next neighbor's door.
"I wonder if you'd come and have
supper with me?" she said. "There's
nothing but crackers and m.',tk and
honey what we used to have at home
when I was a child but somehow I
wanted company."
The woman next door looked at her
her voice trembled. :
"Do you know that you were sent to
me?" she asked.
That was the beginning. Slowly oth-
came a girl with desperate eyes,
loss! Familiar.

How to Fool a Lazy Liver
with Artificial Exercise
, VERY serious Sickness has a
small beginning.
And, In nine cases out of
ten that small beginning Is
made in the Bowels.
Indigestion is the beginning of most
diseases. '
It paves the way for all others.
Lack of exercise, hasty eating, Improper
food, are its first causes.
Laziness, and postponement, permits it
to grow into Chronic Constipation, which
means life-long Discomfort.
It Isn't necessary to be slck-a-bed,you
know, in order to be mighty uncom
fortable. Even slight Indigestion affects the
. nerves, dulls the mind, and obscures the
merry sunshine of Life.
And, Indigestion once started, grows
fast, corrodes temperament, and discounts
happiness, good cheer, capacity.
It does that long before it puts you on
the Sick list.
Every thinking Doctor knows why.
Professor Rand knew It.
That's why he framed up for students
his famoys formula for Happiness, viz.:
"Trust In God, and keep your Bowels
open."
The Bowels need adjustment from time
to time, Just like a clock, or a watch.
No "Good time" is humanly possible
without this.
And, the time to adjust the watch Is ,
not when it has run down, nor when the
main spring Is broken, but at the very
minute adjustment is discovered necessary.
The time to adjust the Bowels Isnot
merely when your Head Aches, when your
Liver Is Sick, your Stomach in Revolt, and
Nature's Food Process retarded for 24
hours or longer. ,
) The proper time to adjust them is the
very minute you suspect they need adjust-msn
If your tongue is slightly coated
, If your breath Is under suspicion,
If your Head feels a trifle heavy or.
dull,
If digestion seems even a little slow,
If Heartburn, Belching, Colio or
Restlessness begin to show themselves,
That's the time to eat a Cascaret.
Don't Imagine the Cascaret Is ineffec
tive because it is pleasant to eat as Candy!
It acts as pleasantly as It tastes. It is
as congenial to your Bowels as it is to your
Palate. .
It Is not a "Bile-driver" which floods
out your stomach today with fluid juices
needed for tomorrow.
But, it acts like Exercise, instead.
It stimulates the muscular lining of the
Bowels and Intestines, so that they mechan
ically digest food and drive out the
waste. ' '
The time to use a Cascaret is when you
first suspect you need one.
, The only way to have them ready to
use precisely when you need them Is to
carry them constantly in your pocket, as
you do a Watch or a Lead pencil.
The ten cent box of Cascarets Is made
thin, flat, round-edged, and small, for this
precise purpose.
Be very careful to get the genuine,
made only by the Sterling Remedy Com
