R- Poor Way
S "
To
Treat
No one would be so foolish as to kindle the fire on top
of a pot to make it boil, yet the treatment of Catarrh is often
just as senseless and illogical. Douches, sprays, ointments,
so-called tobacco cures, and various other applications, are
diligently used, but the little good accomplished is swept away
by the first breath of winter. When yon attempt to cure a .c-.s
constitutional disease one affectrnsr the entire systemwith "GV
purely local remedies, yon are applying the fire to the top of
the pot, yon are doctoring symptoms, and, like thousands of
others, get disappointing results. In Chronic Catarrh, the whole system becomes involved;
the" entire mucous membrane, or inner covering of the body, is in a state of high inflamma
tion. The pressure of blood upon the glands and cells produce excessive secretion of mucus,
much of which is absorbed into the blood and distributed to all parts of the body. Iu this
way the stomach, kidneys aud intestines are often seriously affected.
The noseY throat and ears are most frequently attacked by this foul disease, because
the mucous lining is exposed to the cold, damp air, which attracts the vitiated blood to the
surface, causing congestion of the little blood vessels and
glands, making breathing difficult and labored; the throat
becomes parched and dry; the hot, watery discharge from
the nose gradually changes to a yellowish color and
becoming more profuse and tenacious, drops back into the
throat, causing gagging and almost constant coughing to
dislodge it ; This offensive discharge, in spite of all pre
cautions, finds its way into the stomach, and extreme
nausea and an obstinate form of dvsoerjsia. follow.
Blinding headaches, neuralgia of the eyes and dizziness are ulso symptoms of th:?
disease, and when the inflammation reaches the delicate mechanism of the ear, hearing is lost,
and, as the blood becomes more deeply poisoned, the tissues and soft bones in the head are
eaten out, greatly disfijgnring the face. At this stage of Catarrh the breath becomes insi? frer
ably offensive. S. S. S. is the simplest and most effective treatment for Catarrh, ar.d vh.r.
taken into the circulation reaches all parts of the system and cleanses the blood of all
Catarrhal matter and restores it to a normal condition. When rich, new blood begins to now
through the veins, the obstructed glands and broken down cells resume their rntr.n!
functions, and the hot and inflamed
healing fluid that quickly' brings relief to the congested parts. S. S. S. puts the Liuuu w.
such perfect condition and so strengthens and invigorates the general health that the locii
mamiesiauons 01 tne disease gradually disappear, the .!;
charge from the nose ceases, the head clears, ...breathing
i becomes easy and natural, the appetite improves. a::c! a
penect and permanent cure is eflectcd.

OUR CANNED SALMON
PACKING IDEA ORIGINAT
ED AS EARLY AS 1830.
NatliunUl J. Wyetk First Real
ized the Importance of
1 the Iudiutry.
New England Grocer.
Canned 'salmon may not be an object
looked upon as an edible 'to quicken
the appetite or tickle the palate of a
gourmand, but as an article of com
merce It ocuples a very conspicuous
as well as Important place in the af
fections of trades in nearly every por
tion of the civilized globe
As an Industry, too, the gaudy-colored
tin of fl9b ranks high in the cen
sus report, and the amount of money
annually expended in wages In this
one article of commerce mounts into
the millions, and the armies of men
and women employed in catching-, cur
ing and preparing the fish for the
markets of the world form a large
proportion of the population in many
sections of the great Northwest,
All this may 'be commonplace
enough, but wtoen it Is known that to
the far-sighted enterprine, intrepid
daring, Indomnitable energy and un
conquerable perseverance of a Boston
man the industry owes its Inception,
birth and being', the facts assume con
siderable more importance :callyT Not
only was It a Boetonian who first saw
the . possibilities of the Northiwest
salmon fisheries, but It was 'Jue large
ly to the liberality of local investors
that the capital with which to de
velop them was secured.
Naithanlal J. Wyeth was the name
of the gentleman who first discerned
the importance that was llkelly to be
the lot of the Columbia river fisheries,
and It was as early certainly as 1830
that the plan of developing them had
been worked out In his brain. What
led him to the conclusion he reached
is hard at hard at this time to de
termine, since at that date very few
persons, and those members of strong
bands, made up of the hardiest arfd
most adventurous trappers, had made
the arduous Journey across the con
tinent? to the Pacific, )
It is to be supposed,' however, that
the Idea emanated from the. reports
brought back to civilization by the
survivors of John Jacob Astor's at
tempt, under the leadership of Lewis
and Clarke, to establish a trading post
twenty years previous to Mr. Wyetb'a
starting for the same place. These
reports dealt at great length and some
thoroughness with the almost Inex
haustible supply of salmon in those
waters, and the methods employed by
the Indians of the section in captur
ing them.
Be that as it may, however, an ex
pedition was organized here In Boston
by Mr. Wyeth, and in 1831 the start
for rhe Columbia was made. The head
of the adventure was totally Inex
perienced in plainscraft, nor was one
of the 11 persons whom he collected
about him a whit informed on such
matters than himself.
It was on his own resources entirely
that Mr. Wyeth fitted out the enter
prise, and later events showed that
Ms entire fortune was up Into the
scheme. The shrewdness of the man
Is at once seen when It is said that it
was part of his purpose to trade for
the fish with the Indians, and when he
and his party left St Louis, then an
important trading post on the remote
edge of civilization, In the summer
of 1831, numerous pack horses, each
heavily laden, formed a very pictur
esque feature of the cavalcade he commanded.
From this time on he encountered
many difficulties and hardships, the
latter of Euch magnitude as to be al
most Inconceivable in these dnys of
easy and luxurious travel. He had
gone as far only as Port Independence
when the first of these beset Mm In
the desertion of three of the advent
urous Bostonians whom he had enlist
ed. Their spirits weakened before the
real trails of the Journey had begun,
and they returned to the Bay State
metropolis, leaving Mr. Wyeth and his
eight companions to continue the
Journey to the coast
These pushed on into the wilderness.
traveling at times In the company of
bands of trappers and traders sent
out by the American or the Rocky
Mountain fur companies, and at other
times alone. Their experience of the
plains was a serious handicap, but
each member of the Intrepid band
was learning constantly, and they bad
not proceeded many weeks on the Jour
ney before most of the men, and par
ticularly the leader, were fairly well
developed plainsmen.
The most serious exploit of the en
tire Journey, however, was encount
ered while In the company of two
bands of trappers, representatives of
rival trading companies, and was due
to the cruelty of a member of one 'of
one of them, who wantonly slew a
Blackfoot Indian who'' was advancing
In' an apparently friendly manner.
This occurrence precipitated a battle
in which the Indians wore badly
worsted.
HOLDS THAT SnCITJH )S
N'OT VIOLATION OF LAW.
Philadelphia Judge Itules That a
Man's Life Is His Own and
Many Legally Be Taken.
PHILADELPHIA. Feb, 15,-Herbert
Wright of this city, has been arraign
ed before Judge Arnold on the charge
of taking laudanum with suicide In-
ttent Wright pleaded "guilty to at
tempting suicide, but not with Intent
o kill myself."
In dismissing the case Judge Arnold
said he doubted 1f there Is such an
offense In this country as attempting
suicide. The law emanated, he said,
from courts where there were kings
and emperors who adopted the theory
that It was wrong tor a man to kill
himself and thus reduce the number
of the king's subordinates. The
Judge asserted that man's life be
longed to himself and Ms Creator, and
he did not know but that the man had
the right, to kill himself If he so de-sired.

been fought a few days previously.
From this time until the coast was
reached Mr. Wyeth and his hardy
crew met with every hardship and dis
aster that adversi'y could suggest,
culminating when almost in sight of
the Journey's end In the loss of a
large portion of the trading stock
which had been carried- with such
care and at the expense of so large
a degree of energy from far-off Bos
ton. This calamity nappened while
voyaging down one of the mountain
waterways which flow from the moun
tains to the Pacific. Nothing daunt
ed, however, as much was saved as
possible to rescue and the travjlers
kept on, never losing sight of the one
great idea which had brought them
thither.
It was when the Columbia was
reached, however, that the Catastro
phe that was worse than all that .iad
gone before fell upon the gallant lead
er of the enterprise. Broken by hard
ships, worn by travel and well-nigh
ill from care, the daring Wyeth must
needs discover when the goal for
which he had risked life, endured un
told trials and staked a fortune had
been reached that the capital he had
invested was as good as thrown to
the four winds of heaven.
The goods and baubles from which
he hoped so much and which had been
guarded as a miser guards his gold,
over 3000 miles of territory were ut
terly worthless for the purpose for
which they were Intended. The Indi
ans did not want them and could not
be tempted Into bartering; for them.
This, It would appear, was thought to
ie the end of the enterprise, as Wyeth
and the seven members of his party
later turned up at Vancouver and at
that place the seven deserted. The
after tale probably shows that this
was the most fortunate thing that
could have happened to the leader,
since up to that time he seems to have
wandered about the country aimless
ly seeking anything that might come
his way, but thrown on his own re
sources the nature of the man at once
made itself manifest.
The same undaunted and undaunta
ble courage which led him in the first
place to undertake such a massive
and problematical enterprise, point
ed the way by which his fortunes
might be mended, and the Intrepidity
which had characterized him throug-

treasury were destroyed.
