ANNOYING-
DANGEROUS
CATARRH
Cfttarrh is usually regarded as nothing more serious than a bad cold or
•light 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 head, but when the poisons, which are thrown off through the
secretions, find their way into the blood, it becomes a constitutional trouble
that affects 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
the unhealthy secretions to be ab
sorbed by the blood. When the blood
becomes diseased with this catarrhal
Several years ayo my blood was bad
and I bad in addition a dreadful case of
Catarrh. My nose was stopped up, I
had headaches, ringing: noises in my
ears and felt unfit for work. I com
menced the use of S. S. S. on the recom
mendation of a friend, and in a short
time it cured me sound and well. It put
my blood in good condition and I have
never had the slightest return of the
Catarrh since that time.

matter all kinds of complications 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 begin to heal, the dis
charges cease, the general condition of
^ -v the system is strengthened, everyone
. of the annoying and disgusting symp
toms pass away, and the patient is left
in perfect health. S. S. S. is the best
remedy for Catarrh. It goes right into
the blood and removes all effete matter
and catarrhal poison and cures the dis
ease permanently, and at the same time builds up the entire system by its fine
tonic efteet. S. S. S. is a purely vegetable remedy—non-injurious to the sys
tem and a certain, reliable cure for Catarrh. Catarrh sufferers will find our

ti Is Expected that a Ship Will Be
Sent to Riga, But Its Distance from
St. Petersburg Would Be of Little
Value.
Chicago, Dec. 27.—A dspateh to the
Trbune from Washington, D. C., says:
Because of the serious situation in
Russia, Secretary Root has requtsteu
the navy department to take measures
for the protection of American citi
zens in St. Petersburg.
The state department was informed
by the secretary of the navy that, un
fortunately, there is no vessel in Euro
pean waters which can be sent to St.
Petersburg before navigation is inter
rupted.
It is expected, however, that a ship
will be sent to Europe, certainly to
Riga, which is not frozen up. But
as Riga is some distance from St. Pe
tersburg, a warship at that point would
be of little value. In case of extreme
danger, it is expected Secretary Root
will ask the good offices of the Swe
dish or French government to give
what assistance it can to Americans.

—An inspired statement hi the Clo
vo today the government expects the
revolt at Moscow to be completely

number available to cope with the in
eurgents over the wide area of the dis
turbance. Fresh troops have now ar.
