ANOTHER GOOD ONE WON.
The Kedi Are Downed Again by Oar Gllt
Edged Sluggers.
Onr local baseball sluggers are certainly
giving the public to understand that they
can put up a gen
uine article in
their business
more than one day
& week. They con
tinued their gilt
edged work and,
therefore, victori
ous march yester
day against the
Beds. And what
a splendid
game it was. Jt
was bright, lively
and full of vim
and ginger from
the start. .Not an
unpleasant word
marred the pleasure of seeing it, and it was
characterized by some of the most brilliant
playing on both sides ever seen in this city.
To be sure, Arlie Latham helped to keep
everybody in good humor now and then,
but nobody attempted to play any tricks on
Umpire Lynch. He is a personage who
will not tolerate any nonsense, and as a re
sult the argument was over in an hour and
15 minutes.
Lots of Fine Ball Flaying.
The time was short, no doubt, but in that
brief period the 1,320 people saw baseball
playing that tickled them and made them
clap their hands and stamp their feet. The
home team were winning, and the crowd
could well afford to applaud the good plays
of the visitors. And the latter deserved
the applause.
As far as the home team were concerned
there were two bright particular stars. Of
course, the entire team crowned themselves
with glory, but the work of Charley Far
rell, who "was a veritable duke yesterday,
and Joe Kelly, certainly a king, was
far beyond " the ordinary. Kelly
shone, not so much for his fielding he
hadn't much that was difficult in that line
but he was the king because of his hitting.
His glorious crack in the third inning1 was
just as timely and effective as if it had been
made to order. He brought in two runs by
the hit, and that settled all hope of victory
lor the visitors. Joe really was the only
home player who could find Ehines meas
ure. But Farrell's fielding was what sent the
crowd wild with enthusiasm. The Duke
moved about that third bag with the speed
ot an electric spark, and nabbed base hits in
a way that made the visitors feel very weary
of baseball lite. The Duke's particular vic
tim was "Biddy" McPhee.
Fun-ell Had a Victim.
Twice "Biddy" aimed a corker down tne
left line for two or three bags and twice did
the Duke nail them and throw the "widow"
out at first. Xo better fielding was ever
seen on a ball field, and McPhee had every
cause to feel tired of his life.
And at another stage McPhee aimed a
ball to the left fence. Everybody thought
that it would go there, and nobody was
more certain on this point than "Biddy"
himself. Bat it didn't. Elmer Smith, who
is astonishing everybody nowadays by his
remarkable fielding, set sail for the ball
and, sure enough, nabbed it Oh! but that
was tough on poor "Biddy."
The visitors were also in the game. "Bug"
Holliday at one stage made everybody get
off their seats by running and catching a fly
from Mack's bat. It was a wonderful catch.
George Smith, "Welch and Comiskev caused
cheers by their extremely good work.
The Pitchers Were In Form.
And the two pitchers had the toughest
battle of all. They pitched for all they
were worth, but fortune was on the side of
Ehret, He was a terror no doubt, and so
was Billv Khines, but that third inning
scttled"Villiam's chances. Altogether the
contest was one of the most entertaining
kind, and those who did not see it missed a
baseball treat.
The visitors went first to bat and scored a
run, their only one in the first inning. Mc
Phee led off and sent a terrific grounder to
Farrell. Had it got away there were two
bases for McPhee sure, but Farrell
stopped it and then picked up
the ball, and by a splendid
throw retired McPhee at first. "Welch then
lined a hot single to left and stole second,
aided by a passed ball. Mr. Latham struck
out and Holliday got a square thump at the
ball, makinga long single to left, and:Wclch
tallied. Never again did the Keds look
like scoring.
In the second inning Kelly made a hit
between Latham and shortstop. Smith
could probably have gotten the ball, but
Latham tried i'or it and merely touched it,
sending it to left field. Kelly stole
second on a passed ball, got to third on
Beckley's sacrifice and scored on the sacri
fice of Mack.
Tlie Sluggers Started to Score.
In the second inning Farrell led ofi for
the home players and reached first on balls.
Ehret made a scratch infield hit by Comiskey
hesitating about w hethcr to throw theball to
second or not. Miller forced- Ehret out at
second, Farrell going to third. Donovan
made a single and Farrell scored, Miller
going to second. Smith's sacrifice sent the
runners each a base onward and then Kelly
loomed up and whacked out a single to
right center, scoring the two runs.
The remainder of the game was simply a
great exhibition of first-class pitching and
the most brilliant fielding on both sides.

and third games ot baseball between the
Van Buren Browns and the Ft. Smitli Ma
roons for a purse of $1,000 witn tho State
championship came off to.day nt Pine Bluff.
The first contest was won this morning by
the Tan Burens. It was the finest exhibition
of baseball ever witnessed in Arkansas.
Twelve Innings were played. AH the runs
were made in the Jat inning. The game
abounded In brillinnt plays and heavv bat
ting. At the end of this irnme each club had
won one each, the Ft. Smiths having de
feated the Van Burens Monday. This after
noon another larae throng visited the pnrk
to witness the lust and deciding game. The
greatest excitement prevailed and at one
time It looked as if serious trouble would
arise between the players. The umpires
bad an exceedingly hard task to perform,
almost overv decision being received with
hisses and shout of disapproval. Ft. Smith
won by n score of 3 to 2, thus winning the
State championship. Haw ley, the pitcher of
the Maroons, leaves to-morrow forSt. Loul.
He has signed to pitch for the Browns of
that city.

A Favorite: The bet Is a draw.
GroRGE Smith is still a great shortstop.
Ester Is sick, and either G umber t or Terry may
pitch to-day. '
And that was a great game at Exposition Park
yesterday afternoon.
It was pretty tough on BlUy Bhlnes to pitch so
well yestercay aud lose.
All the local players are performing In cham
pionship form Just now.
FIVE straight. That's the way to do it. A win
to-day will make It a half dozen.
Charley Fabrell was certainly the Duke of
Marlboro and Allegheny yesterday.
Boston still needs a good catcher. Bennett and
Ganzrl are still on the disabled list, and Mike
Kelly Is bruised about the legs.
Or all the contemptible things in basball thero is
nothing worse than to take a nine off a field on
account of dissatisfaction with the decisions of au
umpire.
Andy Moran Is about the best fielding first bae
ruan In the New England League. He is hitting
strongly and running bases "out of sight" with
the Brocktons.
IP It werp left to Boston crowds whether bunting
and sacrificing should be abolished or no, it would
be safe to say that both of these features would be
retained In baseball by a large majority.
The Wllklnsbcrg A. A, has arranged for a
double bill at Athletic Park to-day or more than
usual Interest. The W. A. A.'s have been playing
excellent ball lately, and when they meet the Ta
ren turns aud Etst End Gyms to-day there will be a
struggle.
PrrcnEB Stein, of Brooklyn, promises to be one
of the leading twlrlers In the League under Dai
lev's clever coaching. He has good speed and fine
command of the ball. He Is also becoming au adept
at the quick delivery which has made Haddock
famous in all the League cities. Anson would give
a good deal If he had his pitcher on his pay roll
now.
Umpire McQuaid speaks of nawkc. the sensa
tioual vonntr pitcher of St. Louis, In terms of high
est praise. He reminds lne," said Mr. Mac, "to
a certain extent of young Sharrott, the much
talked or amateur who was with New York last
season. Hawke's most deceptive ball Is his drop
curve, which he utilizes frequently. This was also
bharrotl's strong point."
Notes of the Amateurs.
The Latrobe tennis tournament will be finished
to-aay.
A NUMBER of tl-e East End Gyms' athletes left
yesterday evening for Cleveland to take part In the
field meeting there to-day.
Ladies' day at East End Gym Park was ob
served yesterday alternoon. A number of close
aud interesting sets were played.
The courts orthe Pittsburg Tennis Club will be
full this afternoon. Practice games for the coming
tournaments are the principal events to take place.
THE Hilltops and Jcannettes play to-day at
Bailey ParK. Quite a large crowd will be present
to see Cowan, the crack pitcher of the visiting
club, perform.
TnE East End Gym Beserves will play the Law
Students at Gym Park, on Larimer avenue,' East
End. this afternoon. The Gym Jteserves have
been playing, a strong game of late, having de
feated the County League "team with Blnehart In
the box by a score of 4 to 2. The Students are also
putting up a good game, and a close and exciting
contest is expected. The Gyms will try Dunn in
the box, and If. as expected, he la. successful, ke
will twirl for the County League team In the
future.
GIANTS IN TRAINING.
Hott Sullivan and CorbettAre Pre
paring for Their Battle.
THE CHAMHON. WORKS HARDEE,
While Eli Biff Antagonist Takes It More
Easily and Diets Less.
BOTH AKE IN TBE PINK OP CONDITION
New Tobk, Aug. 12. As the time when
the answer to the question, "Who shall be
champion of the world?" approaches, the
sporting fraternity devour every morsel of
gossip relating to the two giants who are
preparing for the battle. That it will he a
battle of giants, a resume of the careful
preparation each man has undergone, the
hard work and self-denials .of these two
models of the fistic art, is apparent.
As Sullivan is of more mature years than
Corbett, is the champion and has had a
mors extended ring experience, his case
will naturally be considered first. No re
ports as to the big fellow's good condition
that have been received have been over
rated. He looks to be in great form, and,
barring a blistered heel, he is. The greatest
wonder to those who have seen him
within the last few days is what has be
come of the "corporation" which was so
noticeable even when he left for Bay Head.
It's gone; that's certain that is, the greater
portion ot it, and he now tips the beam at
210 pounds, the stipulated weight. He may
let up in his training now, and he deserves
a rest, for he has worked faithfully for his
reputation and the dollars of his backers.
The Programme of a Day.
One day's work may indicate all of the
days in training. The breakfast hour is 7
o'clock, two hours after he tosses oft the
bed covers and stretches himself into wake
fulness. Those two hours are spent in
walking walking over the rough but pict
uresque Shinnecock hills, accompanied by
Casey and Ashton. The party does about
ten miles before breakfast The blistered
heel interfered somewhat with the walks,,
however. He started away with a decided
limp, like a "spavined horse," he put it.
but the limp soon wore away, and ere long
he and Ashton were striding along at a
brisk cup.
Bag punching follows the morning meal,
and here is where the big fellow reduces
weight As he plays a ceaseless tattoo
upon the leather sphere the perspiration
streams off in chunks. For about 30 minutes
genetallv he does not give the bag a sec
ond's rest, now hitting it a series of quick,
light taps, then giving it such a powerful
smash as to almost send it crashing through
the ceiling.
Rope skipping is one of Sullivan's favorite
pastimes, and he can give cards and spades
to all the soubrettes and seriocomics'fn the
profession at the amusement. He went 549
times the othor day without a slip or pause,
now and then varying his step from both
feet together to a sort of Jig movement.
This exercise is for the less.
He Doesn't Mind Curious Crowds.
While Sullivan is bag pounding and rope
dancing in the barn back of Canoe Place
inn, people from the country around and
city people who come on yachts to see him
crowd in upon him, blocking up the door
and keeping out the air, but he does not
mind it He says it helps him to perspire
more freely. Sullivan's mode or entrance
and exit to the barn is by means of an iron
ladder, which he skips up and down like a
sailor.
After he has been soused with several
buckets of water, been rubbed down,
anointed with witch hazel, fed and told a
few stories, he takes another Jaunt across
the country, and on his return tosses a huge
ball called a medlclneball, probably because
medicine is superfluous when it is used.
This latter instrument Is a leather-covered
sphere weighing several pounds and about a
foot through. Sullivan handles it as if it
were a tennis ball, throwing it overhead, be
tween his legs, alternating with each band
separately and then with both, and in all
imaginable ways. Another rubdown and it
is supper time.
Alter sufficient time has elapsed the party
goes down to Peconac Bay in a rowboat, and
John L takes his dally plunge. This is one
of the things he lives for. Hois an excellent
swimmer, and can claim undisputed su
periority over his rival in that respect.
The Champion's Mental Diversions.
By 8 o'clock It is as quiet about the quaint
old Long Island tavern as it is at 1 A. M. in
most places, and by 9:C0 the lights are all out
and everybody sleeps. His play, his book
and his telling stories are his principal men
tal diversions. The coming fight engrosses
him but little. To the foolish questions of
strangers as to what he thinks of the out
come he says wait until September 7: to any
body ho knows he has no hesitancy in say
ing lie will "whip Corbett fast."
After one has spent a day at Bay Bead he
comes away with the Impression that it's
"cinch" for Sullivan. You can't flgare it out
how he can lose. But a day spent In the
vicinity or Loch Arbour is apt to dispel that
impression somewhat. It depends, in a
measure, on which you see last who you will
think will win. Just as they think around
Bay Head that it's Sullivan's fight, so they
are firmly-convinced down in Jersey that
Corbett Is the man.
Corbett is confident that Sullivan w ill fall
before him. To a friend he said last night:
"I cannot see. bow I can bo beaten. I can
escape from my opponent's blows, and, be
ing agile on my feet, I can at the same time
get in some of my right-handers." And
then, concluding, he said:
Confident and Determined Upon Victory.
"Tell Mr. that I will be champion of
the world the next time he sees me." Cor
bett did not say this with any haughty pride
His manner and tone indicated the deter!
mination he has to win the fight.
It is three hours after Sullivan has been
out of bed that the former bank clerk be
stirs himself. Eight o'clock is his waking
hour. He says he sleeps that long because
he wants to. He has his own ideas of train
ing, und he follows them out. That they
must be beneficial one Is convinced byCor
bett's appearance. His eye is clear, his
every movement vigorous and supple. A
glance is all that is needed to refute the re-
Sort that he has not been taking care of
imself.
Corbett's training quarters are more aris
tocratic and exclusive than the champion's,
but not so secluded. However, neither ex
clusion nor seclusion has kept either place
from being overrun with curious people.
The stories that Corbett was overtond of
ladies' society got their origin Irom this
fact Asbury Park is a summer resort and
there are lots or women there. They flocked
around the pugilist's quarters, and as he did
not caio to drive them awny with a club
senseless -leports .were limited about that
Jim's gallantry was interfering with his
tialnlng. It was to nrevent any moie such
malicious tales that a high pine hoard fence
was built around the handball court and
barn where he works. -
, Corbett Is the Better Eater.
Corbett's breakfast is a'banquet compared
to Sullivan's. Dissipation has not rendered
his stomach touchy. Then, clad only in a
sleeveless Jersey, a pair of tennis tiousers
rusty-red shoes, a 'make-up which he seldom
varies, he reads his mail and then takes a
row on the little lake hard by. A swim in
the ocean, or raiuer a uatn in the ocean,
follows. James J. is a poor, a very poor
swimmer. "I love to fight the breakers," he
says.
Corbett's morning work Is light. The
laziest man in existence could not nictui e a
life more serene. - It is after lunch that the
work comes. He first tackles the pulley
machine, a torturesome device for strength
ening the wrist and forearm. After an ordl.
nary man has twisted on this arrangement
for half a dozen times the pain of continuing
is snch as to suggest tho modern torture of
stringing up by the thumbs.
Then comes Corbett's favorite indulgence
Anybody laboring under tho impression
that he is worrying over his coming battle
should see him playing at handball, to be
undeceived. He passes an hour at the came
and his hearty and ringing laughter can be
heard in Asbury Park half a mile away. He
ever, the exercise develops the muscles of
the back and stomach.
Host He Tackles the Big tsg.
So far, Corbett has been a big, strong,
good-natured fellow, with nothing particular
to worry him; but when he conies to do his
bag-punching, the man's whole demeanor
changes. Stripped of all but a pair of fight
ing trunks, and with a mind on the task be
fore him, he becomes a gladiator Indeed.
Determination is marked in the expression
of his face, and his eye gets brighter. For 40
minutes he sends the baU in every direc
tion, judging the distance to a nicety and
moving about on his feet as lightly and
gracefully as a panther. It is evident that
he can hit, too, for he finally lands a smash
on the ball that sends it flying loose liom
the stout rope that holds it. It is not until
he does the work that Corbett begins to per
spiro, which he does freelv, and before ho
gets through his pompadour has fallen
down.
Corbett is hard. He is not as hard as nails
or as bard as flint, but be is a man. The sen
sation of feeling his flesh is more like press
ing a piece or thick rubber than anything
else. It is hard and springy. No matter how
tiring the work, Corbett blows but little,
and, being even-winded, two or three respir
ations come from him. He seems to never
tire and wants to be constantly on the move.
While he is bag-punehing he grasps a pair of
small, dumb-bells. This, be says, tries his
arms more, so that when he has his bands up
in front of Sullivan in New Orleans they will
be lighter and stronger without the weights.

Sullivan, but at a somewhat different time.
Corbett will enter the ring at 183 pounds
and as fit to fight for the place be covets as
any man that ever stopped between the

says he is the strongest man he ever encoun

ahead and made a hard fight on the home
stretch, finishing only a length behind
Alvin.

AT BEIQHI0N BEACH.
Six Good Bacea Bnn on a Muddy Track,
the Favorites tTlnnlng.
New York, Aug. 12. Tho six races at
Brighton Beach were run off in prompt
style over a track that looked much worse
than it really was, for while on the surface
it was deep in mud there was a good hard
bottom underneath. The attandence was
fair, but hardly up to the standard. The
betting was very heavy, and tho favorites
captured all six laces. The bookmakers
disgorged a fair share of their profits on re
cent slaughters.
Tho opening event went to Bob Suther
land, who after getting away rather poorly
gradually made up the lost ground, and at
the finish won by two lengths. Ten 2-year-olds
made np the field in the second race,
several of the lot backed with stable money,
but when it came to the finish Podiga, the
lavorito, was the only one in it. winning
under a pull by six lengths. Jack Rose,
Alcalde and Common Sense were the only
starters in the third race. It was a good
contest, with the result in doubt up to the
very lat stride, where under Bergen's strong
riding Jack Rose won bv a head. Billy Lake
land's filly Crochet added another to her
list of victories by winning the fourth race
In good style.
The two-mile and a quarter race, which
was expected to prove the event of the day,
came very near to being a farce, as it was
Just a good big gallop for India Rubber, who
only had Long Dance, Mineral nnd George
W to beat, the two last named at the finish
being beaten nearly a furlong.
The judge's decision in the lat race was a
dead beat between Stone and Zampost, hut
not one in a hundred of those near the finish
but what gave Mary Stone first by a good
head. Summaries:
First race, five furlongs Bob Sutherland. 11 to 5.

SWIMMING BEC0KDS IN DISPUTE.
Philadelphia Clnb Officials Denounce the
Course of (he New York Contingent.
The newly made swimmingrecords for the
100 yards and tho'one mile distances created
by Arthur Thomas Konney at the recent
championship meeting of the Atlantic Asso
ciation will most likely, it is said, be the
subject of much contention before they aro
finally accepted or rejected. The Secretary
of the Atlantic Association forwarded the
claim for both records to the central body
in New York, and on receipt of the same
the dispute arose. William B. Curtis states
emphatically that he will not accept the
records, basing his objection on the analy
zation of the time and question as to
whether Konney favored with a cur
rent. A Philadelphia Swimming Club official
yesterday denounced the course pursued by
the New York contingent in the premises,
and said:
"Mr. Kennoy makes no claim for a quarter
or half mile record, but lor the full mile.
Five watches varied but a fraction of a sec
ond on the mile. Only one watch took the
intermediate distances, and when It is taken
into consideration that all the latter, except
the half mile, were purely guesswork, and
the watch was not held by nn official timer,
the analyzing of the time goes tor naught.
There i no question that Mr. Kenney broke
the world's record in as fair water as over a
swimming record has been made, and if the
conditions are similar on August 27, when
the leading amateurs of the country com
pete for the championship, Mr. Kenney will,
no doubt, repeat the penormance, and it is
our desire that Mr. Curtis be present and
witness the performance." t

M'CTJSKEE AND NTJTTALL.
The Two Champion Swimmers Slay Make a
Match to Swim.
Liverpool, England, Aug. 12. A swim
ming match will likely be arranged between
the American and English champions.
James L. McCusker, of Lowell, Mass., the
American one-mile champion, is here. He
came to England to size up Joey Nuttall,tbe
British wonder. McCusker said to-day:
"I think I will match Nuttall. He is a fast
swimmer, but he is not as fast as they say.
I think I could bent him in a one-mile lace
very handily. I came over here to see my
man and I have seen him. He did not, of
course, know tnat I was sizing him up. In
rough water Nuttall would bo no good. I
tninic Leavitt, oi uoscon. would ueat mm in
open water for a mile. If he would come to
America I might be able to swim him in
open water for as much as he would like to
swim for. The swimmers here are all bath
swimmers. I am more than ever convinced
that we have the best swimmers In the
world in America, and more than ever I
hope Nuttall will come out to the States
with two months' training in some of their
English baths. I would not shrink from
matching Nuttall at his own indoor style."

CATARRH JF SIM.
Poor Appetite, With Violent Pains
and Nausea After Eating.
A Case That Is of Interest to Everyone
Who Suffers From Indigestion Terrible
Sufferinc Nizht and Dy.
Do you eat well?
If so, you enjoy one of the greatest bless
ings ot life.
But how many people there are who never
know what it is toejnoyameal. The mora
the taste is pandered to the less tho appetite
manifests itself, 'instead, perhaps, there is
a decided revulsion and the food that one
must eat to keep the body alive is forced
into an unwilling stomach, only to cause in.
tense pain aud a sickening nausea.
Why is this Did you ever stop to con.
sider the reason? Drs. Copcland, Hall and
Byers have from timo to time in these
colnmns endeavored topolnt out the cause
of dyspepsia or disordered digestion, and
that their explanation is the correct one is
evidenced by the many cures their method
of treatment is producing every day.
Physiology teaches that the numeroua
glands of the stomach throw oat during
the 24 hoars 14 pints of gastric juice
almost two gallons with which to di
gest the food we eat. In chronic catarrh of
the stomach, the mucous lining of which 1
continuous with that oi the nose and throat,
the secreting glands become diseased and
depraved and do not fulfill their proper
function's, hence the food lies heavy la the
stomach and torments, Instead of being di
gested. Foul gases arise therefrom which
distend the stomach, causing weight, tight
ness, flatulence, bloating and discomfort
The heart and lungs are encroached udou bj
tho diaphragm, which impedes their natural
action, hence we have fluttering or palpita
tion, and in consequence of disturbed circu
lation and respiration coldness of extremi
ties, depression of spirits (nervousness),
feeble pulse, dizziness, shortness of breath,
hot ana cold flashes, etc., etc
A TYPICAL CASE.
The Many Distressing Symptoms Which
Follow Catarrh of the Stomach, To
gether With a Striking Example of the
Efficacy of the Treatment of Drs, Copo
land. Hall and Byers.
No one who has not suffered from catarrh
of the stomach can understand the terrible
condition to which that disease brings its
victim, nor can one read the following
statement and remain unconvinced ofths
fact that Drs. Copelnnd, Hall & Byers can
and do cure this trouble In all Its manifold
phnes.
Here, for instance, is the case of Mr.
Michael SclmCor, a mill worker, who resides
on Penn street, Mt. Oliver.
"X had catarrh or the stomach in its most
severe form, for two years. During all that
time it was 'impossible lor me to eat any
thing without experiencing terrible agony.
"I not only had no desire to eat, but the
sight of food made me ill, and I used to
starve myself rather than face the ordeal of
taking a meal. Especially was this the case
for breakfast.
Mr. Michael Shaffer, Penn Street, ML Oliver.
"The result was, that I grew weak and
emaciated, and was utterly unfit for the per
formance ot any duty. In fact,I did not core
to live.
"In addition to catarrh of the stomach I
had also catarrh or tho head nnd throat.
There was a continual buzzing nnd roaring
in my cars; my head and nose were stopped
up and my threat was so soro I could hnrdly
swallow. I had violent headaches and the
inflammation in my throat seemed to set my
wh"Ie head afire.
"I lost flesh and strength, and was slowly
wasting away. My sleep was disturbed by
horrid dreams, and I awoke In the morning
moro tired than going to bed.
At last I decided to try Drs. Copeland,
Hail and Byers. When I went to their office
1 was feeling very badly, indeed. I began
their treatment and now feel its if I had
never been sick a day. It seems wonderluL
Not only has the catarrh disappeared, but
my stomach na3 regained its former
strength nnd tone. I have an excellent ap
petite and relish my food, and can eat
heartily all the time without the slightest
discomfort. Eating has become once more
a delight. I have gained in weieht and
strength. I feel us well as I ever did. I am
delighted beyond measure ivith my rapid
improvement, and I heartily recommend
these specialists to all who may be suffering
as I was."
, Things to Be Remembered.
That catarrh isnot slmplva local affection
confined to the head, producing a discharge
of mucus ft om the nose and throat, with a
hawking and suitting to dislodge, but the
entire system Is fiequently affected by It.
That catarrh of tho nose causes trontal
headaches, more commonly known as
neuralgia, car ache, dizziness, n sense of
dullness or drowsiness, confusion of
thoughts, etc
That catarrh of the throat, bronchial
tuhos and lungs causes sore tb,roat, chronic
cough, hoarseness or entile loss of voice,
bronchitis, asthma, pneumonia, consump
tion, etc
That catarrh of tho stomach and bowels
causes dyspepsia, indigestion, heart-burn,
water-brash, nausea, fetid breath, palpita
tion of the heart, alternate constipation
and diarrhea, dropsy, liver complaint, jaun
dice, and by its irritating effects on the
lower bowels, also piles, fissure, fistula,
itchinir, etc.
That catarrh of the bladder causes dia
betes, Bright's disease, incontinence or re
tention of urine, scanty or too frequent,
etc.
That all skin and blood diseases, such as
eczema, hives, blotches, pimples, acne, llng
w'ortn, tetter, suit rheum, rheumatism,
scrofula, etc, etc., are either caused or
greatly aggravated by the catarrhal affec
tion causing an Impure state of the blood or
debilitated condition of the body.
That it is due to this widespread influence
of catarrh on thu general system that led
Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers to formulate
n system of treatment, both local ami inter
nal, and it is owing to this method of treat
ment that they are able to produce the great
number of absolute enres that they show.
It is also he reason of their extending tha
popular $5 rate of treatment to include ail
chronic diseases.
