You Would Not Know They Had Ever Had Catarrh Two People—One in Evansville and One in Richmond Cured Long Ago, but Still Praise S. S. S. for What It Did for Them. Mr. J. R. Bellan, of 2122 OhalTln street, Richmond, Virginia, was cured of Catarrh several years ago and •wrote us recently: \°u would not know I had ever had Catarrh at all now. I know there is no remed) liko S P. Carr. of 209 E J , K ar street, Evansville, Indiana, like wise cured of Catarrh many years ago and he recently wrote us. lam well and alright and feel just fine. Still take from one to two bottles of 8.. o. S. each Spring for the Blood and I don't know anything better than S. S. S. I don't have any more pimples either. Am well and O. K. and still at work." A host of other people have been cured bv tlie same method,- purifying and strengthening their blood with S. S. S. and thereby enabling the Blood to drive out the Catarrh germs. Ca tarrh is a blood disease and to get rid of it permanently you have got to strengthen and purify your blood. The season for Catarrh is here. Look out for colds. Don't take any chances with bad air. Stay in the open air as much as possible. Sleep in the open, and keep your system up to par by taking S. S. S. Don't take chances with Catarrh. It is dangerous What many people believe to be the disease Catarrh, is really only a symp tom. The most common symptom of this disease in the system is an in flamed and tender condition of the breathing passages and the blocking of throat and nostrils with mucous. But this is only the symptom —■ the cause is deeper. The cause is in the Blood and to permanently rid your self of the disease take S. S. S. and purify your Blood. S. S. S. is a scientific blending of the extracts of certain native roots r.nd herbs which act directly on the blood. Its action is to cleanse and purify and strengthen the blood cor puscles so they fight off disease. S. S. S. contains no mineral in gredients and besides being the best blood purifier and builder is a won derful tonic. Write for our specially prepared booklet on Catarrh. Also write us for Medical advice.

SITUATION IN RUMANIA GROWS MORE CRITICAL Peril Imminent in Southwest Where Teutonic Enveloping j Move Nears Bucharest FLEEING FROM CAPITAL Government Reported Leaving For Jassv; Retreat Is Percipitated The sit'iation of the Rumanian ; armies defending Bucharest appears j ! Increasingly critical. | Only to the northwest of the capital ■ !do the Rumanian lines seem to be I holding at all firmly and even here ; Ithe capture of Curtea de Arges, on ' the Argenchu river, although that point is 80 miles distant from Buchar est, seems to indicate a weakening of the Rumanian resistance in this dl | rection. On the southwest the peril I jis imminent with the enveloping j I movement of the central powers plac- j j ing ther forces within 40 miles of the j I capital. News dispatches have re- I ported the Rumanian government j and diplomatic officials leaving Bu charest for Jass.v, 200 miles north east of the capital near the Russian j | frontier. | The rapid progress made by Gen- I eral Von Falkenhayn's armies mov- | j ing east in Rumania of course has j been largely made possible by the | j operation of the Danube forces under | j Field Marshal Von Mackensen. Flank- I 'ed out of the Alt valley position by j I the crossing of the river at Ztmnitza. ! i the Rumanian line along the Vedea j running diagonally northwest from! I the Danube, likewise is imperilled by the Teutonic occupation of Giurgiu, [an advance from which would quick ly compel a Rumanian retreat. Tt still remains to be developed whether the process of flanking the Rumanians out of their positions is to j be continued by other crossings of the | Danube still further east. The south- ] I ern bank of the river is held by the I j troops of the central powers to n point beyond Tchernavoda. Retreat Toward Capital That the retreat of the Rumanians j toward the nearer defenses of Buch- ! arest is already under way and is a precipitate one, is indicated by to- j | daiy's German official statement 1 which announces a disorderly retire-j | ment of the Rumanian forces along | the entire Wallaehian front before j | General Von Falkenhayn's steady! iadvance. Von llaekensen's Danube! armies are marching forward in a | corresponding advance. Russ on Offensive Possibly as a diversion in aid of the j Rumanian, the Russians have taken 1 !the offensive near Kiribaba. on the i Golden Bistritza in the Carpathians j i northwest of the Rumanian frontier. ! | Attacks here, Petrograd reports, net- I | ted them the ridges of heights east i | and south of Kirlibaba and the cap-j ! ture of more than 700 prisoners. Ber- i | lin declares the Russian attacks, de j livered at many points along the Car jpathian and western Moldavian front, resulted only in local successes which were paid for dearly. With the exception of the Ruman ian front none is more active at pres ent than the Macedonian. Whatever j may have been the result of the rel I ce jpt heavy fighting there, regarding I which German and entente accounts i disagree, the allied armies do not ap- ' | Pear to have slackened the force of : their offensive in the Monastir region. Serbs Take Heights Paris to-day announced an import ant advance by the Serbians in which 1 two heights were captured, notablv!

"The members of hoards of managers are generally a high type of business men but when they are called to adminis ter the funds of the hospital they are apt to be dazed by the influence of somo mysterious, professional narco tic which ofttimes invalidates their ac customed efficiency," says the report All private rooms should serve as a source of revenue to the hospital and never as a source of deficit and we.ll to-do should not be presumed to ac cept of State aid. "Tho full cost of maintenance should be required of all patients having ability so to pay; un der no circumstances should the physician profit as a result of charity extended by the State. Instances were numerous where public corporations assuming to care for their employes did so with part aid from Btate funds. The Workman's Compensation law should serve as a helpful source of revenue to every hospital In the State." In discussing conditions generally the report says: "The safety of a well-managed hospital Is now recog nized to be paramount to that of the best appointed homo, A demand ha*, therefore, arisen for private rooms which seems out of proportion to the original intents of these corporate bodies. The State has been appealed to for assistance and well-to-do pa tients have at times presumed to ac cept the benefits of tb State's aid, Even physicians have at times encour aged this acceptance so they might Indirectly secure a higher fee. Such unjust conditions, your bureau thinks, should no longer be permitted to exist." As to Isolation Again the report says: "Much valu able time and space Is lost to many hospitals because of the lack of proper Isolation departments Into which may be placed patients suffering from com municable diseases. Whole wards have been rendered unserviceable for weeks on account of the presence of some of the apparently less harmful children's diseases which inadvertent ly broke out among Its patients. Prop er and prompt Isolation with adequate fumigation could add many bed-days to such hospitals. Moreover, It would spare other susceptible patients from the danger of contracting the same disease, Scrupulous carff In segregat ing septic cases la also Imperative; In difference to this has relegated a few hospitals of the State to the realm of primeval hospital ages. In tho minds of your Inspectors, In some instances It was observed that neighboring In dustrial concerns declined to utilize the facilities of the adjoining hospital on account of the very high percent age of septlo cases occurring In the service of the Institution. It were bat ter that a hospital case its doors to all patients than Jeopardize their lives by subjecting them unaiuweeUnglx to greater Ills than those from which they are now suffering." Duplication Ilappcd The report Hays owing to discus sions among doctors or managers sometimes rival hospitals have been established. It then remarks in the management or among the patronizing physicians of the original plant. A division occurred, and the seceding professional men, carrying with them their Influential patrons, started an other hospital. Through political in fluence, this was encouraged by State aid so that now the sum of money available for certain districts Is divid ed and dissipated Without serving ef fectually the greatest possible number of people. Competition between hos pitals, as between doctors, because of the unwholesome strife which It en genders. Is upt to be more harmful than helpful In securing efficient ser vice. Your bureau hus urged tho In terested parties In these several or ganizations to attempt to form a union of forces and thus secure the num erous benefits which would accrue from united efforts. It would further more suggest that future encourage ment be withheld by the State from in stitutions where their presence is not needed: that the policy of the State tend rather toward an effort to per fect the most promising ones by con centrating the available funds upon these, Such a policy would BOOH elim inate the lee* efficient institution#," TO TAI.K OX ASTRONOMY The Harrisburg Natural History So ciety bus arranged Tor a free illustrated talk on astronomy entitled, "The AVon ders of the Sky." to be given by If.
