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

MORE CRITICAL
Peril Imminent in Southwest
Where Teutonic Enveloping j

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!
I one northwest of Grunishte, east of!
the Cerna river where an effort is
evidently being made to bring the line !
!! P i° Aj evel with tha t within the |
bend of the stream, towards Monastir
Meanwhile an advance by the Italians !
; is reported in the region west of Mon- i
astir where a violent battle is rag

ment In recent years.
10" on the I,lst
Of the 166 hospitals 84 are classed
as teaching institutions and the rc

are found to be deficient in laboratory
equipment administering anesthesia
antiquated X-ray apparatus and iack-
III s provision for matenity cases.
The criticism is also made that in some
hospitals so much attention was given
to the surgical cases that the medical
side was almost neglected and that
cases were operated upon without pre
liminary scientific investigation or
preparation.
'■ln the smaller cities It was fre

and ove n- Physician in the
community was allowed to bring pa
tients to the hospital and perform ma

was found to prevail of admitting to
the wards at a price far below the cost

pay the full cost, without anv effort
on the part of the hospital authority
to establish the facts and tn a sur
prisingly largo number of such cases

a physician to dictate the policy. "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
