Of course this all depends upon whether or not you are willing to continue the old time, make-shift methods of treatment that you and many other sufferers have used for years with no substantial re sults. If you are still content to depend upon the use of sprays, douches, inhalers, jel lies and other like remedies by themselves, that are applied to the surface and cannot reach be low it then make up your mind now that your Catarrh will re main a life companion and will follow you to the grave. You must realize that the dis ease itself and not its symptoms, is what you have to cure. Of course you know that when you are cured of any disease its symptoms will disappear.

Rill ing to the Easton Aero Service Company, whose projectors said that they wanted a charter for a $lO,- 000 corporation to deliver news papers, carry mail and packages, stating that they would have Eas ton as headquarters and carry pack ages as far as New York and Phila delphia if required. The interest ing question for the Commission is whether such a corporation should be restricted to any particular routes or territory or have the whole sky as a field. Ylecision will be reached next week. The projectors said they had bought a plane and had a licensed operator ready for busi ness. ObjccUons were made by resi dents of Hanover and McSherrys town to the trolley company op erating in that section removing tracks and abandoning service as it proposes.

To get rid of these distressing ef fects you must remove their cause. The blood is laden with the Catarrh germs, which direct their attack against the tender and delicate membranes of the nose and throat. These germs cannot be reached by sprays or douches, which, of course, have no effect whatever upon the blood. S. S. S. is a purely vegetable remedy, made from roots and herbs direct from the forests, which combat promptly any disease germs or impurities in the blood. This great remedy has been used for more than fifty years, with most satisfac tory results. It has been suc cessfully used by those afflicted with even the severest cases of Catarrh, because it drives out from the blood the Catarrh germs, and eliminates every foreign substance from the blood. S. S. S. is sold by drug gists everywhere. For the benefit of those af flicted with Catarrh or other blood diseases, we maintain a medical department in charge of a specialist skilled in these diseases. If you will write us fully, he will give your case careful study, and write you just what your own individual case requires. No charge is made for this service.
