Catarrh should not be neglected or experimented with. The wrong treatment is valuable time lost, dur ing which tho disease Is getting a firmer hold upon its victim, and making it more difficult for even the proper treatment to accomplish re sults. . Though Catarrh mdkes Its first appearance in the nostrils, throat and air passages, the disease be comes more more aggravated LEADING PASTOR i TAKEN BY DEATH Funeral Services For the Revsl Dr. Peightel Are to Bo Held in Church ; i Grcencnstle, Pa..
