He Knew the Fact.

A small boy had a dog that was rough, as most small boys’ dogs are, and a young girl who lived next door had a kitten, sly as all cats are.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable.
