discovered that kills every germ and cures pneumonlanever having lost a case yet in 40 years, many people have learned this fact and sent to u by scores for $1.00 bottles hence the druggists should kee pthls size on hand.

Some retailers are buying three dozen, and ordering them by parcels post. People should saturate themselves with the Balm to kill this tough germ. It saves every case. B. F.

The Horrible
Handicap of Catarrh
You Must Drive It Out of the Blood to Get Rid of It Permanently. Adam never had a handkerchief is another way of saying that Catarrh is an ailment that we . owe to civilization and the effects of modern life. Catarrh is not a disease like pneumonia or typhoid fever. Catarrh is caused by impure 'blood, laden with irritating and poisonous matter acting upon cells lining
the nasal passages and throat, that have already been inflamed, irritated and caused to overwork, by exposure to dust, dirt, sudden changes of temperature, abnormal dryness of the air, and gernis. Catarrh cannot be cured by spraying or douching the nose and throat. The unhealthy condition of the blood must be overcome, purified and restored to a healthy condition. You must realize that the disease 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. Catarrh manifests itself by in- - flammation of the delicate membranes of the 'nose and air passages which choke up and make breathing very difficult. To get rid of these distressing effects 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. i
S. S. S. is a purely vegetable blood remedy, made from roo3 and herbs direct from the forest, which combat promptly any disease germ or impurities in the blood. Once you get your blood free from impurities cleansed of the catarrhal poisons which it is now a prey to because of its unhealthy state then you will be relieved of Catarrh the dripping in the throat, hawking and
spitting, raw sores in the nostrils, and the disagreeable bad breath. It was caused, in the first place, because your impov
erished blood was easily infected. Possibly a slight cold or contact with someone who had a cold. But the point is don't suffer with Catarrh it is not necessary. The remedy S. S. S., discovered over sixty years ago, tested, true and tried, is obtainable at any drug store. It has proven its value in thousands of cases. It will do so in your case. Get S. S. S. at once and begin
treatment. If yours is a longstanding case, be sure to write for free expert medical advice. We will tell you how this purely vegetable blood tonic cleanses the impurities from the blood by literally washing it clean. We will prove to you that thousands of sufferers from Catarrh, after consistent treatment with S. S. S.f have been freed from the trouble and all its disagreeable features and restored to perfect health and vigor. Don't delay the treatment.

TERROR REIGN OF BOLSHEVISTS III PERM DESCRIBED
(By Associated Press) OMSK, Central Siberia, Jan. 29. Death stalked the streets of Perm until the city was captured by General Gaida, according to the official report investigator who has Just returned from the Ural district It is said that the few pedestrians encountered there were emaciated, with livid lips and a constant nervous trembling of the head and hands. There are no children less than a year old in Perm, all having died, says the report, which adds that in three months the whole population would probably have perished. The report states that the Bolshevists regarded all bourgeois inhabitants of the city, even those ruined and dying, as outside the law. When the Jail was overcrowded the Inmates which had been imprisoned longest were-shot to make room for the newcomers, it is declared. There are well authenticated cases of torture, according to the report, which says some of the condemned were compelled to dig their own graves and rehearsals of executions were staged during the hours before the doomed people were put to death. Men were plunged into water until nearly drowned and were revived so that their torture could continue, while some prisoners were buried alive and others were mutilated, the report states. Women were forced to dig trenches, were often flogged and sometimes even killed, it is said. - - Peasants were forbidden last June
to take provisions into the city. Some j
people hid supplies but these were found and seized by the Bolshevists, who spread terror through out the whole region near Perm. LAFU2E BILL CHANGES UNION COUNTY COURT
