Any porson violat ing this ordinance shall po punished as provided In icction 147 of Doe* Tliot Most Dreadful of Ills- easen—Olironic Catarrh. Over hall of the people have ca tarrh in some form or another, and yet probably not a tenth of there peo- S le know that their diseaee is catarrh, me person says he has Bright’s dis ease; another liver complaint; another consumption; another female oont- plaint. These people would be very muoh surprised to hear that they were all suffering with cbroDio catarrh; but it is so, nevertheless. Each one of these troubles, and a great many more, are sim ply catarrh; that is, chronio indentation of the mucous lining of whichever organ is affected. Any external remedy that will cure catarrh in one location will cure it in any other location. This is why Pe- ru-na haa become so justly famous in the cure of catarrhal dikeases. It cures catarrh wherever located. Its enrea remain. Pe-rn-nu does not palliate; it cures. Dr. Hartman has recently compiled into book form several lectures on chronic catarrh, which he had do Itvered at different times at. the Sur gical . Ilotel.
