disease it is thought to be—
in the beginning.
It can always be stopped—
in the beginning. The trouble
is: you don’t know you’ve got
it; you don’t believe it; you
won’t believe it— till you are
forced to. Then it is danger-

Don’t be afraid ; but attend
to it quick— you can do it your-
self and at home.

“NERVE WASTE”
la the title of a little book (now in Its fourth
edition) by H. C. Sawyer, the eminent San Fran
clsoo physician. It Is endorsed by both reli-
gious and secular press of the country, strong
papers like the Portland Pacific Baptist.
Boston Cohohbgatiobaljst, San Francisco
Occidbht.Chhibtian Guardian, Pbck’b Sun,
Cleveland PlaindbalBb, Baltimore Sun,Prov-
idence Journal, etc., etc. Public Opinion
of Washington, D. O., says: " Nerve Wasta as
a title is so sugge' tiveof quacks that even If
the book had no other merit than Its honesty It
would nevertheless deserve mention for that,”
and adds: “There has probably never appeared
on thia subject as high-toned, unselfishly writ-
ten book so nearly commensurate with the too
apparent needs.” Thb Occidbnt says: “There
are so many quacks and charlatans that many
need just such sensible and practical informa-
tion as Dr. Sawyer gives. We heartily com-
mend bis book ” The Rochester Herald says:
“It should be tn the hands of every person who
has trouble of this kind, for It is calculated to
point the way to relief as unerringly as a physi-
cian who would charge many dollars could do."
Hundreds of thousands of men, young and old.
are being bled by charlatans end quacks who
prey upon their misfortunes, and what Is worse
they even sell each other the names and ad-
dresses of the unfortunates who, If they knew
more of themselves, would not be bled by the
vampires that are growing rich off of them.
This book will tell them all about themselves
and what to do, and save them from tbeclutches
of the worst class of heartless pretenders this
country has yet produced. A sample chapter
will be sent. In plain, sealed envelope, for two
cents in stamps, that fully explains and carries
an average case from beginning to end and gives
the formulae for the prescriptions, so they can
be tilled at any ordinary drug store. There are
no secrets In the treatment or prescriptions,
only the standard drugs to be found In every
drug store being used. The book is Bl (In
stamps) by mail postpaid, and It Is the hope
that there will be sufficient sale to justify con-
tinuous advertising that will reach and put this
book ia»he 01 <”erT P®™0** needing it in
the United States.

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
"Something New Under the Sun.”
All doctors have tried to cure Catarrh
by the use of powders, inhalers and
drugs in paste form. Their powedrs dry
up the tnucuous membranes causing
them to crack open and bleed. The
powerful acids used in the inhalers have
entirely eaten awav the same membranes
that their makers have aimed to cure,
while pastes and ointments cannot reach
the disease. An old and experienced
practitioner who has for many years
made a close study and specialty of the
treatment of Catarrh, has at last per-
fected a treatment which when faithfully
used, not only relieves at once, but per-
manently cures catar'h, by removing the
cause, stopping the discharges, and
curing all inflammation. It is the only
remedy known to science that actually
reaches the afflicted parts. This won-
derful remedy is known as “Snuffles the
Guaranteed Catarrh Cure," and is sold
at the extremely low price of one dollar,
each package containing internal and
external medicine sufficient for a full
month’s treatment and everything neces-
sary to its perfect use.
"Snuffles'’ is the only perfect catarrh
cure ever made and is now recognized
as the only safe and positive cure for
that annoying disease. It cures all
inflamation quickly and permanently and
is also wonderfully quick to relieve hay
fever or cold in the head.
Catarrh when neglected often leads to
consumption.—“Sunffles" will me you
if you use it at once. It is no ordinary
remedy, but a complete treatment which
is positively guaranteed to cure catarrh
in any form or stage if used according to
the directions which accompany each
package. Don’t delay but send for it at
once, and write full particulars as to
'your condition, and you will receive
special advice from the discoverer of
this wonderful remedy regarding your
case without cost to you beyond the re-
gular price of “Snuffles’* the Guaranteed
Catarrh Cure.”
