Lew!s gave an excellent and interesting presentation of the work done by the board of children’s guardians at the First Congregational Church last evening under the auspices of the Civic Center. Mr. Lewis was Introduced to the large audience by Rev. Mr. S. M. Newman, president of the Civic Center. Mr. Lewis began his talk with a dis- course on the subject of saving children in @ general way, and the way to obtain a perfect method of accomplishing such an end. He said that there were two principal methods of procedure, the Institutional method and the home-finding method; the first proceeding on the ground that well- ordered institution is the best place for such children, and the other acting upon the assumption that a home found for a child would supply the existing deficiency in that regard. Mr. Lewis took his hearers on a tour through various institutions for the care of children, showing on the screen pictures of the Industrial Home School and the Na- tional Colored Home, both of this city, the institutions of Michigan, Wisconsin | and Minnesota, and showed how appropriations concentrated for one purpose could accom- plish much more than having the funds parceled out to various associations as they fre in the District. The speaker took his hearers through several slums in this city, contrasting the pictures of childrea found im these localities with those of children wards of the board of children’s guardians, the latter being the picture of intelligence, health and happiness. Mr. Lewis sald tha’ the child-caring institutions of the city sup- ported about a thousand inmates, and that a number of those discharged during the Past, five oF six years were known to be leading upright lives through the Influences of the institutions, but that the question Naturally arose as to what part these were of the whole number cared for and as to how the methods could be betterzd, in or- der to bring about a larger percentage. Mr. Lewis was followed throughout the talk with the closest attention, and held a Teception at the close of the lecture. —_—_.- = GAVE A TEA. Raising Funds for the Florence Cri- tenton Home. The Florence Crittenton Hope and Help Mission gave a tea in the home, at 218 8d street northwest, yesterday. The following lacies were on the reception committee: Mrs. Bella C. Luckett, Mrs. Mary E. Cat- lin, Mrs. E. K. Knowles, Mise Mary Rector, Mrs. Alfred Wood, Mrs. Sumptner, Mrs. Forrest, Mrs. Tims, Mrs. Mahoney, Mrs. Kate Waller Barret, Mrs. Elizabeth Fleck, the matron, and Mrs. Sarah D. La Fetra, the president of the home. The refresh- ments were given by the mission's friends, and were disposed of for its benefit. From 4 o'clock until 10 the large rooms were filled, and a handsome sum was realized. There are now over forty inmates, includ- ing sixteen children, and the increasing number make it necessary for the friends of the mission to raise funds. The home fs in a flourishing condition and doing an Increasingly good work. Everything ts neat and home-like about tt. One room Is furnished by Calvary Bap- uist Church, another by Mrs. Garrison of H Street Baptist Church, and the Metro- tan Church fs arranging to furnish a third.

Annual Meeting and Election of Di- rectors Held Last Night. The annual meeting of the Choral Society was held last evening In Typographical Hall, at which an election to fill vacancies on the board of directors was held, reports of the officers and committees read, a Statement of the financial condition of the scciety distributed and an adjournment taken until the fall. There was a good attendance of members, and the election to fill vacancies on the beard of directors caused by the expira- tion of the terms of service of five direct- ors and the resignation of one, resulted in the election of Miss M. L. Boone, Miss M. E. Cunningham, Stasius Meade, W. B. King, Charles A. Lee and Howard L. Prince. Reports of the various committees and the librarian showed an encouraging condition of the soclety’s affairs. From data fur- nished by the financial secretary and the treasurer, the secretary had prepared a statement showing In detail the receipts and expenditures of the society for the season, and printed copies of the report were distributed. From this statement it appears that the total cash receipts for the season amounted to $4,080.18, the total expenses were $4,594.11, leaving an out- standing indebtedness of $513.93. Doubtful assets amounting to something over $200 were reported, which, if realized upon, will reduce the debt of the society and leave its affairs in a much more encouraging condi- tion than was expected earlier In the sea- son. ————.__ THE WHITE MARBLE PRIEST. By President J. E. Rankin, Howard ‘niversity. While passing through the rotunda of the Capitol the other day two little Irish lads asked me where was the “Marble Priest.” I sought the proper official, and took them to the statue of James Marquette, Wiscon- sin’s gift to the United States. The inci- dent gave rise to the following lines: No room in your hall for the white marble priest, © long-boasted land of people oppressed? Your face full of terrors, your heart full of fears? ‘The man has been dead full two hundred years! Ashamed to confess that you owe him a debt? You've room for Columbus, but not for Marquette. ‘Twelve millions of people, part of your whole, With Macs and Maloneys on your pay-roll; ‘They help fight your battles and help build your roads, ‘They help pay your taxes and help bear your loads. Ashamed to confess that you owe him a debt? You've room for Columbus, but none for Marquette. You have room for De Soto, the man of the sword; No room for the priest, with the word of the Lord? For he stands in his robe, with his cross and his beads, Afraid of Pater Nosters, of his rites and his creeds! Ashamed to confess that you owe him a debt? You've room for Columbus, but none for Marquette. You have room for the Pligrims, as forth they em- bark, God's rainbow above them, in Freedom's frall ark; No room for the freedom of speech and of thought That over the wave of the ocean they brought? Asbamed to confess that you owe him a debt? ‘You've room for Columbus, bat none for Marquette. © nation first cradled in the bosom of Godt © nation whose fathers the martyr-path trod! © fear not the Bible that fostered your yout And fear not the churches, the pillars of tra! Rise up and confess that you owe him a debt; You've room for Columbus, mabe room for Mar quette, cf COMMITTEES REPORT Progress of the Work for the Big C. E. Convention. THE MEETING LAST NIGHT Financial Condition of the Affair Detailed. BICYOLE RUNS Fifty-nine societies were represented at the regular monthly meeting of the District of Columbia Christian Endeavor executive committee, which was held last evening in the Calvary Baptist Church. The vestry room was completely filled with the inter- ested workers. Reports of the union com- mittees were received, a committee was elected to nominate officers for election at the annual meeting in June, and reports from the officers and members of the com- mittee of "06 were read. After devotional exercises two new so- cieties—Mt. Zion Baptist and Trinity A. M. E.—were received into the union upon the recommendation of the union lookout com- mittee. A reccss was then taken for’ five minutes, during which time the several de- nominations met in different portions of the room and chose representatives on the nom- inating committee. Those elected to this committee are: Baptist—E. Hilton Jackson, Miss Anna J. Bell and Charles F. M. Brown. Christlan—Miss Lena Summ; Folks and J. W. Pickett. Congregational—Miss Grace Johnson, Miss M. E. Dean and C. W. Chappel. Lutheran—Charles E. Paul, George R. Linkins and Miss Christine A. Poggensee. Methodist Protestant—R. L, Dutton, Ru- fus Ferguson and Miss Clara Sherier. Methodist Episcopal—F. 8. Gilmore, E. H. Hunter and Prof. A. L. Dietrich. Presbyterian—C. J. Hepburn, F. A. Fen- ing and H. G. Kimball. United Brethren—Mrs. ham. Friends—Prof. R. B. Warder. Committee Reports, After this business had been concluded, President Shand turned over the remainder of the meeting to Mr. W. H. H. Smith, chairman of the committee of ‘96, and re- ports of the work accomplished by the va- rious committees and subcommittees were presented by the respective chairmen. Treasurer Foster's statement of the con- dition of the treasury showed that funds liad been received to the amount of $7,- S98.85, while the expenses had footed up to $2,351.11, leaving a balance on hand of $%,- 5IT.74. The finance committee, through W. B. Robison, caairman, reported that two-fifths of the necessary funds are yet to be sub- scribed, but expressed confidence in the s' cessful outcome cf its endeavors to raise the amount estimated to be necessary in order to defray the convention expenses. This sum the report stated to be $25,000, of which it was desired that the local En- deavorers subscribe $10,000 and citizens the remainirg $15,000. There has already been subscribed by Endeavorers, says the re- port, $9,000, and by citizens $6,000, leaving a balance of $10,000 yet to be secured. Chairman Grant Leet of the printing com- mittee detailed the operations of his com- mittee, which, he said, is just now very much occupied in preparing a souvenir map to be printed in five or six different colors, 19 by 24 inches, and showing church and hotel headquarters, meeting places, churches, public buildings, &c. The con- vention program also will be issued by the printing ccmmittee and the report states that it will probably be the largest and most comprehensive of any convention be- cause of the great number of simultaneous meetings In different places. More than $1,000 has already been expended for print- ing. The committee announced its policy of giving out its work to local firms as far as possible. Bicycle Runs, An interesting report was that presented by the excursion committee, Jerome F. Johnson, chairman. Bicycle runs had been planned for the early morning to Bright- wood and Soldiers’ Home, and afternoon rides over the Woodley, Loughborough and Conduit roads. Saturday afternoon, July ,» Miss Mary Washington Top- 11, a run to Arlington and Fort Myer was projected, and a favorable response to u re- quest for a special cavalry drill having been made to the committee, the drill will be given about 5:30 Saturday afternoon. The report further stated that guarantees had been given by the bicycle dealers in the city not to overcharge for rentals dur- ing the convention season. Reduced rates to Mount Vernon had been secured, and the committee was expecting a favorable re- sponse to Its request that the hours for visitors be extended, allowing sightseers the use of the grounds from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. The report outlined plans for other excursions to Harper's Ferry, Luray, Nor- folk and Gettysburg. The chairman stated that rates had been secured which were very satisfactory to the committee. The press committee reported the means by which it has endeavored to keep the public informed of the progress of conven- tion arrangements, among which were the sending out of press bulletins monthly to more than eight hundred religious and secular papers. The hall committee ex- pressed its gratification In being assured of the support and hearty co-operation of Col. John M. Wilson, in charge of public grounds, ‘ho is in sympathy with our movements,” says the report, “and who has already by his acts and counsel given us the assurance of his earnest solicitude that this great convention must and will be productive of great achievements.” On behalf of the music committee, It was stated that the desired membership of 4,000 singers for the convention chorus had nearly been reached; that the section rehearsals have shown that the chorus is composed of good material, and capable of doing all that the occasion will demand; that the members seem enthusiastic, and show their earnest- ness in faithful attendance on rehearsals, and that there will be no occasion to be ashamed of the musi¢ during July's great gathering. Badges and Decorations, The decorations subcommittee stated in its report that designs for a convention badge were being considered, and that out of the maze of suggestions and sketches it was confidently expected that a selection would be mado which, like everything else onthe! to this convention, shall be the est yet. Arrangements for the decoration of the public parks were being made, and it was reported that the committee soon expected to take up for consideration the question of the complete decoration of the city. It was recommended that all lady members of convention committees wear white sajlor hats with a band of red, white and blue ribbon, containing in black letters the name of the committee to which each belonged. The entertainment, reception and ushers committees also gave interesting reports and outlining their plans for beginning in earnest the work before them. Chairman W. H. H. Smith of the com- mittee of ‘96 read a brief report calling at- tention to the comfortable situation of the committee in Its new headquarters, placed at the committee’s disposal and completely and handsomely furnished through the courtesy of local merchants without a dol- lar’s expense to the convention funds, even the moving being accomplished without cost. The chairman also gave notice that @ meeting of some central or subcommittee would be held regularly at headquarters every afternoon and evening from now un- til the convention. The meeting was closed after the reading by President Shand of a letter from D: Francis E. Clark, president of the World’ Christian Endeavor Union, in which he ex- pressed an earnest desire that great spirit- ual benefits might result from the Wash- ington convention. Yesterday evening, before the executive committee meeting, the committee of '96 held a brief session, The following com- mittee was appointed to take charge of the evangelistic work during the convention: Rev. J. J. Muir, chairman; Rev. D. W. Skelienger, Rev. W. S. Hammond, Rev. M. Ress Fish' Rev. Alexander Bielaski, Rev. H. D. Bailey and Mr. W. N. Multer. Additional Subscriptions.

Two Cuban Leaders on Their Way Went With Their Armies. Gen. Calixto Garcia and Gen. Jose Maceo, the Cuban leaders, have succeeded in uniting their commands and are both now on thelr way westward. This union is of the greatest importance to free Cuba. It settles the report that these two leaders Were enemies and proves that the Spaniards have been ouwitted again by the patriots, Gen. Weyler had sent a large force to the eust to prevent the union of the armies, but in vain. But by far the most grateful news to the friends of Cuba that comes in connection with this junction is that the arms and ammunition and the light field pieces which were sent to Cuba aboard the steamer Com- modore have been landed and are now be- ing used in Garcia's army. The insurgent forces in the east are therefore well armed. The Late Engagement. Other information, from Cuba direct, shows that the alleged victosy which Gen. Weyler said he won last week in Pinar del Rio over Gen. Antonio Maceo was noth- ing more or less than an actual defeat for the Spaniards, The report showed that the insurgents 4 under Gen. Maceo met the Spanish column near Cacarajicara, an insurgent stronghold in the mountains of Pinar del Rio. The Spaniards acknowledge having lost seventy men, including two officers of high rank. ‘They placed the insurgents’ loss at more than 200, It appears now that the situation is just the reverse. Gen. Weyler has been anxious to keep the real facts of the defeat of his troops from leaking out and has sent a steamer to the north coast of Pinar del Rio province, which is to carry the wounde: back to Havana, where they are to be cared for at the military hospital. To Attack the Trocha. °° One of the officials of the Cuban legation says that Gen. Antonio Maceo, whom the Spaniards thought they “had penned in, will attack the trocha as. soon as-he gets ready. “ “Gen. Maceo,” said the official, “went to Pinar del Rio for the sole purpose of tak- ing charge of that province. We don't care @ snap about the Spaniards and their tro- cha. I know that whenever Gen. Maceo gets ready he will attack the trocha at two points. These attacks will be made simul- taneously. and one et the columns will havé > no trouble in breaking through. Then they can attackthé trotha’ from beth sides. The Spaniards will be sorry they ever thought of a trocha. 4. It is known that Gen. Gomez will either go west himself or send iGen. Garcia and Jose Maceo. They will then communicate with Gen. Antonio Maceo!’ in Pinar del Rio province, and attack the trocha ahout the same time, only from different directions. Shot by’His Own ‘Stde.* | A passenger recently arrived’ from! Cuba reports that Candido Mestro, Neutenant col- onel of the local guerrilla of Cruces, Clen- fuegoes, has heen shot, by order of Capt. Alba of the same Spanish forces. This pas- senger alleges that he was in Cruces and saw the dead body. He also reports that there were some appalling stories in_cir- culation as to. the cruelty of Mestra: He fa sald to have killed over 150 ants, and to have mutitted them before they were* killed. In“one eisé, tt 1s said, cutting the ears off to exhibit them, put- ting tem in a glass of gin, and then sip- ping the gin. This, it is said, came to the knowledge of the government through his killing a cousin of the wife of General Suarez Valdez. The people of Cruces are reported to be terrorized at the presence of Mestro and Alba. Alba is said to be the same man who {nsulted the Gerfian flag in the Canpline Isjands affair.. The Spanish offered to shoot him in order to make reparation to the German govern- ment, but, It Is said, did not do so, and kiNed another man tn his place. To Attack Puerto Principe. The Cubans will svon attack Puerto Prin- cipe, it Is understood, and it is predicted that they will be able to hold it. The po: on of at least one important ‘town, led with proved ability to hold it, ha been insisted upon in this country as a n essary prerequisite to United States recog+> nition of the insurgents as_ beiligerents. Puerto Principe 1s one of the largest towns in Cuba. Tt has over 30,000 inhabitants, and is In the very heart of the same name of the province, which lies between San- tlago and Santa Clara provinces. It is about ninety miles from either shore, and the center of railroads running south, north, east and west. THE SPANISH CAME BACK. Went Out to Capture the Insurgents’ Position. The steamer Triton arrived at Havana, Cuba, yesterday, from Bahia Honda, ac- ecrding to a New York Herald special, bringing fifty-eight Spanish soldiers, wound- ed in the recent battle of Cacarajicara. A large crowd waited at the wharf until the landing of the steamer, anxious to learn particulars of the engagement. Both sides fought with desperation, according to the story told by the officers engaged on the Spanish side. Gen. Suarez Inclan was Friday morning at Bahia Honda, and in obedience to orders was about to attack Cacarajicara. A coun- tryman appeared at headquarters and sald that he knew the location of Maceo's camp. He agreed to serve as guide and surprise the rebels. The troops, with two pieces of artillery, advanced over a bad, rocky road, surrounded by steep mountains. There was perfect quiet except for the tramp of the soldiers’ feet and the breezes rustling in the branches, Suddenly from all sides came a terrific musketry fire, but the troops pressed on. They went forward until they reached a pocket in the road, where a town showed and the fortifications above. Darkness found the troops in this position. They lay awake all night under constant fire, with no food or drink. At the first .sign of dawn the Spanish general ordered the guns to the front to attack the intrerchments. Suc- cessive charges were mi , the Spanish say with success, the Cubags declare with de- feat. At any rate theSpanish came back. The return march was’ very difficult, the enemy being scattered all through the hills and firing from every potas: The progress was slow on account of the wounded sol- diers. The official Spanish report says 2,000 Spanish and 6,000 to 8/000 insurgents were engaged in all. The defense of the fortifications is said to have been conducted by Maceo, Socarras and Quintin Bandera. a Suarez Inclan made a1 his soldiers for their v: deserved a place in th ish history. address, thanking lorg,which, he said, ea} pages of Span- Mr. Woodman’s Cuban . Resolution. Representative Woodman of Illinois has introduced a resolution providing that the House of Representatives directly request the President to make immediate procla- mation that @ condition of war in Cuba is recognized and that it is the purpose of this government to preserve a position of neutrality, and that the United States will look with especial disfavor on the continu- ance of any methods of warfare not rec- ognized in the rules of war as practiced by the leading nations of the civilized world. In the preamble it is recited that ‘the exec- utive department of the government has not seen fit to act on the almost universal rec- ommendation of the people, as expressed by both branches of Congress,” and that “the situation in that most unhappy Island is becoming a stench.in the nostrils of Christendom; the murders, the outrages, the barbarities and horrors perpetrated by the Spanish in Cuba are so notorious that elvilization itself stands appalled.” ering of your lung you will have Pleurisy, which DOCTOR McCOY’S MONOGRAPH ON CATARRH Prompted by Numerous Inquiries of Those Afflicted by This Disease—The Treatment That Cures Catarrhal Conditions. Doctor McCoy’s Monograph on Catarrh is the response of the famous physician to the expressed desire of hundreds of patients for words of authority from the man whose treat- ment, formulated in 1883, was car- ried all over the nation by men who had been in his employ as physi- cians, assistants or students, whose practice was exploited in every city of the country with the ever familiar and original mode of presentation; the picture and interview of the cured patients. That his years of study and effort in mastering this dis- ease as far back as °83 were not in vain, is evidenced even by the meas- ure of success of these young men who had been with him, by the fact that with the knowledge they had acquired in their brief services in his great offices, they were enabled to compete successfully with local doc- tors in cities in which they practiced. That this knowledge, effective as it seems to have been commercially, was not invariably effective profes- sionally, is not altogether due to the brevity of their training and exper- ience with Doctor McCoy, or their lack of years spent in preliminary study and practice, for it is frankly ac- knowledged by Doctor McCoy that the earlier methods which they copied were far from satisfactory to him. In other words, the treatment which they went forth to offer to the public was premature and incom- plete, as all great departures must be. THE MONOGRAPH ON CATARRH. Copsright, 1896.) When I gradnated seventeen years ago and won | the position of house physician at Bellevue Hospt- | tal it was with visions of becoming a doctor who | Oscar Randgvist, Anacostia, testifies to skill in curing deafness. performed big operations, great amputations and other great things In the way of cutting my af ficted fellow-beings. It id not take me long, however, to discover that there were but few peo ple who necded their legs and arms cut off, but that | nearly every case that came to the hospital for treatment, and nearly every afflicted person I saw among my friends outside, suffered from some com plaint that started as a manifestation of catarrh, At that time catarrh was not understood ease, and its various manifestations, they did the different parts and. o: body,’ were usually overlooked. In this field I saw an opening to do something in the way of original Worl and T act out to master the subject. ‘Thinking possibly that the truths which T have gathered together in these years of experience and practice, regarding catarrh, may be intersting, 1 have decided to publish what I have learned, as far as a brief article will allow me, The treatment I first formulated for catarchal conditions was part good and part bad, and os such {t was adopted by others. As the years went on my treatment was inipeoved, until today, as it exists in its new formulation, I believe It does away with the bad features of the earlier methols and brings with tt results that mever could have been obtained under er any plan of treatment that ‘The word * fs taken from the G signifies to By th tarrh, is that by a’ di pus mem mucous m inside of the body.

THE MUCOUS MEMBRANES. Mucous membranes are found Uning the mouth, the nose, the eyelids, the throat, the custachiag tubes, the windpipe, the bronchial tubes, the Iung cells, the swallow, the stomzch, the bowels, the tubes in the lver, the tubes In the kidney and bladder, and either or all of these organs or parts may suffer from catarrh, and if they do there is sure to be one characteristic symptom present, namely, the discharge from the part affected of mucows or rome form of corruption. Those part niost affected by catarrn are the upper portion! of the breathing apparatus, the nose, throat and bronchial tubes. The ceasou for this ts that the disease, which starts as a coll, usually affects these parts most, and when a coll fs once set the dust and irritating particles from the atmos phere are brought constantly in contact with the inflamed membranes, which become irritated, and the disease is thus kept alive and aggravated. Thix accounts for the fact that catarrh is so prevalent among those who work in dusty places, and that {t 1s so common in the dry windy periods of the fall and spring months, Catarrh usually starts with a cold in the head, and ff left unchecked in this climate rarely gets well of Itself. As each fresh cold is taken the disease sprea‘is, getting deeper and deeper, creep- ing along thy ‘mucous membranes, from nose to throat, from throat to windpipe,' from windpipe to bronchial tubes, and from the bronchial tubes to the lung cells themselves. Bear in mind that the mucous membranes all connect, one with. the other, Just Ike the wires which go to make up a telegraph or telephone line. Hence, it is easy for a disease that attacks one part of the mucous membrane to spread by continulty to another part that Is Hned with this structure. CATARRH MEANS AN UNCURED COLD. As I said, catarrh usually starts with a cold, and a cold comes from chilling some part of the body. The chilling causes too much blood to go to that part and thls produces redness, swelling, inflammation, fever and soreners. This describes a cold. and catarrh is but an uncured cold. The surest way to get sick is to catch a cold. Just let the cold alcre, Let it remain long enough and sink deep enough, and spread far enough, and you are sure to be sick. One cold may not mean anything, and then again it may. When you have a cold, just expose yourself and catch another before the fist cold is cured, ond arother cold right on top of this, and you are @ sure candidate for distress and sickness, and the sickness that is most likely to result is catarrh. If you teke cold and it eettles in the head, and avother cold is added to it before it gets well, you will bave catarrh of the head. If you take cold and it settles in the throat, and you catch another cold on top of it, you will have catarrh of the throat, which is Hable to extend into the bronchial tubes end cause Bronchial Catarrb. If you take cold snd it settles on the chest you may elthes have Brorchitis or Pneumonia. If you contract a cold and it settles on the cor- means pains in the side, fever and stitches in the side whenever you take @ long breath. If you have a cold in your throat, and yon keo} taking cold after cold on top of it, your Catarrl may be driven up into your ear; then you will have enrache, followed by discharging ears, buzzing sounds heard in the ears, or deateas. If you catch cold, and the cold settfes on tho kidneys, you will have pain in the back, hoadacho, puffiness under the eyes, swolling and ail the other symptoms of Kiduey Disease, USUAL HISTORY OF CATARRH. ‘The history of an average case of catarrh is Ike this: A person is exposed, he feels a chilly sensation on the surface of the body, he has @ creepy feeling running down bis back, he sneezes, he may even shiver a little, the pose feels stopped up, it then gets sore, there is a sense of fulliess or weight across the front of the head, or there may be headache.

Now he brings up with the cough a material that is mixed with yellow, or may be some greenish-looking mat- ter. He now coughs considerably at night and feels worn out when he arises in the morning, and his general condition ts most wretched. Now, more than likely, he wonders what has been going on inside of him, and this is what lias occurred: The catarrh bas again advanced. It has invaded the bronchial tu The bronchial tubes convey the alr from the windpipe to the lungs. The catarrh has by this time pretty thoroughly left the upper alr passages, and a fresh cold 1s all that is necessary to give the disease an excuse for con. tinaing Its march further downward and dee where, in time, 4f unchecked, it will tuvade lung: ULCERATION FROM CATARRH. Catarrh attacks the glands in the mucous mem- branes. The glands get sore, fester, ulcerate, a sore spot ts formed. This sore scabs over, the scabs are loosened and expelled. The sore ts thus torn open and gets larger goes deeper. The ulcers and sore spots along the mucous membranes Ining the breathing passages are hard to heal, becanse they are constantly working In the breathing process. If you have a sore hand and keep it quiet it soon gets well of Itself, but keep using It, and the sore won't heal; keep knocking the scabs off the sore and the sore gets worse. Ulceration is the great danger from catarrh. ‘The condition of ulceration is indicated, blow scabs end crusts from the nose. spitting up yellow pus mixed with blood, or coughing up gray-Jookin, inaterial, or material mixed with k ed with’ blood. ‘Thi made by caterrh putrefy, rot and : odors.

A cold is tuken; {t is neglect there are more chilly, creepy feelings; the cough gets dry agin; it Is backing in its character, and fs always worse at night, and as soon ns the pa- tient gets out of bed In the morning and bares his chest while dressing he notices that the cough fs very severe. When In this condition be finds that toward night bis body becomes too warm, his face is flushed, and soon ns be removes the clothes from his body, and the alr strikes the chest, it causes violent coughing.

But he notices that he Is constantly losing flesh, getting weaker, tires easily, and gets very short of breath in taking exercise’ or climbing stairs. All this means that catarrh has taken its final advance Into the tissues of the lungs themselves, and las fuvaded the lung cells. Catarrh in the Lung Cells. ‘When catarrh has reached the lung cells it can go no deeper in the chest. It has reached the end of the road that fs ilned with mucous mem- branes upon which it Hives and feeds. It has gradually invaded the deepest parts of the air passages, but finding no new tissues to spread along it is checked in its onward march, but does not leave the system. Catarrh rarely leaves the system unless driven out by proper treatment. ‘hen it has invaded the lungs it settles down to feed on_the tissues of the lung cells.
