The yo'ing lady one bright day take* It fnto her head to climb a cherry-tr?>e, and. while enjoying this ele vation, Steve comes along snd espies her In her perch.

The Severity of this Dis ease Increases Each Winter. Though th? d isagreeabl?-? effects of Cs- ] tarrh are felt all the year round, cold | and unpleasant weather aggravates the dises?,?? snd it is during the wir.t??r season that Its severest form is felt. Each s-ceewling year se?**?ms to in tensify thediiease, so that it gradual!*/ fastens its hold upon the? sufferer with s grasp that becomes firmer each sea son. Catarrh often appears as only scold st first, and is liardly noticed. Huti gradually the cold returns, and it is more difficult to cure, snd stays longer than formerly. These symptom- can not be mistaken ; th??y mark the first appearance of a disease that will de-j velop in severity snd stiibbor_ness,and , which it ?9 impossible to euro with the i local trestment of sprays, washes, and similar applications. Hcing a disease ? nf the blood, only a blood remedy can | have the slightest effect upon it. S.SS. (Swift's Specific) is the only cure fur Catarrh, because it is the only blood; remedy which gees to the sent of all ob-; tinate esses, and forces out the disease. Mr. T. A. Williams, a leading mer chant of Spartunburg. S. (.'., writes: "For four years I had nasal catarrh, ad though the ease was a mild one at first, it was not l?>ti?_* until I noticed that it was gradually growing worse. Of course I was utiilei- treatment of flrst clais phvslcians, but tlieir remedies were applied locally, inrj *ho OstOIvH seemed to be getting a firmer hold on me sll the while "After spending so much money f?*r treatment which proved to be all i vain, I was urged to try S.S. 8. I1 i remedy pro**?*a to be the right on?*, it got at the disease, and a few botties eoped me perfecily. The cur?* was a permanent one. and I.have not had a touch of the disease for many years. ?Swift's Sj-eciflc is the only remedy thaS will have the iHghteet effect upon Catarrh." _jm___ Sufferers from AUa%W^__ Catarrh should ret MT ^?BL S start on th?? di_ H S^ ease before tho cc?!d MtMh MMh yJP weather np_;rR\ ate?

Hirdii-ease is still with them. A course of S. S. S. (Swift's Specific) will prove all assertions made that it is the only euro for Catarrh ; it goes to the cause of tho trouble?the blood?and forces oat all traces of the disc-?-? Swift's Specific is t!.e only remedy which reaches real obstinate blood dti** eases; it cures Catarrh, Rheumatism, Cancer, Contagious l?l?x?d l'oison, Ec zema.
