IN DANGER OF FIRE Department of Justine Heeords Not .Srrtirrly Kept. New York. January 15.?All the Im? portant records of thy Department of Justice at Washington, together with Its library of 25,000 volumes, are In danger of destruction by fire. Attorney General Wlckcrtham declared to-day Iii an address before the National Civic S.S.& No remedy that docs not entirely remove the cause of Catarrh from the Mood will ever make a permanent cure of the trouble. Just as long as the circulation remains contaminated with the impurities and eatarrhal matters which produce the trouble, the mucous membranes or inner linings of the body will be kept In a state of Irritation and disease. Sprays, lotions and other local applications will sometimes temporarily relieve'the tight, full feeling In the bead, buzzing noises in the ears, uncomfortable, stuffy feeling of the nostrils, and help to loosen the mucus in the throat; but Catarrh is a constitutional blood disorder and until it bas been entirely driven from the i-ystem there can be no permanent cure. S. S. S. cures Catarrh bv removing the cause from the blood. It attacks the disease at its head and by thor? oughly purifying and cleansing the circulation, and rirMiug it of every par? ticle of impurity, and at the same time enriching the blood, allows the inflamed and irritated membranes to heal, improves the general health, and stops every disagreeable symptom. S. S. S. reaches down to the 'very bottom and leaves no trace of the disease in the system. Book on Catarrh and any medical advice free to all who write.
