On! is the Cry-— No More Time to Be Wasted. The war now being waged on land and .sea with the forces of Spain, is duplicated by the. conflict eternally gomg on in every human body with the forces of disease and death. Mucous diseases, resulting from colds develop- mg Into catarrh, have for years been steadily increasing in the United States. Their increase has been spec- ially marked in Norwalk. But these diseases have met a. conqueror. For seven months California Catarrh Cure has fought for the health and comfort of Norwalk citizens. The wonderfully rapid decrease in catarrh, tonsilitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, diptheria and catarrh of the internal organs, during these months, is traced directly to Cadi- forma. Catarrh Cure. Norwalk citizens can be no longer deceived. 01d and useless methods of treating this disease have had to give way before the mar- velous success of California. Catarrh Cure. The people who want health w111 no longer waste time and money on other treatment when California Ca.- tarrh Cure gives results like the fol- lowing: Mr. H. L. Woodworth, of 1 Burbank street, South Norwalk, says: “I have been troubled with catarrh for some t1me; my head and nose seemed retty » well stuffed up, and the quantities of matter that run into my throat at night, would cause me to hawk, spit,and often gag 1n the morning, before I could clear my throat. I got some California. Catarrh Cure at Plaisted’s drug store, and already these symptoms are very much better. My throat is finely free from all matter in the morning, and my whole head feels much clearer.” Do not sneeze and suffer from head and :colds or hay fever. California Catarrh Cure cures one; it. will surely prevent the other. An attachment for $2,000 on property alleged to belong to George E. Lane has been placed to cover a claim brought by Harry Goodwin, a clothing dealer, for damages. . l‘bh‘;%§;: ; ‘ «4. 4C; ‘8' 3' (w l." .2: .
