Forty men are employed here in the product of all stages of concentration—the pure metal and the various salts used to carry it—the sulphates, • carbonates, chlorides and bromides. The 'com- pany will not flood the market, and its intention is to furnish Ameri- can medical practitioners with radium in reasonably small .quantities.

When germs attack the lining of the nose, make yon sneeze and gag, ---when. later on they infest the bronchial tubes,—how can you follow them with a cough syrup? You can't do it—that's ail: Cough syrups go to the stomach—that's why they fail. But Catarrhozone goes everywhere —gets right after the germs—kills them—heals the soreness—cures the inflammation—makes Catarrh disap- pear. "Nothing I have ever used gives the warm, soothing sensation of Catarrho- zone," writes Isabel Fry, of Seguin Falls, Ont. "I was In a frightful way with catarrh of the nose and throat— had droppings, hard breathing, bad breath and indigestion. Catarrhozone relieved at once and cured me thor- oughly. It is invaluable in colds, sore throat and bronchial trouble." Not difficult for Catarrhozone to cure, be- cause it contains the essences of pine balsams and other antiseptics that simply mean death to catarrh.
