There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
'For a great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease and prescrib
ed local remedieo. and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Scienoe ha»
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease ami therefore requires constitu
tional treatment. Hall's Catarrh < ure
manufactured by K. J. Cheney A < o.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken inter
nally indoses from I" drops to a tea
spoonful. It acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for any
case*it fails to cure. Send for circular
and testimonials.
