All Doctors have tried to cure
CATARRH by the use of powders,
acid gases, inhalers and drugs in
paste form. Their powders dry up
the mucuous membranes causing
them to crack open and bleed. The

have entirely eaten away the same
cmmbranes that their makers have
aimed to cure, while pastes and oint.
ments cannot reach the disease. An
