WHAT CATARRH IS
It has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form of snuffs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
caase by enriching your blood with the
oil-food in Scott's Emulsion which is a
medicinal food and a building-tonic, free
Jromalcobol or any harmful drugs. Try it.
