TUTBL00D UNHEALTHY liil SYSTEM DERANGED I The entire inner portion of the body Is covered with mucous membrane ; this membranous tissue is abundantly supplied with blood vessels, veins, arteries, and capillaries. Each of these is constantly supplying to this tissue or lining, blood to nourish and strengthen it and keep the system Healthy. When the blood becomes infected with catarrhal matter it is not able to fur nish the required amount of healthful properties, but feeds the parts with Impurities which disease the membranes and tissues so that they become Irritated and inflamed, and Catarrh, with all its disagreeable and dangerous ymptoms, is established in the system. There is a constant ringing in the . ears, a thinwatery discharge from the nostrils, the breath has an offensive odor, sllsrht fever often accompanies the disease, and gradually the entire health becomes affected and the system upset and deranged. In its earlier stages, when Catarrh is confined to the nose and throat, sprays, washes, inhalations, etc., are soothing and in a way beneficial, because they are cleanly and usually antiseptic, but such, treatment has no curative effect, because it does not reach the blood. To cure Catarrh the blood must be pur ified, and this is just what S. S. S does. It eoes down into the circulation and attacks the disease at its foundation ; it removes the cause and makes the blood pure and healthy. Then the blood vessels are filled with fresh. reinvigorated blood, which is carried to all the mucous surfaces and linings, the inflam mation and irritation are corrected, the symp toms all disappear; the health Is improved and Catarrh is permanently cured.
