Scientific and Safe Treatment.

When applied with DIR. Pierce's Nasal Douche
and accompanied with DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery as constitutional treatment,
DR.. Sags's Catarrh Remedy produces peri ct
cures Of the worst eases OF Catarrh and Ozana
of many years standing. This through
course OF medication constitutes the only
scientific, rational. safe and successful manner
of treating this odious disease that has ever
been offered to the afflicted. So successfui
has it proven that the proprietor has long
offered a standing reward Of SSOs for a case OF
Catarrh which he cannot cure.
INDISPUTABLE EVIDENCE.
THos. J. BIsHop, Of South Brooklyn, N. T.,
writes that his wife had suffered since a child
with Catarrh until it had resulted in what
eminent physicians pronounced Consumption;
that she has u.ed DR.. Sage's CatarTh Remedy
with DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical DISCOVERY,
and thew have worked wonders with her case.
STEALING OUR THUNDER.
People should beware OF those lmpostors
who not only try to initiate DIR. Pierce's Family
Medicines, but also copy his origina! style OF
advertising by offering various sized rewards
for cases Of Catarrh and other diseases which
thew cannot cure. Those who do not possess
sufficient intelligence to enable them to wiite
original advertisements of their own, buthave
to steal those of Others. are not likely to have
made great and valuable discoveries IN Medi
cine. Look out for t~hem.-lCom. -'~
