Thousands of human beings are yearly borne on
the swift current of disease down to the grave just
because they do not possess sufficient knowledge
of themselves. A man meets his neighbor, and
the first SALVATION is, "How are you I" or Glow is
your health !" The reply frequently is, ooh, am
sons lightly regard cold. Reader, do You know
that cold is one of the most dangerous Of maa-
dies: A cold not only clogs up the pores of the
entire system, and retards circulation, but it IS
productive Of Catarrh, which is quite apt to lead
to Consumption. "Oh," you say, sit is nothing
but cold in my head" True, but that cold is
really mild form Of Catarrh, and if not arrested
in its course will become chronic. Catairh is one
of the most disaCreeable, offensive affections in
the catalogue Of diseases. The passage to the
nose is obstructed, the sense of smell impaired
in the head. In the more advanced stages, there
is q discharge having an offensive odor. If the
disease be allowed to continue in its course thick,
hard ncrustations will form in the head, the bones
of which sometimes become softened and break
away in pieces. Why will persons continue to
suffer from such an annoying, disgusting disease,
when they can Just as well be cured of it DR..
Sages Catarrh Remedy will cure the worst forms
of Catalrh; in fact, it is the only sure and safe
remedy which has yet been offered TO the public.
Many harsh, irritating preparations may, Tor
time, relieve the urgency of the symptoms, but
they do not cure the disease. Dr. Sage's Catairh
Remedy is soothing and healing in its effects, and
when used with DR.. Pierces Nasal Douche,
cording to directions, does not fail to effect cure.
