Pints and Qmarts Of filthy Catarrhal discharges.
Where does it all come from : The mucous mem
brane which lines the chambers of the nose, and
its little glands, are diseased, so that they draw
from the blood its liquid, and exposure to the air
changes it into corruption. This life-liquid is
needed to build up the SYSTEM but it is extIicated
and the system is weakened by the loss. To cure,
den Medical Discovery, which also acts directly
upon these glands, correcting them, and apply DR..
Sage's Catarrh Remedy with Dr. Pierce's Nasal
Douche, the only method of reaching the upper
cavities. where the discharge accumulates and
comes from. The instrument and both medicines

Many toilet soaps are valued for their delicate
perfume and beautiful appearance. These quail
ties should rather warn the people against them,
as the oils and alkalies which produce these effects,
also produce many of the prevailing skin diseases.
To heal the diseases so contracted, or to avoid
them, use the "Forest Tar Soap" made from
Forest Tar and the purest materials. For Salt
Rheum and Chapped Hands it is invaluable. The
best shaving soap in the market. Ask your druggist
