oATARRH CAN BE CURED.
Dr.. T. ., Hall has Home Testimonials
to Prove the assertion.

NASAL CATARRH.-It has become
question with many persons suffering from
this dread lnalady if cure can be effected
by any medical treatment known to the
world. Those who doubt that Catarrh can
be cured, as general thing, are persons
who have been for some years under almost
constant local treatment; or, in other words,
have been treating the effect and not the
cause of the disease. Blood Root, Alum,
Chlorate of Potash, Aconite, Acids of all
kinds, Camphor, Glycerine, and long
list of preparations put upon the market
by patent medicine men, and soldeunder
the head of Cdtarrb Cure etc., etc. Many
of these preparations inhaled into the nos
trils not only do no good, but keep up
more or less irritation of the membranes,
and fatal results follow. No wonder many
persons, after such line of treatment, be-
come discouraged, and conclude that Ca
tarrh cannot be cured.
But the sufferers have not heen the only
class who have been in the dark. Some
OF the best skilled students of nature, and
some of the most eminent medical gentle
men in this country have made great blum.

you ask why it is that some OF our most
skiliful physicians are not successful in the
| the treatment of this dread diseasef The
| fact is this: In order to become pre-emi-
nently successful in the treatment OF any
! Chronic Disease, the student OF medicine
must devote almost his whole attention to
the study and treatment of this class OF
Diseases; and while we find many physlcl
ans who do not treat Catarrh as a Spectdttg
we find few who do; hence the failure. You
would not expect physician who treated
Chronic Diseases exclusively to bean ex-
pert in treating Fever. or any of the
Acute Diseases generally, and why should
you expect physicians who pay little OIL
no attention to Chronic Diseases to be sue
cessful in their treatment of them? From
direct observation find that the American
people are too apt to grasp at the means
most ready of access, without regard to re-
suits that must follow. And those persons
must suffer on until they find some kind Of
effort to reach little out of their way, anC

which God in his goodness has given; fol
there never was, in my opinion, disease
without a remedy to remove it. You

you should go one hundred miles to OBJ

from Chronic Cdtdrrb, you try a few
such remedies as are kept at your drug
