oATARRH CAN BE CURED.
Dr.. F. D. Hall has Home Testimonials
to Prove the assertion.

NASAL CATARRH.-It has become a
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 a 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 a long
list of preparations put upon the market
by patent medicine men, and sold under
the head of Catarrh 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 teen 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
ders in treating Chronic Catarrh. And
you ask why it is that some OF our most
| skilful physicians are not successful IN the
the treatment of this dread diseasef The
| fact is this: In order to become pre-eml-
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 specially
we find few who do; hence the failure. You
would not expect a ply slclan VINO 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 or
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 o. access, without regard to re-
must suffer on until they find some kind of
effort to reach little out Of their way, and
avail themselves of the means of cure,
which God in his goodness has given; for
there never was, in my opinion, a disease
without a remedy to remove it. You
would not expect to obtain wealth without
an effort. Nature does not bring her mines
of gold to your door; you must go after
them, and by the effort you make you are
sure IN degree to be rewarded Suppose
you should go one hundred miles to OBJ
tain from a physician the remedies to
effect cure in Chronic Disease, and by
so doing save your lite, does it pay? Sup
pose, on the other hand, you are suffering
from Chrome Cdtdrrh, you try few
such remedies as are kept at your drug
gists, and, in fact, try all the remedies
within your reach, and stop here. Con-
sumption overtakes you, and you die with
out having put forth an effort to obtain the
skill of one who makes a speciality OF such
cases as your own, you alone must answer
for that life
There are thousands ard thousands Of
people in this country that are cut off iu
the bloom Of youth and beauty and con,
signed to untimeiy graves. Why is til

observation of Natures Laws and oul

are often the results Of Natures trans.
