Brooks, Farley Starr, Messrs Alexander, Ather-
ton aud Starkey, together with local clergyman
and other we-known ctizens all OF whom pigeon

Catarrhal
POISON!

Wei DE Meyers Treatise on Catarrh explains
the following important facts;
!. That Catarrhal Colds become poisonous In
fection. at nrst local, aud finally constitutional.
2. That, being constitutional, the Infection Is beyond
tho reach Of mere local remedies.
.. That Impurities In the nostrils necessarily
swallowed into the stomach and inhaled into the
lungs thus poisoning the Digestive, Respiratory and
Geno-urlnary organs.
I. That Catarrhal virus follows the mucous mem
brane and causes Deafness. Dyspepsia, Chronic d.
arfh9a, Bronchitis, Leucorrhaa and Consumption.
s. That smokes, Douches. Inhalatons. and Insolube
snuhs cannot possibly infectious Inflammation
from the organs named.
Q. That an antidote for Catarrh must possess
inocuIative affinity for and the quality Of being ABB
sorbed by, the puruent mucous wherever located.
Based upon these plain theories, DIR. Wei De
Meyers Catarrh Cure has proved TO be nfalble. It
not only relieves, II cures Catarrh At any stage.
