Ca tarrhal t
POIS ON

Wei De Meyers Treatise on Catarrh,
explains the following important facts:
1. That Catarrhal Colds become poi
sonous infection, al first local, and finally
constitutional.
.. That, being Constitutional. the infection is
beyond the reach of mere local remedies.
8. That Impurities in the nostrils, are
necessarily swallowed into the stomach and
inhaled into the lungs, thus poisoning the
Digestive, Respiratory and Genito-urinsry organs.
4. That Catarrhal virus follows the mu-
cous membrane and causes Deafness. Dyspepsia,
Chronic Diarrhea, Bronchitis, Leucorrhea
and Consumption,
5. That Smokes. Douches, Inhalations, and
Insoluble Snuffs. cannot possibly remove In
fectious infammations from the organs named.
6. That am antidote ior Cstarrh must pos
sess an inocu1ative affinity for, and the quality
of being absorbed by, the purulent mucous
wherever located.
Based upon these plain Theories, DIR.
Wei De Meyers Catarrh Cure has proved
infallible. 1t not only re1eaves, it cures
