CATAkRH,--Without assuming to
write out a thesis of this universal all
ment, facts warrant our saying that it
seems to US there never was season when
it was SO prevalent as the present.
The above is preliminary to the fol-
lowing, viz: Tha, Messrs. Hood & Co.,
of Lowell, believe that the best way to
treat Catarrh, and the only way to get
permanent relief, is through the blood.
A cons itutional disease requires q con-
sti,utioual remedy. Hoods Sarsaparills
is . blood purifier and consli utional
medicine that can be relied upon, and has
cured numerous cases of Catarrh in its
various forms. We think this claim q
reasonable one and gladly giveit room in
our columns.
