All Medical Authorities

Agree that catarrh in any and all its stages is no
more nor less than Inflammation of the lining
membrane of the nasal air passages 1t steadily tends
to liberation but never develops in such way to
call Tor constitutional Treatment what Is called
physicking the blood" The sooner all catarrh pa
tents understand this, the they will stop
spending time and money uselessly and fooshly.
Nasal catarrh and all catarrhal affections Of the
head diseases of the blood and it is serious
mistake to treat them such. No conscientious ply
stefan ever hopes attempts to do So yet patients
are sometimes msled into purchasing and using
tain advertised sarsaparas or other socaled blood
medicines IN the persuasion that to purify the blood
is to cure catarrh. As matter of course they
always disappointed, and become than de-
spondent of finally getting we'll No words of con-
domination be too for the shallow cbarla-
tans who thus gnorantly purposely deceive those
who suffer from this most tedious and distressing
complaint.
Proper local treatment" says DIR. ARush of Chi.
cago lis positively essential to success" He adds:
although 1t starts as al oeal disease catarrh sooner
or later affects the general health. Yet this is
sequence, not cause The treatment for catarrh,
then must be purely local but what kind of remedies
must be Employed On this point DR.. P W. Logan, of
hnoxVlle, Tenn, president of the American Rhino-
logical Association says In all diseases of the nasal
mucous membrane the remedy used must be non-irri-
tatlng The medical profession has been slow to learn
TINS. Nothing satisfactory be accomplished with
douches, snuffs powders, syringes, mops, brushes,
astrlngents any similar applications because they
are all irritating do not thoroughly reach the affected
surfaces and should be abandoned than fall
ures."
This being true and blood medicines being also use
ioes, 70 WAd6 conclusion are we driven! SIMPLY TO
this: That the successful remedy for nasal catarrh
must be nonirritating easy of application and one
that WILL by its own action reach all the remote
and liberated surfaces The history of the efforts
treat catarrh during the past few years obges to
admit that only remedy has completely met these
conditions and that's Elys Cream Balm, a prepare
ton widely known. This safe and pleasant remedy
has mastered catarrh as nothing else has DONE
ana both ply scans and patients freely concede this
fact. The more distressing symptoms quickly yield
to 1T, and multitude of persons who have for years
borne all the worry and pain that catarrh inhict
testify to radical and permanent wrought by it.
Ely Cream Balm is perfectly soothing and agreeable
exctes dread, dissolves the hardened accretions
cold and all external irrtants and is followed by
reaction whatever.
1t is held by eminent medical men that sooner or
later specific will be found for every disease from
which humanity suffers. Whether this be o not,
certainly the facts justify in assuming that for
tarrh at least positive already exists in Ely
Cream Balm.
