NEVER open your mouth except to put
something TO eat into it," is an excellent
motto for the gossip and the sufferer from
catarrh. But while the gossip is practically
incurabe, there is no excuse for any ones
suffering longer from catarrh DIR. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy is an unfailing cure for that
offensive disease. 1t heals the diseased
membrane and removes the dull and de-
pressed sensations which always attend ca
tarrh. A short trial of this valuable prepa-
ration will make the sufferer feel like new
being.
