THE BREATH of chronic catarrh patient is oft.
on so offensive that he cannot go into society and
he becomes au object of di. gust. After time ul-
ceration sets in, the spongy bones are attacked,
and frequently, entirely destroyed. A constant
source of discomfort is the dripping of the puru-
lent secretons into the throat, sometimes produc-
ing iuveterate bronchitis which in its turn has
been the exciting cause of pulmonary disease.
The brilliant results which have attended its use
for years past properly designate Ely's' Cream
Balm as by far the best if not the only real cure
for Hay fever, rose cold and catarrh.
