The best medical writers claim that
the successful remedy for nasal catarrh
must be non-irritating, easy of appli-
cation, and one that will by its own
action, reach all the remote sores and
liberated surfaces. The history of
the efforts to treat catarrh during the
past few years obliges us to admit
that only one remedy has completely
met these conditions, and that is
Ely's Cream Balm. This safe and
pleasant remedy has mastered catarrh
as nothing else has ever done, and
both physicians and patients freely
concede this fact. The more distress
ing symptoms quickly yield to it.
