There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For great many years doctors pro- nounced it a local disease, and prescri- bed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitu- tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney X Co.,, :, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken inter- nally in doses from 10 drops to tea spoonful It acts directly upon the blood and mucus surface of the system.
