The best medical writers claim that the
successful remedy for nasal catarrh must
be non-irritating. easy of application,
and one that will, by its own action.

treat catarrh during the past few years
obliges us to admit that only one remedy
has completely met these conditions, and
that is Ely'B Cream Balm. This safe and
