Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that
 contain Mercury,
 as Mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole systey when entering it through the mucus surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on pre- scriptions from reputable physicians, as the damage they will do are ten fold to the good you can possibly derive from them. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufac- tured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,, Toledo, O.. contains no mercury, and is taken internally, and acts directly upon the blood and mucus surfaces of the system. In buying Halls Catarrh Cure, be sure you get the genuine, it is taken inter- nally and made in Toledo, Ohio, by F. J. Cheney & Go.
