Beware OF OintmentS for Catarrh That
Contain Mercury,

as mercury will surely destroy the sense Of
smell and completely derange the whole s,vs-
tenn when entering it through the mucus
surfaces. Such articles should never be US
ed except on prescriptions 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 d 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

Our baby, when two months old,
was attacked with Scrofuls, which for

which soon cured her entirely, and
she is now hale and hearty.
