Not a Local
Disease

Because catarrh affects your head. 1t is not
therefore local disease If it did not exist in your
blood, it could not manifest itself in your nose
The blood now in your brain is before you finish
reading this article, back in your heat again
and soon distributed to your liver. stomach, kid
neys, aud so on. Whatever impurities the
blood does not carry away, cause what we cali
diseases. Therefore when you have catarrh of
the head, a snuff or other inhalent can at most
give only temporary relief. The only way to
effect cure is to attack the disease in the blood
by taking constitutional remedy like Hoods
Sarsaparilla, which eliminates all impurities and
thus permanently cures catarrh. The success
OF Hoods Sarsaparilla as remedy for catarrh is
youched for by many people it has cured.

A Sure Cure for Corns,

A Pomona Cal dispatch to the San
Francisco Chronicle says: "Ebon Il.
Marshall, of Rincon, Pomona Valley,
is farmer and has large landed in
terests, and for years he has had corns
upon the little toes of his feet, and az
times has suffered so severely with
them as to abandon his work on his
farm. This year he has suffered more
than ever. Corn salves aud other
remedies had no permanent effect.
Last week Marshall resolved to have
both his little toes cut off in order to
escape suffering from his cOrns, and
today he had the operation performed.
He will not be able to wear shoes for
several weeks, but he says he is glad
that his corns have gone for good"
