No one doubts that DIR.
Sage's Catarrh Remedy really
cures Catarrh, whether the
disease be recent or Of long
standing, because the makers
of it clinch their faith in it
with $500 guarantee, which
isn't a mere newspaper guar
antee, but son call )" in a
moment.
That moment is when you
prove that its makers can't
cure you.
The reason for their faith
is this:
DR.. Sage's remedy has
proved itself the right cure
for ninety nine out of one
hundred cases Of Catarrh in
the Head, and the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton can afford to take the
risk of your being the one
hundredth.
The only question is-are
you willing to make the test,
if the makers are willing to
take the risk ?
If so, the rest is easy. You
pay your druggist SO cents
and the trial begins.
If you're wanting the $500
