There is more Catarrh in this section of gether, and until the last few years was sup posed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by con- stantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven Catarrh to be constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,, Toledo, Ohio, is the only con- stitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to tea spoonful. It acts directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address, F. J.
