Pretty strong
reasons for trying DR.. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy. In the
first place, it cures your ca
tarrh no matter how bad
your case, or of how long
standing. 1t doesn't simply
palliate 1T cures. If you
believe it, so much the bet
ter. There's nothing more
to be said. You get it
for SO cents, from all drug
gists.
But perhaps you won't
believe it. Then there's
another reason for trying
it. Show that you can't be
cured, and you'll get $500.
It's a plain business offer.
The makers of DR.. Sage's
Remedy will pay you that
amount if they can't cure
you. They know that they
can you think that they
can't. If they're wrong,
you get the cash. If you're
wrong, you're rid of catarrh.
