BOB INGERSOLL,

Some months ago it was
announced that Bob Ingersoll
was broken down with some
malady of the throat, and that
he would never be able to speak
in public again. This was the
dictum of one set Of doctors.
but another set who examined
his throat pronounced the
trouble to be a small warty
eXcrescence which was re-
moved, and Bob's throat was
as well as it ever was. About
half of the so called bronchial
troubles come from some trifiipg
cause which. if attended to, eau
be cured. but if harshly dealt
with by gargles and the like.
tend to inf anne the tissues and
make the trouble chronic. Most
of these maladies can be cured
by using Reid's German Cough
and Kidney Cure. 1t is I'm

action upon the throat. 1t

Catarrh Can't be Cured

with local applications. as they cannot
reach the seat Of the disease. Catsrrh is
blood or constitutional disease, and in
order to cure it you have to take internal
remedies. Halls Cstsrrh cure is taken
internally, and acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh
Cure is no quack medicine. 1t was pre-
scribed by one of the best physicians IN
this country for years; and is a regular
prescription. 1t is composed of the best
tonics known, combined with the best
blood purifiers, acting directly on the
mucous surfsces. The perfect combina-
ton of the two ingredients is what pro-
duces such wonderful results in curing
catarrh. Send for testimonials free.
