A DEAD SHOT

right at the seat of difficulty, is accom-
plished by the sure and steady aim Of
DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. Don't
fool, around with pop-g,n, nor
Flint-lock.r when this reliable "Win-
CHESTER il within reach!
DIR. Sagc's treatment of Catarrh In the
Head is far superior to the ordinary, and
when directions are reasonably well
followed, results in o permanent cure.
Don't longer be Indifferent to the vcri-
fled claims of this unfailing Remedy.
The worst forms of Catarrh disap-
pear with the use of DR.. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy. Its mild, soothing, cleansing
and healing properties effect n perfect
and permanent cure, no matter how bad
the case, or Of how long standing. It's
a remedy that succeeds where every
thing else has failed. Thousands Of
such cases can be pointed out. That's
the reason its makers back their faith in
it with money. They offer $500 reward
for a case of Catarrh which they can
not cure.
It's a medicine that allows them to
take such 4 risk.
Doesn't common sense lead you to
take such a medicine?
'An advertising fake" you say.
Funny, isn't It, how some people pre-
fer sickness to health when the remedy
is positive and the guarantee absolute.
Wise men don't put money back OF
"fakes." And taking" doesn't pay.
