There is more Catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
Last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it q local dis
ease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it
incuraDle. Science has proven ca
tarrh 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. 1t
is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspoon. 1t acts direct
" on the blood ana mucous sur

hundred dollars for any case it fails
to cure. Send for circulars and ties
