catarrh Cannot be Cured

with local applications, as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is
a blood or constitutional disease, and in
order to cure it you must take internal
remedies. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, and acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces. 1t was prescribed
by one of the best physicians in this
country for years and is a regular pre-
scription. 1t is composed of the best
tones known, combined with the best
blood purifiers, acting directly on the
mucous surfaces. The perfect combipa-
ton of the two ingredients is what pro-
duces such wonderful results in curing
catarrh. Send for testimonial, free.

ing conditions Mr. Standish is bound
TO do S400 worth of development work a.
once. He has the privilege of putting uI
