There is moro Catarrh in this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it
local disease, aud prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing
to cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be constitution
al disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls

F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio,
is the only constitn :ional cure on
the market. 1t is taken internally
