Medical writers claim that the successful

The Puzzle Solved.

Perhaps no local disease has puzzled and
bafiied the medical profession more than
nasal catarrh. While not Immediately fatal
it is among the most nauseOus and disgust
ing ills the flesh is heir to, and the records
show very few or no cases Of radical cure of
chronic catarrh by any of the many modes
of treatment until the introduction of Ely's

of this preparation has been most gratifying
