The readers of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to cure in all Its
stages. and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being consttu-
tional disease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system. thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving the patti
ent strength by building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its work. The pro-
prietors have so much faith in its curative pow
ers, that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that 1t fails to cure. Send for list of testi-
monials.
