La Grippe is confounded by many persons
with severe attack of fcatarrh. which in come
respects resembles the former. These indi-
viduaIs suffer severely with pain about the
forehead, eyes and ears, with soreness. in
throat and stoppage Of the nasal passages, and
in fact, are incapacitsted for work of any
kind for days at time. These are catarrhal
sufferers. Ely's Cream Balm has been used
with the best results in such cases. The
