Danger from Catarrh.

The most important feature about
that very common complaint, ca
tarrh in the head, is it's tendency to
into some other more seri-
GUS and dangerous disease. The
foul matter dropping from the head
into the bronchial tubes or lungs is
very liable to lead to bronchitis or
that destroyer which
causes more deaths in this country
than any other disease. AS catarrh
in impurities in the blood,
local applications can do but little
good. The common sense method
OF treatment Is to purify the blood,
and for this. purpose there's no prep
aration superior to Hoods Sarsap-
arilla. The powerful action Of this
upon the blood expels
every impurity, and by so doing
cures catarrh and gives health to
the entire organism.
