The reader 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 maternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires con
stltutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting d.
rectly on the blood and mucous sur
faces OF the system, thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease, and Civ
ing the patient strength by building
ap. the constitution and assisting ma
ture In doing its work. The proprie-
tors have SO much faith in its curative
powers that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to
cure. Send for list OF testimonials.

Poor babyl Your pity goes
out to it and rightly. To be
thin, for a baby, is to be de-
priYed Of its natural ease; to
suffer and not be able to feel
1t; to wear a sad pinched face;
to live on the edge Of sick
ness; to grow imperfectly;
and to lose the power of re-
sisting disease. Whena baby
IS thin it needs more fat than
it gets from its food; it is
starved, fat-starved. SCOTS

it can have; the fat it needs.
