There is more Catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be IN
durable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incur
able. Science has proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Care, manu-
faciured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio is the only constitution
al cure on the market. It is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on
