For your ProtectiOn.-Catarrh" "Cures" - Tonies for Catsrrh in liquid form to be taken internally, usually contain either Mercury or Iodide of Potassa, or both, which are injur- ious if too long taken. Catarrh is local, not . blood disease. caused by sudden change to cold or damp weather. It starts in the nasal passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat. Cold in the head causes excessive flow Of mucu., and, if repeatedly neglected, the re- suits of catarrh will follow; severe pain in the head, a roaring sound in the ears, bad breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis charge. The remedy should be quick to allay inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for these troubles and contains no mercury ssr any injurious drug. Price, 50 cents.
