Beware of ointments for Catarrh

that contain mercury, as mercury will
surely destroy the sense of smell and
completely dcrange the whole system
when entering it through the mucous
surfaces. Such articles should never be
used except on prescriptions from reput-
able physicians, as the damage they will
do is ten-fold to the good you can possi-
bly, derive from them. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by +. j. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, o., contains no mercury,
and is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces Of
