For your PrOtecti0n.-Catarrh "Cures" or
Tonics for Catarrh 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 a local, not
q 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
mucous, 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. Theremedy should be quick TO allay
inflammation and heal the membrane. Elys
Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for
these troubles and contains no mercury
nor any injurious drug. Price, 50 cents. J
