There is more Catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For a great many years doc
tors pronounced it a local disease, and
prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitu-
tional disease, and, therefore, requires
constitutional treatment. HALLS Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J..
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional ure OF the mar
ket. 1t is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. 1t
acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and
testimonials. Address,
