Catarrh Means Danger.

Because if unchecked it may lead
directly to consumption. Catarrh
is caused by impure blood. This
fact is fully established. There
fore, it is useless to try TO cure
catarrh by outward applications
or inhaiants. The true way 90
cure catarrh is to purify the
blood. Hoods Sarsapari!la, the
great blood purifier, cures catarrh
by its power to drive out all i'm
purities from the blood. Thous-
andS of people testify that they
have been perfectly and perma-
nently cured OF catarrh by Hood 5
Sarsaparilla.
