The fertilizing ingredients contained in
these liquids are all available, hence the
plants appropriate them in their growth

Try it by spreading pail Of skim milk or

a blood or constitutional disease, and in
order to cure it you must take internal
remedies. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken

Cure is not quack medicine. 1t was
prescribed by one OF the best ph y sicians
in this country for years, and is regu-
