Catarrh Cannot Be Cured

with local applications, as they
cannot reach the seat Of the
disease. Catarrh Is a blood
or constitutional disease, and
in order to cure it you must take IN
ternal remedies. Halls Catarrh Cure
is not a quack medicine. 1t was pre-
scribed by one of the best physicians
in this country for years, and is reg
ular prescription. 1t is composed OF
the best tonics known, combined with
the best blood purifiers, acting di-
rectly on the mucous surfaces. The
perfect com mbination of the two in
gradients is what produces such
wonderful results in curing catarrh.

"All right. boss. l know what I'm

erect mn expensive building ON IA lot in

the latter refused to sell the property,
saying that the italian fruit yender,

six years, did not want TO be disturbed.
