There is more catarrh in this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pro-
nOunced it a local disease, and
prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven Ca
tarrh to be a constitutional dis
ease, and, therefore, requires
constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
f. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops
to 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,

Centuries ago, people used to
fear what they called the pes
thence. "Black Death" was the
most terrible thing in the world
to them. They feared it as peo-
pie now fear the cholera and
yellow fever. And yet there is a
thing that causes more misery
and more deaths than any of
these. 1t is so common that nine
tenths of all the sickness in the
world is traceable to it. 1t is
merely that simple, common
thing constipation. 1t makes peo-
pie listless, causes dizziness,
headaches, loss of appetite, loss
of sleep, foul breath and distress
after eating. The little help
needed is furnished by DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. One pill is a
gentle laxative and two a mild
cathartic. Once used, always in
favor. If you are careless enough
to let an unscrupulous druggist
sell you something on which he
makes more money, it is your owl
fault if you do not get well. Be-
sure and get DR.. Pierce's Pleas
