Catarrh Cannot be Cured

with local applications, as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is
blood or constitutional disease, and in

remedies. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken

and mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh
Cure is not quack medicine. 1t was

in this country tor years, and is regular
prescription. 1t is composed of the best
tones known, combined with the best
blood purifiers, acting directly on the
mucous surfaces. The perfect combina-
ton of the two ingredients is what pro-
duccs such wonderful results in curing
catarrh. Send Tor testimonials, free.

Why Attempt to Cure

catarrh by the use of socaed blood
remedies? That catarrh is not caused
by blood troubles is sell-evidcnt when
you reflect that attacks are always due
to sudden climatic changes or exposure,
and occur most frequently during the
winter and spring, though the blood is
as puren summer or tall. A remedy which
quickly relieves and cures the catarrhal
attacks has been found in Ely's Cream
Balm.

Letters to ST. Johnsbury People.

MEssRs. +. T. & H. X. IDE.
Gentlemen.-One of the things against
which you grocers must contend i'll intro
ducing our Harmless soap is the price.
Most people think soap is thing they
ought to buy cheap. They think low
priced soaps are economical, and high
priced are extravagant. Never was the
truth more completely turned around.
The soap that costs most by the pound
costs least by the year for two reasons:
First reason: They won't use so many
pounds it.
Second reason; 1t won't rot clothes,
To convince customers that high
priced soap costs no more than lower
priced, you may sell Harmless on posi-.
tive guarantee that one bar (Sc.) will
outwash two sc. cakes. If they say it
doesn't, give them back &c. on each bar
and charge to us.
Yours truly,
{. II. Posi- & Co.
