Mrs. Josephine Polhil1, of Due West,
s. c., was for years a sufferer from
this distressing complaint, and has
learned by experience its tortures.
She says:
For years l was the victim of the
worst case of catarrh that l ever
heard of. l was treated by several
doctors, and took numerous medicines
claiming to cure the disease, but in
stead of being benefited my condi-
ton grew worse steadily.
1.-THE trouble became so deep-seated
that l was entirely deaf in one ear.
1t is difficult to describe my condition,
but some idea of the ravages of the
disease can be obtained when l state
that all the inside of my nose, includ-
ing part of the bone sloughed off. 1t
can be readily understood how offen-
sive all this was, and how unbearab1e
my condition became. When the
disease had gone this far the physi-
clan gave me up as incurab1e, and
told me | would never be any better.
Reading of many similar cases be-
ing cured by S. S. S., determined to
try it as a last resort. | soon discov-
cred that all my former treatment
had been wrong, as the disease was in
the blood, and only a blood remedy
could cure it. I began to improve at
once, and grew better as l continued
to take S. S. S. 1t seemed to get at
the seat of the disease, and after a
few weeks treatment l was entirely
cured. and for more than seven years
have had no sign of the disease"
Catarrh is one of the deep-seated
blood diseases, and only a thorough
blood remedy will have any effect
upon it. S. S. S. is the only blood
remedy that is guaranteed

Deaf
From Catarrh.

The sufferer from catarrh, perhaps,
meets with more encouragement in
seeking eure than those afflicted
with all other ailments. After ex-
hausting the skill of the best physi-
clans, and inhaling various mixtures,
paying out large sums for doctors
fees and medicines, he finds himself
either as bad off as at first or great
deal worse.
The cause of this is easily explained.
The disease is in the blood, and only a
real blood remedy can possibly have
any effect upon it The doctors being
unable. with their stereotyped RENE
dies of potash and mercury, to cure
diseases of the blood, direct their
efforts toward treating the symp-
toms of the disease, and ignoring it's
cause. The inhaling of various sprays,
and use of washes, etc, is but SUI
perfcia1 and temporary treatment,
and cannot possibly effect cure.
