There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
Imposed to be incurable. For a great many
fears doctors pronounced it a local disease,
md prescribed local remedies, and by con.
antly failing to cure with local treatment,
denounced it incurable. Science has proven
AtarTh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore, requires constitutional treatment.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. It is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the bleod
and mucous surfaces Of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and testi-
monials. Address r. j.. Cheney & Co., To-
ledo, O. Sold by Druggists, T5c.
