that IL Adams EVER ventured out of his

There is more catarrh in this sec.
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years it was supposed to be incur
able. For great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease, and
prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and. therefore,
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio,
is the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t 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
