is a great thing to be first. Nothing is of
morevalue to mankind and brings great
er happiness than a good remedy. Many
things will ,eiie1e but the one that will
cure is best. Brazilian Balm is such rem
edy. Tens of thousands have found that
it is the only thing that would cure Ca
tarrh and Asthma. For IS yrs. it has new
er failed in single case to cure Asthma,
and its record has been as wonderful in
Catarrh. Cases that had, to all appearan-
ces, run into Consumption, or where the
nostrilswere entirely stopped upor where
the poisonous pus had eaten holes into
the throat an inch deep, or where the
stomach had become liberated and raw
from swallowing the germ-laden matter,
were all permanently cured. Such a rec
ord, unknown to any other remedy, Just
ly entities the Brazilian Balm to the first
place i'll the regard of the American peo-
pie. There are 10000, 900 Catarrh victims
and countless Asthma sufferers in this
country, all of whom can be cured with
Brazilian Balm. A Sl,00 bottle of Brazil
ian Balm contains months treatment
for catarrh or asthma, and for months
we will wrap with each $l.00 bottle a
