The readeTsof this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to cure IN all its
stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the medical
paternity. Catarrh being a constitutional dis
ease, requires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foundation
os the disease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing its work. The proprietors have
SO much faith in its curative powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollors for any case that it
ails to cure. Send for list OF testimonials.
