Catarrh Can be Cured

By eradicating from the blood the
scrofulous taints which cause it. Hood S
Sarsaparilla cures catarrh, promptly
and permanently. because it strikes at
the root of the trouble.
The rich. pure blood which it makes,
circulating through the delicate pas
sages of the mucous membrane, soothes
and rebuilds the tissues, gives them a
tendency to health instead of disease,
and ultimately curing the affection.
At the same time Hoods SaIsaparilla
strengthens, invigorates and energies
the whole system and makes the debil-
itated victim of catarrh feel that new
life has been impaired.
Do not daily with snuffs, inhalants
or other local applications. but take
Hoods Sarsaparilla and cure catarrh
absolutely and surely by removing the
causes which produce it.
