The Successful Remedy for
NASAL CATAPRH

must be non-irritatirg. easy of applica-
ton, and one that will by It's own action
reach the inhamed and diseased sur
faces
ELY'S CREAM BALM combines the
important requisites of quick action and
specific curative powers with perfect
safety TO the patient. This agreeable
remedy has mastered catarrh as nothing
else has, and both physicians and pat
tents freely ConCede this fact. All drug
gists cheerfully acknowledge that in it
the acme of Pharmaceutical skill has
been reached. The most distressing
symptoms quickly yield to it. In acute
cases the Balm imparts almost instant
relief.
BY Absorption.
Catarrhal sufferers should remember
that Ely's Cream Balm is the only ca
arrh remedy which is quickly a7I horo-
ughiy absorbed by the diseased membrane.
1t does not dry mp the sccrctjops, but changes
them to limpid and orless condition,
and finally to a natural and healthy
character.
The Balm can be found at any drug
store, or by sending so cents to Ely
Brothers, 50 Warren ST., New York, it
will be mailed.
Full directions with each package
Cream Balm opens and cleanses the
nasal passages, allays inflammation
thereby stopping pain i'll the head, and
protects the membrane and restores the
senses of taste and smell. The Balm is
applied directly into the nostrils.
