The Severity of this Dis.
ease Increases Each
Winter.

Though the disagreeable effects OF Ca
tarrh are felt all the year round, cold
and unpleasant weather aggravates
the disease and it is during the winter
season that its seyerest form is felt
Each succeeding year seems to in
teusify the disease so that il gradually
fastens its hold upon the sufferer with
a grasp that becomes tirmer each sea-
son.
Catarrh often appears as only a cold
at first, and is hardly noticed. But
gradually the cold returns, and it is
more difficult to cure, and stays longer
than formerly These symptoms can
not be mistaken; they mark the first
appearance of disease that will de-
velop in severity and stubbornness, and
which it is impossible to cure with the
local treatment of sprays, washes, and
similar applications. Being a disease
of the blood, only blood remedy can
have the slightest effect upon it, SIS.
(Swift's Specific) is the only cure for
Catarrh, because it is the only blood
remedy which goes to the seat of all OBJ
stinate cases, and forces out the disease.
Mr.. T. A. Williams, leading mer-
chant of Spartanburg, s. c., writes:
"For four years had nasal catarrh,
and though the case was mild one at
first, it was not long until l noticed that
it was gradually growing worse. OF
