And Save Endless SUI
fering which Winter
Brings.

The most offensive Of all dis
eases becomes more intense as cold
weather approaches. In fact,
many who have been under treat
ment for so long, and during the
summer feel little discomfort from
the disease, are almost persuaded
that they have been cured. But
the first chilling blast of winter
proves that the disease is still with
them, and as the winter advances,
their Catarrh grows in severity.
Those who have felt only q slight
touch of Catarrh may be sure that
only cold weather is needed to de-
velop the disease. What appears
to be only a bad cold will prove
more difficult to cure than for
mcrlv, and will return with more
frequency, until before long the
disease is fully developed.
For years I suffered from a severe
case of Catarrh, and took several kinds
of medicines and used various local APP
plications, but they had no effect what
ever. l was induced TO try 5. 5. :.
(Swift's Specific) and after two months
was perfectly well and have never
felt any effects of the disease since.

1t is easy to see the Importance
Of prompt treatment for Catarrh.

The merchant who constantly ad-
vertises is generally the n who
does the largest cash business. he
is therefore enabled, by having cash
on hand, to discount his bills, and
the merchant who discounts his bills
is the one that the manufacturers OF
the country look up when they have
bargains to dispose of. Place your
business before the public and keep
it there.
The old State road is reported to

guarantees the quality Of every bar

which he bought at a bargain and is
