There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put to- gether, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For great nlGny years doctors pronounced it local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by COR stantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced 1t ineurable.

Cheney & Co.,, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testi- monials. Address F. J.
