THE MISTAKE OF MILLIONS

Inasmuch as nine out OF every ten suffer
from catarrh, and invariably use the old
methods, such as the nasal douche snuffs,
balms and other irritating local applications,

lions mistake the treatment of this disease.
We say mistake the treatment, because the
symptoms OF catarrh, as stopping up OF the
nose, dull frontal headache. dropping OF
mucous into the throat and causing derange-

stitutonal disturbance and the necessity of
an internal remedy.
