800 Reward, 500.

The readers OF this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure In all Its stages, and
that Is CAtarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure Is
the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. C0tnrrh being q
constitutional disease, requires consti-
tutIonal treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure Ia taken internally, acting d.
rectiy upon the blood and mucous sur
faces OF the system, thereby destroying
tho foundation OF the disease, and Civ
ing the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature in
doing It's work. The proprlctorB have so
much faith In It's curative powers that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that It fails to cure. Send for list
OF testimonials.
