This journal, although more particu-

the need and wants Of Its readers. let
the subject be what it may. We were

dies on the market. The production
Of preparations of injurious compost
tlon cannot, unfortunately, be stopped
or restricted at present, or until our
state legislatures can be induced to
pass such suitable and stringent laws
as will effectually prevent their ap-
pearance on the market. In the mean
time, the people must look out for
themselves. In this matter, We have
made q most careful and painstaking
investigation, realizing the confidence
that would be placed in our reply. Our
medical staff employed to make such
Investigations were most favorably
impressed with the preparation known
as Halls catarrh cure, manufactured
by F. ]. Cheney & Co. Of Toledo, Ohio.
and agreed that this peerless remedy
deserves our highest Endorsement.
| Many of the catarrh remedies on the
market contain mercury, which de-
stroys the sense of smell and deranges
the whole system when entering
through the mucous surfaces. From
analysis we found that Halls catarrh
cure contains no mercury. 1t is taken
internally. acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-
tenn. We have no interest whatever
