TO be cured of catarrh' If you or your
friends have this disease, you know how
disagreeable 1t is. Its symptoms are
inhamed eyes, the throbbing temples
ringing noises in the ears, headaches,
capricious appetite, and constant dis
charge OF mucus. Fortunately its cure
is not a question of what you will give
Tut what you will take. If you will
take Hood 5 Sarsapaiilla, the great con
stitutional remedy, viii thoroughly
purihes, enriChes al, Vi'aliIes the

and permanently cured. The good
blood which Hood S Sarsaparilla makes,
