Tho Danger VI Catarrh OlntmentR ThSt
Contain Mercury.
This journal, although more parttcu-
larly devoted to all that interests
finance, commerce and manufactur-
Ing, Is nevertheless always awake to
the need and wants Of Its readers, lot
the subject be what 1t may. We were
asked to investigate and report upon
the merits OF the various catarrh reme-
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 most careful and palnstaking
Investigation, realizing the confidence
that would be placed In our reply. Our
medical stan employed to make such
Investigations were most favorably
Impressed with the preparation known
as Halls catarrh cure manufactured
by f. ]. Cheney g. Co. Of Toledo, Ohio,
and agreed that this peerless remedy
deserves our highest Endorsement.
Many Of tho 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-
TEN. We have no interest whatever
in this matter beyond faithfully serv-
Ing our readers, and as our indorse-
ment is extended without reward Of
any kind, and Is wholly unsolicited by
this company, and will be received
with the full credence that all our
statements have met with for the past
eighteen years.-Southern Review OF
Commerce.
