Catarrh

The cause exists in the blood, ia
what causes inflammation of the
mucous membrane.
1t is therefore impossible to cure
the disease by local applications.
1t is positively dangerous to neg
lect it, because it always affects
the stomach and deranges the gen.
eral health, and it is likely to de-
velop into consumption.
Many have been radically and permanently
cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla. II cleanses the
blood and has a peculiar Alternative and tonic
effect. r. Long, California Junction, Iowa
writes: al had catarrh three years, lost my APP
petite and could not sleep. My head panied
me and l felt bad all over. / took Hoods Sar
sapariila and now have a good appetite, sleep
well, and have no symptoms of catarrh."
