A Worthy Successor.
SOmethIna NeM Under Ihe sun.

All doctors have tried TO cure
catarrh bv the use of powders, acid
gases, inhalers and drugs in paste
form. Their powders dry up the
mucuous embranes causing them to
crack open and bleed. The powerful
acids used in the inhalers have en-
tirely eaten away the same mem
branes that their makers have aimed
to cure, while pastes and ointments
cannot reach the disease. An old and
experienced practitioner who has for
many years made close study and
speciality Of the treatment Of catarrh,
has at last perfected a treatment
which when faithfully used, not only
relieves at once, but permanently
cures catarrh, by removing the cause,
stopping the discharges and curing
All Inflammation. 1t is the only rem
edy known C SCIENCE that actually
reaches the afflicted parts. This won
derful remedy is known as "Snutiles

nal and external medicine sufficient

cure ever made and is now recognized
as the only safe and positive cure for
that annoying and disgusting disease.
1t cures all Inflammation quickly and
permanently and is also wonderfully
quick TO relieve Hay Fever or Cold in
the Head.
