A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
"something New Uader
The Sum-

All doctors have tried to cnre catarrh by
the use of powders. acid gases, inhalers
and drugs in paste form. Their powders
dry up the mucous membranes causing
them To crack open and bleed. The pow
erfil acids used In the inhalers have en-
tirely eaten away-the same membranes
that their makers have aimed TO cure,
while pastes and ointnents cannot reach
the disease. An old and experienced
practitioner who has for many years made
close study and speciality of the treat
ment Of catarrh, has AT last perfected a
treatment which, when faithfully used,
not only relieves at once, but perma-
nently cures catarrh by removing the
cause, stopping the discharges, and cur
ing all inflammation. Ii is the only rem
edy known To science that actually
reaches the afflicted parts. This wonder
full remedy is known as "Snuffies, the
guaranteed eatarrh cure" and is sold at
the extremely low price of one dollar,
each package containing internal and ex-
ternal medicine sufficient for full
months treatment, and everything nee
essary TO its perfect use.
''Snuffies" is the only perfect catarrh
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 perma-
nently, and is also wonderfully quick to
relieve hay fever or cold in the head.
Catarrh when neglected often leads to

rections which accompany each package.
