4 WORTHY SUCCESSOR
Something New Under The Sun.

All Doctors have tried to cure CATARRH by
the use of powders, acid gases, inhalers and
drugs in paste FORM Their powders dry up
the mucuOus membranes causing them to crack
open and bleed The powerful acids used in
the inhalers have entirely eaten away the same
mem branes that their makers have aimed to
cure, while pastes and ointments cannot reach
the disease. Ar old and experienced practi-
ciOner who has for many years made a close
study and speciality of the treatment of
CATARRH, has at last perfected Treatment
which when faithfully used, not only relieves
at once, but permanently cures catarrh, by re-
moving the cause stopping the discharges,
and curing all inflammation 1t is the only re-
NEEDY known to science that actually reaches
the afflicted parts. This wonderful remedy is
known as ''Snuffies the Guaranteed Catarrh

nal and external medicine sufficient for a full
months treatment and everything necessary

.sSNUFFLES" 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 int1am-
alton quickly and permanently and is also
wonderfully quick to relieve Hay Fever or
cold iii the head
Catarrh when neglected often leads to con-
