ment Of inebriates. The faithful use

All Doctors have tried to cure
CATARRH by the use OF powders, in
halers, acid eases and drugs in paste
form. Their powders dry up the mu-
cous membranes causing them to crack
open and bleed. The powerful acids
used in the inhalels have entirely eaten
away the same membranes 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 a close study
and speciality OF the treatment of
CATARRH, has ut last perfected
treatment which, when faithfully used,
not only relieves at once, but permanent
~ cures CATARRH, by removing the
cause, stopping the discharges, and
curing all inflammation 1t is the only
remedy known to science that actually
reaches tie afflicted parts. This won-
dcrful remedy is known as 'SNUFFLES,
the GUARANTEED CATARRH CURB"
and is sold al the extremely low price of

now recognized as the only safe and
positive cure for that annoying and dis
gushing disease. 1t cures all inilamma-
tion quickly and permanently and is also
