CATAlRE

Catarrh has become such a common
disease that person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
with. It is customary to speak of Catarrh
as nothing more serious than a bad cold,
a simple Inflammation of the nose and
throat It is, IN fact, a complicated and
very dangerous disease; if not at first, it
very soon becomes so.
The blood IS quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions, and the poison through
the general circulation Is carried to all
parts of the system
Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis-
factory and disappointing, because they do
not reach the seat of the trouble. S. S. S.
does. It c1eanses the blood of the poison
and eliminates from the system all catar-
rha1 secretions, and thus cures thoroughly
and permanently the worst cases.
