Hundreds Of Dollars

ru-na Cured.

A neglected cold is frequently tho
cause of death.
It's more often, however, the cause OF
some chronic disease.
There is not nm organ in the body but
what is liable to become seriously de-
ranged by u neglected cold Diseases
OF the kidneys, bladder and digestive
organs are all frequently the result O,
a neglected cold.
Hundreds of dollars are spent ondot-
tors and medicines trying to cure these
diseases, butuntil thetrue cause of them
is discovered, there will be no use in
using medicine.
Dyspepsia medicine, diarrhma medi.
cine and constipation medicine is of no
good whatever when catarrh is the
cause. The catarrh must lie treated.
The cause being removed, the derange-
ments will disappear.
