The mucous membranes all con

This is why catsrrh in the head soon
affects the throat and finally the stom
ach itself, bringing on chronic catarrh
Of the stomach, which is a most obsti.
nate form of dyspepsia.
Everybody is now well agreed that
catarrh is a blood disease and not 10.

local applications simply gives tempo

symptoms without the remotest affect
