There is more Catarrh in this sec
tion of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by constant
ly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. j. Cheney
& Co., Toledo, Ohio, IS the only const-
itutiohal cure on the market. 1t is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops
to teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on
the blood mucous surfaces of the sys-
TEN. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials.
