catarrh is Found Everywhere.

Catarrh is at home, anywhere and
everywhere. While more common in
cold, changeable climates. it is by no
means confined to them. but is prevalent
In every State and Territory In the
Union.
The common definition OF catarrh is a
chronic cold in the head, which, If long
neglected, often destroys the sense of
smell and hearing; but there are many
other forms Of the disease. even more
obstinate and dangerous.
Catarrh OF the throat and bronchial
tubes as well as catarrh OF the stomach
and liver are almost as common as nasal
catarrh and generally more difficult to
cure.
Catacrh is undoubtedly a blood disease
and can only be successfully eradicate0
by an internal treatment Sprays, washes
and powders are useless as far as reach
ing the real seat Of the disease is con-
cerned.

these tablets to contain certain anti-sep.
