REMARKABLE SUCCESS
Of a New Catarrh SIC.

A large and constantly increasing
ma jority of the American people are
catarrh sufferers. This is not entirely
the result of our changeable climate, but
because modern investigation has clear
" proven that many diseases, known by
other names. are really catarrh. For
merly the name catarrh was applied all
most exclusively to the common nasal
catarrh. but the throat, stomach, liver,
bladder, kidneys and intestines are sub
ject to catarrhal diseases as we'll as the
nasal passages.
In fact. wherever there is mucous
membrane there is a feeding ground for
catarrh.
The usual remedies. inhalers, sprays.
douches or powders. have been prac-
ficaIlv failures. as far as anything more
than temporary relief was concerned,
because they simply dry up the mucous
secretions without having the remOtest
effect upon the blood and liver. which
are the real sources of catarrhal dis
eases.
It has been known for some years that
the radical cure of catarrh could never
come from local applications. but from
an internal remedy. acting on the blood
