Catarrh Cannot Be Cured

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as
they cannot reach the seat of the dis
ease, Catarrh is blood or constitutional
disease, and in order to cure IT you must
take internal remedies. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, and acts d.
rectly on the blood, and mucous sur
faces. Hall's OatarTh Cure is not a
quack medicine. It was prescribed by
one of the best physicians in this coun-
try for years and Ii regular prescrip-
ton. It is composed of the best tonics
known, combined with the best blood
purifiers, acting directly on the mucous
surfaces. The perfect combination of
the two ingredients is what produces
such wonderful results in curing Ca
tarrh. Send for testimonials free.
