 Men of science and students of 1nedi
 cine have tried in vain for years to find positive cure. but it has remained for one living in our own generation to fin ally discover what he claims to be cer. tain remedy for Catarrh of any organ of the body. His claims are vouched for by the words of hundreds of people whose honesty cannot be doubted; people who have suffered for years and tried every other known re m edy without avail; people who had not faith at first but
 were finally cured and convinced of the
 wonderful power of this new discovery
 in medical science. .
 The famous physician to whom the
 credit belongs for this wonderful devel- opment and addition to twentieth-cent- ury science is DR. J. A. JONAS, > Fredericksen Bldg, South Bend, Inc He will send anyone who is suffering fro Catarrh free treatment to prove in, merits and wonderful curative properties
 of this new discovery. .
