The reader of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all stages, and
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutioual treatment. Hail. Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting di-
rectly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system thereby des-
troying the foundations of the disease
and giving the patient strength by
building up 1.-THE constitution and as
sisting nature in doing its work. The

fails to cure. Send for list of testi.
