The readers 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 it's stages, and that is catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh
being constitutional disease, re-
quires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucus surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing it's
work. The proprietors have so
much faith IN it's curative pow
ers that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails
to cure. Send for list of testi-

vFive years ago this last fall was taken
down with a fever and was very bad for
several MONTHS" writes Mrs. Henrietta Bell.
of Diamond. Ohio. She continues: 'Finally
recovered from the fever, then my lungs
became very bad The doctor said I had
consumption, and that he had done all he
could for me. and he did not think that
could get we'll. My case was a very danger
Gus one. Became very weak, had night
sweats. also very bad cough, night and day.
At times would spit blood. [ felt as though
my time on Garth would be short. Requested
my husband to get me bottle Of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery and perhaps it
would help me. Before L had taken one
bottle my cough was almost gone. The next
to disappear we're the night-sweats. 1 am
almost sure that if it had not been for your
medicine would not have been here to-day"
If mothers will only write to DR.. Pierce
concerning the ailments of their family he
! will send them sound and valuable advice
in a plain sealed envelope, and without
any charge whatever. His remarkably
wide experience has qualified him to deal
with diseases which battle the local prac-
titioner. Address DR.. R. V. Pierce, Buff
