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 its
stages and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a cunstitu-
tional disease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and mucous
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 its work The
proprietors have so much faith in its
curative powers, that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send
