There is more Catarrh in this
section of the country than all 9th
ers put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it To-
cal disease and prescribed local
remidies, and by constantly failing
to cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitu-
tional disease and therefore re
quires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufac-
tured by F J Cheney & Co., To-
ledo, Ohio, is the only constitutions
al cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops
