one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages,
and that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure Is tho only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Ca
tarrh being constitutional dis
ease, 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 foun-
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the
constitution nd assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors have
so much faith in its curative powers
that they offer One Hundred Dol
lars for any case that it fails to cure.
