Fortner at New York.

l There is more catarrh in this sec. tion of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney X Co.,, Toledo, Ohio, js the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally m doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mu- cous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for cir culars and testimonials.
