There Is more Catarrh In this sec ton of the country than all other dis eases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be in- curable. For a great many years doc tors pronounced 1t local disease an prescribed local remedies, and by con stantly failing to cure with local treat ment, pronounced 1t incurable. Scienc has proven catarrh to be a constitu- tional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Halls Ca tarrh Cure, manufactured by r. J. Cheney & Co.,, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the mar, ket. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful.
