PROPER TREATMENT FOR
CATARRH

The first thing to be done in the
treatment of Catarrh is to begin the
use of a medicine that will have a
direct effect on the source OF the dis
ease; in no other way can any cura-
tive progress be made. S. S. S. does
this more quickly and satisfactorily
than any other medicine, It is the
most penetrating Of all blood puri-
fiers, thoroughly, yet gently, expel!-
ing all catarrhal matter and impuri-
ties from the circulation, and by its
fine tonic properties strengthening
and building up the system in such
healthy manner that it is. enabled to
overcome the depressing effects OF
Catarrh. NSome local treatment Is
often desired to open the air passages
Of the head and nose and relieve the
congestion and "tickiing" OF the
throat, and other unpleasant symp-
toms. There are many helpful
measures which may beresorted to,
and there are others which may be
harmful, and to aid Catarrh sufferers
we have prepared a special treatise
on the disease which will be Of great
value to any who suffer with this
trouble. This book together with
any medical advice will be sent free
to all who write and request it. Take
S. s. S. regularly and according to
directions, and it will certainly re-
move the cause and cure your Ca
tarrh. S. SIS. issold at drug stores.
