PROPER TREATMENT FOR
CA TARRH

The first thing to be done in the
treatment OF Catarrh is to begin the
use of 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, 1t is the
most penetrating of all blood puri-
6ers, thoroughly, yet gently, expell-
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. Some local treatment is
often desired to open the air passages
Of the head and nose and relieve the
congestion and tickling" OF the
throat, and other unpleasant synp-
toms, There are many helpful meas
ures which may be resorted to, and
there are others which may be harm
ful, and to aid Catarrh sufferers we
have prepared 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 free to all who
write and request it. Take S. S. S.
regularly and according to directions,
and it will certainly remove the cause
aud cure your Catarrh. S. S. S. is
