A Specific Blood Is11purity


Catarrh is a deep-seated blood dis
ease, one which no amount of local
treatment will ever permanently
cue The beneficial effects of wash
es, sprays, limitations, etc.. are only
temporary, and when left off the old
condition returns, because the blood
is infected with catarrhal matter and
impurities. This impure condition
Of the circulation irritates and in
flames the delicate mucous men,
branes and tissues and produces the
we'll known symptoms of ringing

the throat, headaches, watery eyes,
partial deafness, sore throat, general
impairment of health, etc. This con-
dition will remain, growing worse as
long as the catarrhal matter is al
lowed to remain in the blood. Being
a specific blood impurity, there Is
only one way to cure Catarrh, and
that is to purity the blood. Nothing
