500 REWARD, 800.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catatrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires con-
stitutional treatment. Hairs Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do
ing it's work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for
any case that it fails to cure. Send for
list of testimonials. Address:
