CATARRH
4 SYSTEMIC BLOOD DISEASE

Catarrh is not merely an affection
of the mucous membranes; il is a
deep-seated blood disease in which the
entire circulation and greater part of
the system are involved. 1t is more
commonly manifested in the head,
nose and throat, because of the sensi-
tive nature of these membranes, and
also because they are more easily
reached by irritating influences from
the outside. The symptoms of Ca
tarrh, such as a tight feeling in the
head, nose stopped up, throat clogged
and dry, hacking cough, ETC., show
that the tiny blood vessels of the mu-
Cous membranes are badly cougested
and infamed from the impurities in
the circulation. To cure Catarrh per-
manently the blood must be purified
and the system cleaused of all un-
healthy matter. Nothing equals
