EASY AND SURE WAY
TO CURE COLDS
Don't Neglect Cold, Ely's Cream
Balm Will Stop it in the
Sneezing Stage.

cold generally attacks the weak
est part, affecting the eyes and ears
in some and producing nasal catarrh
and throat troubles in others. A
cold is due to an inflammation of the
membrane lining the air passages,
and may be promptly cured with a
little Ely's Cream Balm, which i'm
mediately relieves the Inflammation
and all the distressing symptoms,
such as sneezing, coughing, running
at the nose and eyes, hoarseness,
sore throat, fever and headache.
One reason why this pure. antisep-
tic Balm acts so quickly is because 1t
is applied directly to the tender, sore
surfaces.
Even in severe, chronic cases Of
eatarrh, Ely's Cream Balm never
fails to quickly and effectually check
the poisonous discharge which clogs
the head and throat, causing the dis
gushing hawking, splitting and blow
ing of the nose. This remedy not
only drives out the disease, but
heals and strengthens the weakened
membranes, thus ending catarrh.
Catarrh is filthy, disgusting
disease. Don't put up with it anoth-
er day. Get so cent bottle OF
Eiy's Cream Balm from your drug
gist and see how quickly you will be
relieved. 1t is perfectly harmless. -
