eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For a great many years doctors
pronounced 1t a local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies, and, by CON
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be constitu-
tional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca,

constitutional cure on the market. It
is taken internally in doses from 10
