There is more Catarrh in this section
Of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease and prescrib-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing 10 cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven Catarrh to be constitutional
disease and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufacted by F. j. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only Constitu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-
TEN. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for
