There is more Catarrh in this
section Of the country than all 9TH
er diseases put together, and until
the last few years was supposed to
be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it a local
disease and prescribed local RENE
dies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronoun-
ced it incurable. Science has prov
en- Catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. ].
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only Constitutional cure on the mar.
ket. It is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. 1t
acts directly on the blood and mu-
cous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any
case 1t fails to cure. Send for cir
