rant balm dissolves by the heat OF
the nostrils ;penetrates and heals the
inflamed, swollen membrane whach
lines the nose, head and throat; clears
the air passages; stops nasty as
charges and a feeling OF cleansing
soothing relief comes Immediately.
Don't lay awake tonight struggling
for breath, with head stuffed; nostrils
closed, hawking and blowing. Catarrh
or a cold, with its running nose, foui
mucous dropping into the throat, and
raw dryness is distressing but truly
needless.
Put your faith--just once-in "Ely's
Cream Balm" and your cold or ca
tarrh will surely disappear.
