Beware of 0intments For Catarrh
That Contain Mercury

as mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely de-
ran?e the whole system when en-
tering through the mucous surfaces.
Such articles should never be used
except on prescriptions from reput-
able physicians, as the damage they
will do is ten fold to the good you
can possibly derive from them.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. j. Cheney Co., Toledo, O.,
contains no mercury, and is taken
internally acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. In buying Halls Catarrh
Cure be sure you get the genuine.
