WHAT cAIARRH IS

1t has been said that every third

Science has shownt that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness

the form of snuffs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the

medicinal food and building-tonic, free
