CATARRH LEADS
TO CONSUMPTION

Catarrh is as much a blood disease
as scrofula or rheumatism. II may be
relieved. but it cannot be removed by
simply local treatment II breaks
down the general health, weakens the
lung tissues, and leads to consump-

Hoods Sarsaparilla is so successful
in the treatment of catarrh that II
is known as the best remedy for this
disease. 1t purifes the blood. Ask
