DR.. Bell, tall, white-haired man,

The instrument which he used was

CATARRB LEADS
TO CONSUMPTION

Catarrh is as much blood disease
as scrofula or rheumatism. 1t may be

the general health, weakens the lung
tissues, and leads to consumption.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is so successful
in the treatment of catarrh that it is
known as the best remedy for this
disease. 1t purifies the blood. Ask your
