one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages,
and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being constitutional di-

ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the foun-
