WHAT CATARRH IS

1t has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form of snufs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by erniching your blood with the
oil-food in Scott's Emulsion which is a
medicinal food and building tonic, free
from alcohol or any harmful drugs. Tryit.
