CATARRH LEADS
TO CONSUMPTION

Catarrh is as much a blood disease
as scrofula or rheumatism. 1t may be
relieved, but it cannot be removed by
simply local treatment. It breaks
down the general health, weakens the
lung tissues, and leads to consump-
ton.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is so successful
in the reatment of catarrh that it Is
known as the best remedy for this
disease. 1t purifies the blood. Ask
your druggist for it.-Adv.
