WHATCANYOU DOFOR CATARRH?
Ask Yourself the question How often has the doctor failed
as have Ointmens saes vapous? What you should do.

The easy, common-sense method
that costs so little-that is SO quickly
and vigorously effective-is often the
last resort of many Catarrh sufferers.
Why, it is hard to say. One of the
specialists of the Swift Specific Com
pany in Atlanta physician of stand
ing and national reputation because of
his knowledge of blood disorders, made
the assertion that if the majority of
Catarrh sufferers would buy and faith
fully take s. 8. s., they could effectu-
ally get rid of Catarrh.
S. S. s. goes straight to the seat of
trouble, the blood. 1t spreads its in
nuence over every organ in the body,
comes through the veins and arteries,
enables the mucous surfaces to ex-
change acids and irritating substances
for red blood corpuscles that effectual-
~ cleanse the system and thus put an
end to all Catarrhal poison. S. s. s.
cleans out the stomach of mucous &C
cumulations, enables only pure, blood
