Obesity luenaces longevity?

There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For a great many years doc
tors pronounced it q local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven Catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by f j. Cheney & Co, Toledo, Ohio,
