R1OO Reward. 300

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
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 a constitutional disease, requires
a constitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces Of the system, thereby de-
stroying the foundation Of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and as
sisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in its
curative powers that they offer One

fails to cure. Send for list Of testi
