CATARRH CANNOT BE CURED with local applications, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is blood or constitutional disease. and in order to cure it you must take inter nal remedies. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure is not quick med icine. It was prescribed by one of the best physicians in this country for years and is a regular prescription. It is composed of the best tonics known, combined with the best blood purifiers. acting directly on the mucous surfaces. The perfect combination of the two in- gradients is what produces such won- derful results in curing catarrh.
