CATARRH MUST
Be CURED!

7 The most common mistake made II
| the treatment of Catarrh Is in direct
ing all effort toward the symptoms
rather than the source of the disease,
The inflammation of the membranes
in the nose and air passages causing
the head to become stopped up. and
making it difficult to breathe, is but
an indication of the disease. In other
words, this is not the disease itself.
but natures method of informing the
victim that he has been attacked. You
may treat Catarrh all your life with
sprays, atomizers. douches and similar
local applications. and you will never
be really rid of the disease.
The burning question. then. Is How
Can Get Rid of Catarrh?" You have
doubtless used numbers of local rene
dies, and ike every other sufferer you
have found out that they are nothing
but makeshifts and do you no perma-
nent good. S. S. S. has proven highly
successful in the treatment of Catarrh
because the real seat of the disease Is
in the blood. and there Is no disorder
Of the blood which does not promptly
yield to this great vegetable remedy.
S. S. S. goes direct to the seat of
the disease. and routs out from the
blood every vestige of impurity. No
disorder of the blood can remain in
competition with S. S. S. 1t simply
eradicates and eliminates every germ
of Catarrh from the blood. after which
the irritated mucous membranes
promptly heal and the sufferer once
more enjoys perfect freedom from this
annoying disease.

Make-shift remedies are alb
solutely worthless.

Don't think lightly of Catarrh. Do
not make the mistake of believing that
it is merely an aggravated bad cold.
True, this trouble usually starts with
what is apparently cold in the head,
but beware of any cold that hangs
on" You may as well realize at the
outset that Catarrh Is a serious disease
and one that should not be trifled with.
In fact. in many instances it is a fore
runner of the most dreaded of all
diseases-consumption.
Catarrh has become almost a uni
versal ailment among the American
people. Almost everywhere. in the
alters. cars, and on the streets, there Is
a constant shifting and hawking, for
there is bound to be someone in al
most every place who is afflicted with
catarrh. And everyone Is a possible
victim, for the germs of the disease are
easily communicated from one person
to another.
So many people afflicted with this
disease have been unable to find a
cure. although they have taken many
different kinds of treatment for years,
until now they are almost willing to
believe the disease is incurable. Like
everything else. to find relief from
this disease, the proper treatment must
be resorted to. No other kind can be
expected to do any good.
Read what Mr.. c. F. Venatta of
New Kensington. Pa. has to say about
his Catarrh:
I have used S. 5. s. in my
family and know what It is. and
nave recommended it to my
trlenus- Some years ago. I had
Catarrn in my head. and after
using other remedies without
