Catarrh Sufferers
Don't Know Sometimes They Have
catarrh-How to Tell.

Many people suffer from catarrh and
its effects without really knowing it.
They know they hawk and spit, that
they have a foul breath, poor appetite,
the good things they love to eat don't
taste the same, their sense of smell is
failing and they don't hear as clearly
as they used to.
Generally, all these are symptoms
OF catarrh and may show that slowly
but surely the general health is being
undermined by this disgusting and an.
noy-g catarrhal condition. Sprays,
lotions, salves and creams can give
only a slight temporary relief because
they do not strike at the roots of the
trouble.
II you have catarrh, IL you are al.
ways hawking and splitting clearing
the phlegm from the throat, have buz.
2ing, roaring noises in the ears. no ap-
petite, and have dull, listless feeling,
due to oatarrh, so to your druggist and
get one ounce OF Parmint double
strength. Take It home and mix IL
with Y pint OF hot water and four
ounces OF ordinary graduated sugar.
This will give you full half pint OF a
pleasant and efficient preparation de-
signed for use in catarrhal conditions
and for coughs and colds. This is an
old English recipe and is used with
good results in England where. owing
TO the extremely damp climate catarrh
is very common. For sale by Holt
