500 Reward. 500

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. Catarrh being greatly
Influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally
and acts thru the Blood on the Mucous
Surfaces of the System thereby de-
stroying the foundation of the disease,
giving the patient strength by building
up the constitution and assisting ma
ture in doing it's work. The proprie-
tors have SO much faith in the curative
powers of Halls Catarrh Cure that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list
of testimonials.
