CATARRH LEADS
To CONSUMPTION

Catarrh is as much a blood disease
as serofula or rheumatism. 1t may
be relieved. but it cannot be removed
by simply local treatment. 1t causes
headache and dizziness, impairs the
taste, smell and hearing, affects the
voice, deranges the digestion, and
breaks down the general health. 1t
weakens the delicate lung tissues and
leads to consumption.
Hoods Sarsaparilla goes to the
seat of the trouble, purifies the blood,
and is so successful that it is known
as the best remedy for catarrh.
Hoods Sarsaparilla strengthens
and tones the whole system. 1t builds
up. Ask your druggist for Hoods,
and insist on having it. There is no
real substitute.

MODERN METHODS
FOR AILING MEN
SEEKING RELIEF
Doctors Treat Seien'
tificaIly Many Diseases
Peculiar to Men.

Rectal troubles, including Hemor
rhoids, f1stula, assures and other pain,
full and distressing conditions, yield
readily to the Electro-Medical Treat
ment. and the cost for treatment Is SO
moderate that no ailing man should
hesitate to visit the institute for treat
ment.
Kidney, bladder and prostate trou-
bles may have more complications
than are presented by other diseased
organs, but under careful proper treat
ment these conditions are seldom as
serious as they appear 10 the one az
flicted.
Another source Of distress to the
sufferer is-blood poison. Blood pois::
onlng requires not only knowledge OF
the disease-but the ability to proper
ly administer the treatments which IN
some cases require the famous sos
and "914" treatments originated by
DR.. Paul Ehrlich, the deceased Euro
pean scientist, winner OF the Noble
prize. These remedies are also known
as "Salvarsan" and "Neo Salvarsan.
The ills OF men are too numerous to
mention-bat Whatever the affection,
modern treatment awaits the sufferer
at the Electro-Medical Doctors.
