). s. s. PROVES ITS
POWER IN DEALING
With CATARRH

when the lungs become affected.
In fact, dreaded consumption, in
many cases, could be prevented if
Catarrh was properly treated in
time.
The reason why Catarrh cannot
be cured by local applications of
sprays, douches, ointments, saIves
and other locally applied REM
edies alone, is because it is a
blood disease, and comes from
millions of tiny Catarrh germs
which find lodgment in the blood.
Unless the system is in such per-
feet condition as to be able to
throw them off, these germs null
tiply rapidly until the blood be-
comes thoroughly infected with
them.
The irritation of the men,
branes and air passages, which
become stopped up and make it
, difficult to breathe, are only man
ifestations of the trouble, and not
the disease itself. The germs
make their attack on these deli
cate parts of the body because
here they find the least resistance.
and hence they can easily set up
their work of destroying the ten
der tissues. The use of sprays
and douches only unStop the &C
cumulations in the air passages,
which very promptly reappear.
This explains why victims OF
Catarrh have to r:ss local treat
ment SO constantly. Catarrh can
only be reached by a remedy
which goes down to the source
OF the disease-the blood. S. S. S.
has proven its value in the treat
ment of this disease, because it is
an unequaled blood remedy, which
drives impurities from the blood
and cleanSes it of disease germs.
S. S. S. is guaranteed to be
purely vegetable, has been on the
market for fifty years, and is sold
by druggists everywhere. 1t has
a wonderful record for combat
ting blood disorders, and YOU
should begin today taking it for
your Catarrh. The Medical Di-
rector will gladly give you advice
as to additional treatment, with
out charge. Write him full in
formation about your case, and he
twill tell just what you should do

Don't Get the Spray and Salve
Habit.

The experience of nearly every
person afflicted with Catarrh is
identical. First, usually, what is
commonly known as bad cold
seems to "hang on" with consid-
able stubbornness. The air pas
sages become inflamed and
choked up, rendering breathing
painful and difficult. There is
constant hawking and splitting in
an effort to clear the nostrils, the
throat becomes irritated and un-
less the proper treatment is used,
the patient is in for a siege.
This will be your experience if
Catarrh gets a foothold in your
system. Then like thousands OF
others, you will quickly want to
know the best treatment for this
dangerous ailment.
But you are in position now to
profit by the mistakes which
others have made who have been
using the wrong treatment. Do
not be led into the belief that be-
cause your air passages are stop
ped up, making it hard to breathe,
that you can be permanently
cured by the use of sprays, oint-
ments, salves, etc, applied to the
locally affected parts.
Similar remedies have been used
for years by thousands of Catarrh
sufferers and you will not find
many who have been cured by
this treatment alone. In fact, the
disease is getting a firmer hold
on their system all the time, be-
cause this local treatment can dc
no more than afford temporary
relief.
By using the proper means al
the beginning, many people could
avoid Catarrh entirely, and pre-,
vent the disease from getting a
foothold in their system. After
it gets hold of you, however, it is
unwise to temporize and neglect
the proper treatment, because Ca.
tarrh has a tendency toward the
lungs. and every one knows what
a serious condition they are in
