Do Not Neglect It.

When you use indicated sprays,
atomizers and douches for your Ca
tarrh, you may succeed in unstoppine
the choked-up all. passages for the
time being, but this annoying condi-

same thing over and over again.
Catarrh has never yet been cured
by these local applications. Have
you ever experienced any real benefit
from such treatment?
