that there are many Augusta Forum

HEAD STUFFED FROM
 CATARRH OR A COLD Says Cream Applied in Nostrils
 Opens Air Passages Right Up.

Instant renet-nO Wa1LIIIg. Your clogged nostrils open right up; the air passages of your head clear and you can breathe freely. No more hawking, snuffling, blowing, headache, dryness. No struggling for breath at night; your cold or catarrh disappears.
 Get a small bottle of Ely's Cream Balm from your druggist now. Apply a little of this fragrant, antiseptic, healing cream in your nostrils. It penetrates through every air passage of the head. soothes the unframed or swollen mucous membrane and relief comes instantly.
 It's just fine. Don't stay stuffed up with a cold or nasty catarrh.
