The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able 20 cure in all its stages and
that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly
Influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment Halls
Catarrh Medicine is taken internally and
acts thru the Blood on the Mucous Sur
faces of the System thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease, giving the
patient strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature in doing its
