Here Is a Sensible Treatment
that Gives Prompt Re-
suits.

Winter and Catarrh are COM
panions in evil. Catarrh is
sweeping civilization from one
continent to another. just be-
cause civilization does not heed
Natures simple laws. Nature
tells us what to do and we pay
no heed.
Don't think lightly of Ca
tarrh. Do not make the mistake
of believing that it is merely an
aggravated bad cold. True, this
trouble usually starts with what
is apparently a cold in the
head, but beware of any cold
that hangs on" You may as
we'll realize at the outset that
Catarrh is a serious disease and
one that should not be trifled
with. In fact, in many in
stances it is forerunner of the
most dreaded of all diseases
consumption.
Don't permit yourself to be
deceived. Perhaps, like thou
sands of others afflicted with
catarrh, you are about ready to
believe that the disease is in
durable, and that you are
doomed to spend the remainder
of your days hawking and spit
ting, with no relief in sight
from inflamed and stopped-up
air passages that make the days
miserable and the nights sleep
less.
If you are in the grasp of
Catarrh. your experience should
convince you that the disease
is beyond the reach of of-sprays.

WITH CATARRH

breath you take is difficult,
when the throat and nose are
so cIogged up with offensive
mucus that you are constantly
hawking and splitting in an eff
fort to clear your nostrils,
every effort you make to get
relief by the use of sprays and
douches is promptly followed
by new accumulations, so that
no headway whatever is made
toward getting rid of the dis
ease.
Realize that the Catarrh
comes from a germ which in
tests the blood, and that the
disease cannot exist when these
germs are routed from the
blood. The rational and sue
cessful treatment, therefore, is
one that reaches the blood, and
cleanses it of every trace of
impurity and rids it of these
tiny Catarrh germs. Of course
no local remedies can reach the
blood supply, and that is why
Catarrh is not cured by sprays
and lotions.
The one great blood remedy
that has made wonderful rec
ord is S. S. S., which has been
on sale by drug stores every
where for over half century.
If you would be rid of your
Catarrh. get a bottle of this
great old remedy today. which
will give you satisfactory re-
suits, as 1t has IN so many
cases. You will find that you
are on the right treatment at
last, as S. S. S. will do for you
what it has for thousands of
others. Start taking S. S. S.
today, and write a complete
description of your case to our
head physician. who will give
you all necessary Instructions
