You Will Never Be Cured BY
Local Treatment With
Sprays and Douches.

Catarrh Is a condition OF the blood
and cannot be cured by local appIica-
tions OF sprays and douches: this has
been proven by the thousands who have
vainly resorted to this method of treat
ment.
Catarrh should not be neglected or
experimental with. The wrong treat
ment is valuable time lost, during
which the disease is getting a firmer
hold upon its victim, and making It
more difficult for ever the proper treat
ment to accomplish results.

and moro aggravated and finally
reaches down into the lungs, and every
one recognizes the alarming condition
that results when the lungs are az

runner Of that most dreaded and hope

No local treatment affords permanent
relief. Experience has taught that s.

know how much she was learning, but
She had grown to love her Fairy friends
dearly.
She had walked quite way into the
garden before she saw a Dewdrop Fairy.
She had learned how to look for them,
and was not surprised when she saw one
perehed on the top of very slim stalk
or leaf. He looked as though he might
tumble down any minute, because the
top of the leaf was so small that Il was
almost a point. But he was very little.
He wore white coat and knee trousers
and green stockings and shoes He had
a little light green cap.
"GoOd morning, Miss Dolly" said
the Fairy.
He was the first who had called her
Miss" Dolly felt quite grown up.
"Good morning, Mr. Fairy, she said,
as polite as he.
