Catarrh of the nose or throat when
it becomes chronic weakens the deli
cate lung tissues, deranges the diges-
tive organs, and may lead to con-
sumption. 1t impairs the taste, smell
and hearing, and affects the voice. It
is constitutional disease and re-
quires constitutional remedy.
Take Hood S Sarsapaiilla, which
by purifying the blood removes the
cause Of the disease and gives per-
manent relief. This Alternative and
tonic medicine has proved entirely
satisfactory to thousands of families
in three generations.
If there is biliousness or constipa-
ton, take Hoods Pills,-they are
