What Are You Going to
Do About Your Catarrh?

expect to be cured by the use of
local remedies. But have you ever
known of one single person tc be
freed from the slavery of Catarrh
by any kind of local treatment?
Why? Simply because they have
overlooked the cause of these
symptoms, and hence the treat
ment has been misdirected. Re-
move the cause of the clogged UP
accommodations that choke UP your
air passages, and they will natur-
ally disappear for good. But no
matter how many local applica-
tons you use to temporarily clear
them away, they promptly reap
pear and will continue to do SO
until their cause is removed.
But if you will take a treatment
that goes right down to the very
source of the disease and attacks it
at its starting point, then you are
on the right track. and can expect
results. S. S. S., the fine old fifty
year old blood remedy is an anti
dote to the millions of tiny Ca
tarrh germs with which your blood
is infested. Don't waste further
time by continuing a treatment
that can make no progress toward
permanent relief, but begin to take

the same benefit that others have
