THE SECRET
OF OUR SUCCESS.
We claim that a combination of local
an A constitutional treatment is necessary
to thoroughly eradicate Catarrh. Exclu
sively local applications, if made when the
trouble first begins, sometimes cure, but
more frequently drive the disease to other
parts of the system, where it develops in
a far more serious form. Blood purifiers
may improve the condition of the system,
but they seldom cure—for they do not
reach the seat of the disease. Certain
Catarrh Cure, is the only preparation
which combines local and constitutional
treatment, and can consistently elaim to
cure Catarrh in all its forms and stages.
It is cheap, easily used, purely vegetable,
entirely harmless. By it, others, who had
no faith, have been cured: YOU CAN BE,
whether you have had the ditease one year
or fifty; whether it is in the head, stomach
orbladder. TRY IT NOW.
DELAY IS DANGEROUS.
Past Failures Need You.
We have handled Certain Catarrh Cure
since its first introduction. It has given gen
eral satisfacti< n, and such has been the in
crease in demand, that our purchases during
the last six months have amounted to nearly
twenty-five gross.—The Lamar Drug Co.,
Atlanta, Ga., May Ist, 1889.
In Support of Our Claims,
We offer the testimony of those who have
tried Certain Catarrh Cure to their entire
satisfaction. “An ounce of experience is
worth a pound of theory.” Our endorsers
are well known persons, who are alive and
can be found. Not one of our testimoni
als was purchased at any price. They are
the voluntary expressions of parties who
seek to benefit humanity. A perusal of
them will surely convince you that our
claims are well founded. If you have
Catarrh, you cannot afford to be indiffer
ent to its progress. Treatment cannot be
commenced too early. The longer disease
continues, the more time it will require to
be eradicated. Your unsatisfactory experi
ence with other remedies should not influ
ence you against ours. Lay aside distrust;
give Certain Catarrh Cure a fair test, and
£ou will, throughout the remainder of your
fe, feel thankful to us for the advice.
SI,OOO Reward—a Humbug!
Don’t Be Deceived, By the offer of a
large reward in case some medicine fails to
cure you. If the reward is claimed, there
is always some way to evade its pay
ment; never claimed, it is no evidence that
everybody, or anybody, has been cured;
but it speaks well for the intelligence of
our people, that no one is fool enough
to expect its payment. $1,000,000
might be offered with equal safety; lor it
is needless to say that the user of such med
icines always dies before their proprietors
are convinced that he “can’t be cured.” It
is one of the most deceptive schemes that
ever insulted an enlightened people.
We are disposed to give the public every
protection possible against the imposition
of scheming frauds or worthless nostrums,
but NO DEPENDENCE CAN BE
PLACED IN GUARANTEES. If Con
gress will pass a law by which all medi
cines are subjected to a thorough test, and
their merits—in the diseases which they
claim to * cure— fully established before
they can be offered for sale, we will heart
ily favor it. An honest remedy suffers
more from the failure of other prepara
tions to establish their claims, than from
all other causes combined, as disappoint
ment in one medicine causes distrust in
many.
Not a “Cure All.”
Those who have read our newspaper ad
vertisements will remember that, in them,
we claimed to cure only Catarrhal and
throat affections and sore mouth. These
have been its great specialties, and for
them it is widely recognized as the quick
est and surest cure known. The prepara
tion was originally compounded for Catarrh
only, as its name indicates—but, in course of
experience, has been found’ equally effica
cious in various other troubles. Catarrh is
an inflammation of the organs attacked,
and it is natural that a medicine which
will cure it, will cure other inflammations.
It will be found of great value in various
cases which arise in a family, and should
be on hand at all times.
Certain Catarrh Cure is mentioned so fn
vorably, by our customers that we have great
confidence in its merits.—Alexander Drug
and Seed Co., Augusta, Ga.
Its Harmlessness.
Makes it entirely safe to try Certain
Catarrh Cure for any trouble, without the
slightest fear of injury. It is a purely
vegetable preparation, and to the most
delicate constitution, or organ of the body,
can produce no bad effect whatever.
REMEMBER I
Certain Catarrh Cure is not simply a
snuff or local application, to drive. the.diiL- , ——
ease from the nasal organs into the system;
nor a blood remedy, to tone up the system
and leave the nasal parts uncured ; but it
is a combination of both methods, and the
only remedy which will give satisfaction in
the many different stages of catarrh'.

3 C Co., Athens, Ga. :
Gentlemen—lt affords me pleasure to in
form you of the great benefits I derived
from the use of Certain Catarrh Cure. I was
afflicted for eight or ten months with nasal
catarrh, and at times my suffering was in
tense. My throat and lungs were very
much affected—l coughed almost inces
santly, and thought my case would go into
consumption. ‘
I tried other remedies, but grew worse
all the time. I was induced to try your
Certain Catarrh Cure, and, after using
about three bottles, commenced to improve
rapidly. I used five or six bottles, and
have suffered none since. I shall al
ways feel grateful that you discovered a
remedy that has cured me, and I am ever
ready to testify to its wonderful curative
powers. Very respectfully,
Eastman, Ga. Mather Wynne.
Certain Catarrh Cure is a sure remedy
for Croup. It also cured my child of en
larged and infilamed tonsils after physicians
had pronounced the knife the only remedy.—
