You ted !M Suffer t-rom Catarrh
You have probably been in the habit
of using external treatments to relieve
your catarrh. You have applied sprays,
washes and lotions to the mucous sur
faces of the nose and throat, have
been temporarily relieved, and then
wondered a short time after, why you
were troubled with another attack of
catarrh.
You should realize that catarrh is
an infection of tho blood. This fact
has been agreed upon by specialists
in catarrh troubles, and has been
proven in the laboratories of the Swift
Specific Cos. S. S. S., which was dis
covered over fifty years ago, will
cleanse your blood of the catarrhal
poisons and will thereby relieve you
of the dripping in your throat, the
sores in your nostrils, spitting, hawk
ing and bad breath.
All druggists carry S. S. S., and
the physicians of our Medical Depart
ment will cheerfully answer any let
ters which you may write them in
regard to your ease. Swift Specific
