There is more Catarrh in this section of !
he country than ail the other diseases pnt '
together, and until the last few years was I
supposed to be incurab e. For a great
many yean doctors pronounced it a local
disease, and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a consti
tutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Oo . Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu
tional cure on tbe market. |lt is taken in
ternally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. It acts directly on tbe blood
and mucous surfaces of tbe system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and tes
timonials. Address,
