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, F. J. CHENEY A CO, Toledo, O. > Sold by druggists, 75c. Hall’s Family Pills are tbe best.
