A Poor Way to
Treat Catarrh
b to Rely Upon the Sprays,
Washes, Etc.,
Which form the basis of many
“methods” now so prevalent.
Such treatment might avail some¬
thing if Catarrh was only a local
irritation of the membranes. Bat
the disease is not on the snrfaee—
the discomforting irritation of the
lining of the throat is not the dis¬
ease itself, bat simply a mani¬
festation of it- Catarrh is a
deep-seated, constitutional blood
^disease, and it ia as easy to pat
oat fire with s sheet of paper as to
hope to core it with local applica¬
tions. Don’t mistake temporary
relief for benefit. Those who last
season thought themselves bene¬
fited by this treatment will see
their mistake as soon as the first
felt. -
