It lias been believed for some

say that the reorganization is sched

There is more Catarrh in this sec
tion of the country than all other
diseases put together, and untli the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it a local dis-
ase and* prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it in
curable. Science has proven catarrh
to be a constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional
tratment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, man
ufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Tole
do, Ohio., is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken in
ternally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. It acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. They offer one hundred dol
lars for any case it fails to cure. Send
for circulars and testimonials.
