Catarrh Las become such a common
disease that a person entirely free frota
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
with. It is customary to speak of Catarrh
as nothing more serious than a bad cold,
a simple inGammalion of the nose and
throat.' It is, in fact, a complicated and
very dangerous disease ; if not at first, it
very soon becomes so.
The i.lood is quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions, and the poison through
the general circulation is carried to all
parts of the system.
Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis
factory and disappointing, because they da
not reach the seat of the trouble. S. S. S.

and eliminates from the system all catar
rhal secretions, and thus cures tboroughl)
and permanently the worst cases.
- Mr. T. A. Williams a leading dry-good mt

I had a severe case oi
nasal Catarrh, with all

which belong to that
disease, and which
make life painful and
unendurable. I used
medicines prescribed by
leading physicians and

of friends, but without
getting any better. I
then began to take S. S.

that they will not let it slip this ses

to give us a building, if any .place
