CATARRH
Is a most loathsome, dangerous, and preva
lent malady. It is a blood disease, usually
of Scrofulous origin, and for which local
treatment is useless. Before health is pos
sible, the poison must be eradicated from
the system, and to do this
SUCCESSFULLY
the disease must be treated through the
blood. For this purpose no remedy is so
effective as Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
" For the past eight years, I have been
severely afflicted with Catarrh, none of the
many remedies I tried affording me any re
lief. My digestion was considerably im
paired, and my sleep disturbed by phlegm
dropping into my throat. In September
last I resolved to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla,
began to use it at once, and am glad to
testify to a great improvement in my health."
Frank Teson, Jr., engineer, 271 "West
Fourth street, New York City.
" My daughter, 16 years old, was afflicted
with Catarrh from her fifth year. Last Au
gust she was
TREATED WITH
Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and after three months
of this treatment she was completely cured.
It was a most extraordinary case, as any
druggist here can testify." Mrs. D. W.
