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
the disease must be treated through the
blood. For this purpose no remedy is so
effective as Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
44 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 3ears old, was afflicted
with Catarrh from her fifth year. Last Au
gust she was
TREATED WITH
Ayei''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.

No bones brolcciz
with the Kabo corset. It can't
be done. They're made of
Kabo and Kabo can't break.
They're warranted for a
year. Then there's another
point the eyelets. They're
loops of corset lace, soft, but
tough, that won't rust or cut
the laces.
If the Kabo corset doesn't
suit, after a week or two's
wear, just return it and get
your money.
