pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreadful disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stage.s,
and fliat is catarrh. Hail’s Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now
nown to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh lieing a constitutional dis
ease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giv
ing the patient strength by build
ing up the constution and assisting
nature in doing its work. The jiro-
prietors have so much faith in its
curative powers that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it
fails to cure. Send for list of testi
