For a great many years doctors pro- nounced it a local disease. and pre- scribed local remedies, and by constant- ly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science. has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease. and therefore requires consti- tutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure. manufactured by F. J. Cheney 3: Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu- tional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the sys- tem. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and test1monials. Address, F. J.
