The readers of this paper wjll be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requies a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby dis-
troying the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by-
building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in its
durative powers that they offer One
Hunderd Dollars for any case that it
iails to cure. Send for list of testimonials.
