There is more Catarrh in this sec
tion of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and for years it
was supposed to be incurable. Doctors
prescribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable,
'atarrh is a local disease, greatly in
fluenced by constitutional treatment.
Hall’s Catarrh Medicine, manufactur
ed by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is a constitutional remedy, is ta
ken internally and acts through the
Blood on the Mucous Sudfaces of the
System. One Hundred Dollars re
ward is offered for any case that
Hall’s Catarrh Medicine fails to cure.

CATARRH CANNOT BE CURED
with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as
they cannot reach the seat of the dis
ease. Catarrh is a local disease
greatly influenced by constitutiona
conditions, and in order to cure it yo
must take an internal remedy. Hall’
Catarrh Medicine is taken internal
and acts through the blood on the mu
cous surfaces of the system. Hall’
Catarrh Medicine was prescribed b
one of the best physicians in thi
country for years. It is composed o
some of the best tonics known, com
bined with some of the best blood pur
ifigrs. The perfect combination o
thl ingredients in Hall’s Catarrh Med
icine is what jyoduces such wonder
ful results in catarrhal conditions.
