BEWARE OF OINTMENTS FOR

derange the whole system when
entering it through the mucous
surfaces. Such articles should
I never be used except on pre
scriptiuns from reputable physi
; cians, as the damage they will
i do is ten fold to the good you
i can possibly derive from them.

ured by F. J. Cheney & Co., To-,
ledo, 0., contains no mercury,
and is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mu
cous surfaces of the system. In
buying Hall’s Catarrh Cure be
| sure you get the genuine. It is
| taken internally and made in To
ledo, Ohio, by F. J. Cheney & Co.
