Catarrh Cannot Be Cured
with LOCAL APPLICATIONS,
as they cannot reach the seat of
the disease. Catarrh is a blood
or constitutional disease, and in
order to cure it you must take
internal remedies. Hall’s Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally,
and acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces. Hall’s
Catarrh Cure is not a quack
medicine. It was prescribed by
one of the best physicians in
this country for years, and is a
regular prescription. It is com
posed of the best tonics known,
'combined with the nest blood
purifiers, acting directly on the
mucous surfaces. Tne perfect
combination of the two ingre
dients is what produces such
wonderful results in curing Ca
tarrh. Send for testimonials
