and acts through the Diood on the mu
cous surfaces of the system. Hall’s
Catarrh Medicine was prescribed by
ont> of the best physicians in thi3
•ountry for years. It is composed of
some of the best tonics known, com
bined with some of the best blood pur
ifiers. The perfect combination of
the ingredients in Hall’s Catarrh Med
icine js what produces such wonder

HOW A SALESMAN SUFFERED.
R. J. Porter, Sterling, Col., writes:
“I suffered with a painful, weak
back. As a traveling salesman I had
to stoop frequently to pick up my
grips, and the pain when I straighten
ed up was awful. I was induced to
try Foley Kidney Pills. Relief was
immediate. Say, they are great.”
Prompt and tonic.—Walker’s Phar

Children are as likely to get the
grip and influenza as grown-ups.

relief from all kinds of coughs, colds,

raw, inflamed surfaces with a healing
soothing coating; clears air pas
