The readers of this paper will 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 Is
Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure Is the only
positive cure now known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional
disease requir- s a constitutional treat-
ment. Hall's Catarrh Cure Is taken in-
ternally acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system there-
by destroying the foundation of the dis-
ease. 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 curati\<* pow-
ers that they offer On» Hundred Dollars
for any case that it fails to cure. Send
