Not a Local Disease Beeause catarrh affects your head, it is not therefore a local disease, 1f it did not exist in your blood, it could not manifest itself in your ! nose. ‘The blood now in your brain is before you finish reading this article, back in youa heart again and soon distributed to your liver, stomach, kidneys and so on, Whatever im- purities the blood does not carry away, cause what we call diseases. Therefore when you have catarrh of the head, a snuff or other in- halant can at most give only temporary relief, The only way to effect a cure is to attack the disease in the blood, by taking a constitutional remedy like Hood's Sarsaparilla, which elimi- nates all impurities and thus permanently cures catarrh.
