ri"Utl!3 Infallible hemedy does not, like the
poisonous irritating snuffs and strong
caustic solutions with which the people have
long been humbugged, simply palliate for a
short time, or drive the disease to the lungs as
there is danger of doing in the use of such nos
trums, but it produces perfect and permanent
cureB of the wsist cases of Chronic Catarrh, as
thousands can testify. Cold in the head is cure
ed with a few applications. Catarrhal Head
ache is relieved and cured as if by magic. Is
removes offensive breath, loss or impairment of
the sense of taste, smelling or hearing, water
ing or weak eyes, mid impaired memory, when
caused by the violence ofCatarah, nsthey fre
quently are. I offer in good faith a standing
reward of $500 for a case of Catarrh that I
oannot cure.
For sale by most druggists everywhere
