Catarrh TS a blood disease. Until the poison is 1 expelled from the system, there can bo no cure for this loathsome and dangerous malady. Therefore, the only affectivetreatment is a thorough course of Ayer's Sarsaparilla—the best of all blood purifiers. The sooner you begin the better; delay is dangerous. "I was troubled with catarrh for over two years. I tried various remedies, and was treated by a number of physi- cians, but received no benefit until I began to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla. A few bottles of this medicine cured me of this troublesome complaint and com- pletely restored my health."—Jesse M. com- pletely Holiness's Mills,"17..0. "When Ayer's Sarsaparilla was rec- ommended to me for catarrh, I was in- clined to doubt its efficacy. Raving tried so many remedies, with little ben- efit, I had no faith that anything would cute Inc. I became emaciated from losn of appetite and impaired digestion. I had nearly lost the sense of smell, and lny system was badly deranged. I was rbout discouraged, when a friend urged mo to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and re- ferred me to persona whom it had cured of rararrh, After taking half a dozen bottles of this medicine, l' am convinced that the only sure way of treatingthis obsrin:ato disease is through the blood." —Charles H.
