nourishment and vital vigor it receives front the blood.
So long as the
circulation remains pure this membrane will be healthy, but when the blood
becomes infected with catarrhal impurities ami poisons this inner lining of
the body becomes irritated ami diseased, and the unpleasant and serious
symptoms of Catarrh commence.
There is a tight, stuffy feeling in the
nose, watery eyes, buzzing noises in the ears, often slight deafness, difficult
breathing, etc. The disease cannot be reached by external treatment, though
such measures afford temporary relief in some instances. ' S. S. S. cures

affected, can only be cured by a remedy that goes to the very bottom and
