T. P. Childs in this number of the
C hristian H erald . Truly our present
civilization battles with disease from
the cradle to the grave, Unseen dan
gers surrouud us ou every side, a slight
cold or cough neglected may bring us
untold miseries; Catarrh, Bronchitis,
Consumption, with Death in the near
future.
To many it will l o a mat er of sur
prise that C atarrh is viry frequently
mistaken for C onsumption , the symp-
tous in each being much alike,especial
ly in the earlier stages. No one who
reeogn Zis in bis ow n system, or who
has frieuds or relatives with any of the
symptons so accurately described,
should fail to send a statement of the
case to Mr. Childs. There may be hope
‘Sven in very desperate cases.
The discovery of his cure for Catarrh
has attracted groat alt-ntiou. Leading
men everywhere, publicly state that
Child’s treatment has cured them or
the’r families of Catirrh or Tfnl|oat diffi
eu'ties—among them clergymen, pliysi-
ciuus, Dwyers, merchants, bankers and
business men. All who have personally
'uvestigited the Dets, are satisfied that
Mr. Cuilds has discovered a certain,
positive and permanent cure for Catarrh,
that when properly used never fails even
in the most desperate cases.
Catarrh is generally many years in
gaining a foothold in the system,’and
attacks so.manv parts of the body that
it can not be cured by any one remedy
or by a single application. It requires
remedies that will meet the disease
wherever it is located, and fight it inch
by inch until a comp’eto victory has
been obtained. Rev? T. P; Childs has
