Sprays and douches will never
cure you.
Catarrh is annoying enough when
it chokes up your nostrils and air
pasnncs, causing painful and diffi
cult breathing and other disfom
forts. Uut the real danger comes
when it reaches down into your
lunk'i. fc
This is why you should at once
realize the importance) of the proper
treatment, and lose no time ex
perimenting with worthless reme
dies which touch only the surface.
To be rid of Catarrh, you must drive
the disease germs our of your blood.
Splendid results Have been report
ed from the use of S. S. S., which
completely routs from your blood
the Catarrh germs, for which, it is
a perfect antidote. J
S. S. S. is sold by all druggists. ,
