TRY THIS HOME TREATMENT Catarrh not ‘only makes one feel miserable, it shows this effect in the features, and it usually grows worse.

A breath taint- ed with the odor of catarrh is an of- fense against all health and decency. A stomach filled with droppings from diseased nasal cavaties may cause un- told misery, and ruins the complexion, The bowels clogged with strings of ropy mucus indicates a body literally reeking with catarrh, causing pimples, blotches and other skin eruptions. The blood, swarming with millions of eatarrh germs, entails upon the knidneys a labor that may break them down; the lungs and bronchial tubes, scourged with the destructive influence of systemic catarrh, can lead to anemia and the most serious consequences.
