This is not entirely the result of our changeable'climate, but because mod- ern Investigation has clearly proven that many diseases, known by other names, are really catarrh. . Formerly the name catarrh was applied almost exclusively to the com mon nasal catarrh, but the throat, stom- ach, liver, bladdere kidneys and intestines are eubject to catarrhal diseases as well as the nasal pastages. In fact, wherever there s mucous mem- brane there {s a feeding ground for ca- tarrh. The usual remedies, inhalers douc or powders, have been practically fallures, as far &4 anything more than temporary relief was concerned, because they simply dry up the mucus secretion without having the: remotest effect upon the blood and liyer, which are the real sources of catarrhal diseases. It has been known for some years that the radical cure of catarrh could never come from local applications, but from an internal remedy, acting on the blood and expelling the catarrhal polson from the system. 4 A new internal preparation which has bene on the market only a short time has met with remarkable succe radical cure for catarrh. w. | | value of self-help is being felt | Nebraska, und an organized effort 1s to be | materially 8. | sprays, | a genuine M1 som, E.
