Don’t you see for yourself that a remedy like Mucu-Tone, preseribed for one specific purpose, is going to accomplish that purpose much better than a cure all that claims to cure every disease in the dictionary, But that’s not all, Mucu-Tone is different from any medicine you ever bought or heard of for Catarrh, Mucu-Tone doesn't heal up the inflamed mucous tissues like the old-fashioned catarrh believe you are cured, but Mucu-Tone gets right at the source. Mueu-Tone gets right in and absolutely drives out the Germs That Cause Catarrh .
