CATARRH LEADS
TO CONSUMPTION
Catarrh is as much a blood disease
as scrofula or rheumatism. It may
be relieved, but it cannot be removed
by simply local treatment. It causes
headache and dizziness, impairs the
taste, smell and hearing, affects the
voice, deranges the diseslion, and
breaks down the general health. It
weakens the delicate lung tissues and
lead" to consumption.
Hood's Sarsaparilla goes to the
seat of the trouble, purifies the blood,
and is so successful that it is known
as tbe best remedy for catarrh.
Hood's Sarsaparilla strengthens
and tones the whole system. It builds
up Ask your druggist for Hood's,
and insist on having it. There is no
real substitute.
