The treatment of Catarrh with antiseptic and astringent washes, lotions, salves, medicated tobacco ' *' and cigarettes or any external or local application, is just as senseless as would be kindling a fire on top of the pot to make it boil. True, these give temporary relief, but the cavities and passages of the head and the bronchial tubes soon fill up again with mucus. Taking cold is the first step towards Catarrh, for it checks perspiration, and the poisonous acids and vapors which should pass off through the skin, are 7 thrown back upon the mucous membrane or inner skin, producing inflammation and excessive flow of mucus, much of which is absorbed into the blood, and through the circulatior reaches every part of the system, involving the Stomach, Kidneys and othei parts of the body. When the disease assumes the dry form, the breatl becomes exceedingly foul, blinding headaches are frequent, the eyes red hearing affected and a constant ringing in the ears. No remedy that doe! not reach the polluted blood can cure Catarrh. S. S. S. expels from the circulation all offensive matter, and when rich, pur< blood is again coursing through the body th< mucous membranes become healthy and the skir active, all the disagreeable, painful symptoms disap pear, and a permanent, thorough cure is effected. S. S. S. being a strictly vegetable blood purifier does not derange th< Stomach and digestion, but the appetite and general health rapidly iniprov< under its tonic effects.
