The most offensive of all dis eases becomes more intense as cold weather approaches. In fact, many who have been under treat ment for so long, and during the summer feel little discomfort from the disease, are almost persuaded that they have been cured. But the first chilling blast of winter proves that the disease is still with them, and as the winter advances, their Catarrh grows in severity. Those who have felt only a slight touch of Catarrh may be sure that only cold weather is needed to de velop the disease. What appears to bo only a bad cold will prove more difficult to euro than for merly, and will return with more! frequency, until before long the disease is fully developed. “For years I suffered from a severe case of Catarrh, and took several kinds of medicines and used various local ap- j plications, but they had no effect what- j ever. I was induced to try S. S. 8. | (Hwift’s Specific) and after two months I was perfectly well and have never felt any effects of the disease since. “B. P. McAllister, “Harrodshurg, Ky.” It is easy to see tho importance of prompt treatment for Catarrh. Those who get a start on the dis- Faso before tho cold and disagree- able weather aggravates it, will find a cure less difficult. Catarrh increases in severity year by year, and becomes one of the most ob stinate and deep-seated troubles. But it is equally important that the right remedy be given. All local applications of sprays, washes, inhalations, etc., can never cure Catarrh, for they do not reach tho dis ease. Catarrh is in the blood, and only a blood remedy can cure it. Local appli cations only reach theirritated surface; the right remedy must be taken internally. Swift’s Specific (S. S. S.) is tho right remedy for Catarrh. It cures the most obstinate cases by going direct to the cause of the trouble—the blood—and forcing out the disease. Those who have met with so much disappointment from local treatment should throw aside their sprays, washes and in-v haling mixtures and take S. S. S. A cure will result. Send for free books.
