greatly influenced by constitu-
tional conditions, and in order to
cure it you must take an internal
remedy. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is
taken internally and acts thru the
blood on the mucous surfaces of
the system. Hall's Catarrh Cure
was prescribed by one of the best
physicians in this country for
years. It is composed of some of
the best tonics known, combined
with some of the best blood puri-
fiers. The perfect combination of
the ingredients in Hall s ( atarrh
