Beware of Ointments for Catarrh hl a
Contain Mercury.
As mercury will surely de-
stroy the sense of smell and com-
pletely derange the whole sys-
tem when entering it through
the mucous surfaces, such ar-
ticles should never be used ex-
cept on prescriptions from repu-
table physicians, as the damage
they will do is ten-fold to the
good you can possibly derive
from them. Hall’s Catarrh Cure
manufactured by F. J. Cheney
& Co., Toledo, O., contains no
mercury, and is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the sys-
tem. In buying Hall’s Catarrh

sire to protect their crops against
the above named disasters.
This is purely a mutual com-
pany founded upon a plan that
the statistics of the state fur-

losses can be paid. The history
of electric storms and hail
storms shows that Texas is get-
ting more and more subject to hail
storms and it is the purpose of
this company to insure the farm-
er as nearly as possible at actual
cost. The rate charged is suf-
ficient to pay all expenses of the
company and to pay fully all
losses to the farmer.
