Foul-Smelling Catarrh. Catarrh is one of the most obstinate diseases, and hence the most difficult to get rid of. There is but one way to cure it. The disease is in the blood, and all the sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures in the world can have no permanent effect whatever upon it. Swift’s Specific cures Catarrh permanently, for it is the only remedy which can reach the disease and force it from the blood. Mr. B. P. McAllister, of Harrodsburg, Ky., had Catarrh for years. He writes: “I could see no improvement whatever, though I was constantly treated with sprays and rushes, and dlfferent inhaling remedies—in fact, 1 could feel that f each winter I was worse g than the year previous. “Finally it was IgF brought to my notice I fit that Catarrh was a blood gKftk disease, and after thlnk■i* ing over the matter. I saw it was unreasonable *° expeat to be cured by remedies which only Zjgwß reached the surface. 1 r 5 "-! Athen decided to try S? 8. S., and after a few bottles were used. I noticed a perceptible improvement. Continuing the remedy, the disease was forced out of my system, and a complete cure was the result I advise all who have this dreadful disease to abandon theirlocal treatment.whichhasnever done them any good, and take 8. 8. S., a remedy that can reach the disease and cure It.” To continue the wrong treatment for Catarrh is tocontinue to suffer. Swift’s Specific is a real blood remedy, and cures obstinate, deep-seated diseases, which other remedies have no effect whatever upon. It promptly reaches Catarrh, and never fails to cure even the most aggravated cases. S.S.S.'rS.BIood .s Purely Vegetable, and is the only Mood remedy guaranteed to contain no iangerous minerals.
