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 Specificcures 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: ‘‘l could see no improvement whatever, though I was constantly treated with sprays and vs shes, and different inhaling remedies—in fact. I could feel that g each winter I was worse than the year previous. “Finally it was brought to my notice that Catarrh was a blood d 1 yease. and after thinkWKCTf yj ing over the matter. I ■< saw it was unreasonable U) ex P e « t to be cured by / ■£: remedies which only gggh reached the surface. I then decided to try S. S. 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. 1 advise all who have this dreadful disease to abandon their local treatment, which has never done them any good, and take S. S. S., a remedy that can reach the disease and cure it.” To continue the wrong treatment for Catarrh is to continue 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. r ?’h.Blood is Purely Vegetable, and is the only ■flood remedy guaranteed to contain no iangerous minerals.
