By druggists. s A Dunkirk fool who was never away from home before telegraphed his brother from Albany that he lost both legs in a railroad accident. The idiot came home on the next train and laughed “fit to kill” when he found his anxious relatives waiting at the depot with an ambulance. Strange to say the fellow who perpetrated the “joke” was the only one of the party who saw the funny side of the episode. There is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by P. J. Cheney A: Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market, it is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address, F. .1.
