Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that Contain Mercury,

As Mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucus surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on prescriptions from reputable physicians, as the damage they will do are tenfold to the good you can possibly derive from them. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, 0., contains no mercury, and is taken internally, and acts directly upon the blood and mucus surfaces of the system. In buying Hall’s Catarrh Cure be sure you get the genuine; it is taken internally and made in Toledo, Ohio, by F. J. Cheney & Co. 49~501d by Druggists, price 75c per bottle. Over 1,000,000 miles of telegraph wire are in operation in the United States—enough to encircle the globe forty times.
