Catarrh is inflammation of tho mucous membranes of the nostrils, throat and air passages. It needs soothing, not irritating. The constant hawking, the chok ing, plugged-up, disagreeable sen sation of tightness troublesome especially in the early morning, when the cold air contracts the air passages and irritates the inflamed membranes is relieved immediate ly by the simple application of OZOJELL Ozojcll is like a healing ointment applied to a troublesome and angry sore it Soothes. Relieves, Cures. The catarrhal discharge is like the pus from a running sore, and everyone knows that washing a sore is not sufficient to make it heal. Ozojell, a delicious, pleasant emulsion or jelly of great cleansing, healing, preservative, germicidal properties, when once applied, remains on the raw membranes and gradually draws out the matter and heals up the wound by promoting the growth of new, healthy mombrane. Ozojell is put up in a patent Ozojell tube, easily carried in the pocket, easily applied to the parts as needed, in the office, on the street, without attracting attention, and with no irritation, trouble or waste of time.

Muller, the great specialist in diseases of the ear, throat and nosu (Physician in Ordinary to the Emperor of Austria). Thousands of letters from those who have been cured attest its virtues.
