HAY FEVER CONQUERED!


The pollens which cause HAY FEVER all have their NATURAL ANTIDOTE growing almost side by side with those flowers which


cause it. MOOREY'S CATARRH AND COLD MIXTURE contains several


of these. One of fhem is PULSATILLA, a close relative of both field and garden ANEMONES. It Is a SPECIFIC ANTIDOTE fo BUTTERCUP POLLEN.


PREDISPOSITION TO HAY FEVER is due to an irritant poison


in the blood streom which mokes the mucus surfaces round the eyes and nasal passages excessively sensitive to pollens and dust.


MOOREY'S CATARRH AND COLD MIXTURE contains vital


ingredients which neutralise these poisons and greatly reduce sen­ sitivity at the offset. Carefully balanced and completely safe in oction


is the one remedy you can rely on to save you from the distress of ,
