SYMPTOMS.
The symptoms of Catarrh as they generally
appear are at first very slight. Persons find
tacl1s, and are more sensitive to the changes OF
temperature. In this condition the nose may
be dry, or slight discharge, thin and acrid, at
forwards becoming thick and adhesive. As the
disease becomes chronic, the discharges are in
creased in quantity and changed in quality !;
they are now thick and heavy, and are hawked
or cOughed Off. The secretiOnS are offensive,
causing bad breath; the voice is thick and ma
lessened or destroyed; deafness frequently
takes place. Another common and important
symptom of Catarrh is, that the person is
obliged to clear his throat in the morning of q
thick or Shiny mucous, which has fallen down
from the head during the night. When this
takes place the person may be sure that his dis
ease is on its way to the lungs, and should lose
no time in arreSting it.
The above are but a few of the many Catarrh-
al symptoms.
A single bottle will last month-to be used
three times a day.
TESTIMONIAL.

greSS from Illinois, late Speaker OF the llll-
