cATARRH A CURBALE DISEASE.
Until within few years no physician has ever
thought of curing catarrh, being satisfied with snp

lief, or in other words make the patient sneeze This
grand object was generally brought about by giving
some kind ef Catarrh SNUFF made Of common snun,
blood root, bayberry bark and various other irrtat-
ing powders The country has also been flooded with
patent CataITh Snuff, Dryups, and other artcles-an
about alike in their effects. They make the patient
sneeze, and his nose is cleaned out for short time
making him feel better, and the same snuling ope-
ration has to be repeated l defy any person living

case Of CataIrh has been positively cured byny

man already knows.
