member of that regiment writes:
"Davis would have undoubtedly

to assassinatc our beloved President,
still continues TO show itself as the
war draws to n close. The fearful
explosion at Mobile, BY which several
hundred lives were lost aud many
million dollars worth of property de-
stroyed, proves not TO have been the
result of an accident, but OF traitor
malignity. A man by tile name Of

SYMPTOMS.

The symr toms OF Catarrh are at FIRST very
siight. Persons find they have a cold, that
they have frequent attacks, and are more sem
sitive TO the changes Of temperature. In this
condition the noss may be dry, or slight dis
charge, thin and acrid, afterwards thick and
adhesive, may ensue
AZ the disease becomes chronic, the dis
charges are increased in quantity and changed
in quality; they are now thick and heavy, and
are hawKed or coughed Off The ssoretions
are offensive, causing bad breath; the voice
thick and nasal; the eyes arc weak; the sense
of smell Is lessoned 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 thick or Shiny
mucous, which has fallen from the head dur
ing tho night. When this takes place, the
person may be suro that his disease is on its
way TO the lungs, and should lose no timo in
arresting it.
The above are but few Of the many Catarrh-
al symptoms. Write to our Laboratory for
our pamphlet describing fully sll symptoms !;
It will be sent FREE TO any address. Also

We are daily receiving letters from soldiers

ble merits.
