DR.. SEELYE'S
LIQUID CA9ARRH REMEDY.
SYMPTOMS.

The symptoms Of Catarrh are at first very
slight. Persons find they have cold, that they
have frequent attacks, and are more sensitive to
the changes of temperature. In this condition
the nose may be dry, or a slight discharge, thin
and acrid, afterwards thick and adhesive, may
ensue. s- 7i,sf 5iat Il
As the disease becomes chronic, the discharges
are increased in quantity and changed in quality;
they are now thick and heavy, and are hawked or
coughed off. The secretions are offensive, caus-
ing bad breath; the voice thick and nasal; the
eyes are weak; the sense OF smell is lessened or
destroyed; deafness frequently takes place.
Another common and important symptom
Catarrh is that the person is obliged to clear his
throat in the morning of slick or Shiny mu-
cous, which has fallen from the head during the
night. When this takes place, the person may
be that his disease is on it's way to the lungs
and should lose no time in arresting It.
The above are but few of the many Catarrhal
symptoms. Write to our Laboratory for our
pamphlet describing fully all symptoms; it will
be sent FREE to any address. Also direction
where to procure the medicine.
We are receiving letters from all parts of the
Union, and also numerous testimonials from
those usingt, bearing the evidence Of its infalli.

HISTORY OF CLocK-A foreign journal
gives the following history of an extraordin-
airy clock
In 1900 the widow of poor Protestant
clergyman named Herald, lived in the small
town of Libau, in Courland. She was ex-
ceedingly charitable One winters night an
officer passed through Libau, on his way to
the army. He asked at the inn for some warm
beverage, but could obtain none he applied
in vain at several private houses it was not
long until he knocked at the clergyman's
widows door that he at last obtained a
dish of hot tea. 1t greatly comforted the
weary soldier Just before he set out on his
journey he offered her money for her palms,
She declined accepting money. He remem-
bered that he had lottery ticket in his
pocket, the prize was clock reckoned to be
worth 1854, 900. He made the widow accept
this ticket as souvenir of him. The ticket
long remained forgotten in drawer her
children had so often played with it as a
picture" it was torn well nigh to pieces
The number which drew the capital prize
was repeatedly announced in the newspa-
pers. but no one came to claim the valuable
clock. One clay a gentleman happened to
cuttT utr uOuSt. duu ScciuS bHc IuuClldCeC
lottery ticket stuck between the glass and
frame of alooking-glass, glanced curiously
at it, and was amazed to discover the often
advertised number of the ticket, which had
drawn the capital prize in the clock lottery
The valuable clock was given to the poor
clergyman's wife. The Emperor of Russia
offered her $4,000 cash, and life annuity
