SYMPTOMS.

The symptoms OF Catarrh are at hrst 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.
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 of. The secretions offensive, caus-
ing bad breath the voice thick and nasal the
eyes weak; the sense of smell is lessened or
Destroyed deafness frequently takes place.
Another common and important symptom O.:
Catarrh is that the person is Obliged to clear his
throat in the morning OF a slick Shiny niue Gus ,
which has fallen from the head during the night.
When this takes place the person may be sure that
his disease is on its way to the lungs, and should
lose no time in arrestlng it.
The above are but few of the many Catarrhal
symptoms. Write to Laboratory for our
pamphlet describing fully all symptoms; it will
be sent FREE so any address. Also directions
where to procure the medicine.
We are receiving letters from all parts OF the
Union, and also numerous testimonials from

Bile merits.
