SYMPTOMS.

Il =
The symptoms of Catarh 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 slight discharge, thin
and acrid, afterwards thick and adhesive, may Z,
ensue. @ ass ifa - Bal "a
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 of
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 sure that his disease is its way to the lungs
and should lose no time in arresting it.

Coop ADvIcE;-The last Charlotte Demo
crat gives the following good advice:
"At the risk of being called weak kneed,' ,
we will express the belief that unless the
Southern people accept the reconstruction
measure as now offered, confscation will be
enforced against them hereafter. Whatever
may happen we expect to live and die in
good old North Carolina-the fate of her
people will be our fate-therefore we again
warn them to act with great caution and
moderation. Let those who cannot cordially
cooperate In the reconstruction movement
quietly acquiesce in the situation; and,
above all, let us,endeayor to. preserve peace
among ourselves e y
AS public journalist, and with our pres
emit information, we feel it our duty to give
, this advice; but we shall not quarrel with
those who may differ with u.s. Discussion
among Southern men will do no good now.
We advocated the adoption of the How
ard amendment in order to prevent harsher
measures That plan was rejected, and we
must now accept the new plan or get worse
one forced on us in the fnture.n

In the first place, it is the only system of
free government which we can hope to have
as a nation. When it ceases to be the rule
of our conduct, we may perhaps take our
choice between complete anarchy, CONSOLE

the Union; but national liberty, regulated
by law, will have passed beyond our reach.
It is the best frame of government the
world ever saw No other is, or can be so
