throat, with perhaps slight cough. The
voice NAV be more or less affected,
especially on exposure to cold or over
exertion.
I have already detailed the ann
in which the throat becomes affected
from Catarrh. By the same process OF
extension, the bronchial tubes, and
lastly the parenchyma or substance of
the lungs, in their turn, are diseased, |
and Bronchitis and Consumption firmly
established. Tightness in the chest,
with difficulty of breathing, soreness, |
darling, sharp or dull heavy pain, or a
prickly, distressing sensation, accom-
panied with more or less cough and ex-
pectoration, are evidence that the
bronchial tumbes have become affected,
and should admonish the sufferer that
he is now standing upon the stepping
stone to Consumption, over which
thousands annually tread In their slow,
yet sure, journey to the grave.
By means of a small canal called the
custodian tube, an air passage and
communication between the throat and
middle ear is formed. This passage is
lined by a continuation of the mucous
membrane which lines the throat and
nasal passages. The Catarrhal inflam-
matory pro cess by continuity of sur
face, follows the mucous membrane,
thickenipg its structure unit the Gus
tachiun tube is closed, and the beauti
full mechanism of the internal ear is
rendered useless. While the thicken-
ing of the lining mucous membrane is
going on, and the passage is gradually
becoming closed land this process some
times extends through several years.,
the patient will occasionally, while
blowing the nose, experience a crack
ing sound in one or both ears, and hear
ing becomes dull, but returns suddenly,
accompanied with a swapping sound.
This may he repeated many times, un-
| til finally hearing does not return, but
remains permanently injured. In other
cases hearing is lost so gradually, that a
considerable degree of deafness may
exist before the person is really aware
of the fact. Either condition is often
| accompanied with noises in the head, of
every conceivable description, increas-
ing the distress of h sufferer.
Plain Words and Facts for the A6Ficted.-
Physicians and patients have heretofore
sought in vain for a correct theory of
the nature and cure of Chronic Catarrh,
no medical work extant containing it.
No medical author has ever heretofore
made it a special study, and elected its
correct nature for the guidance of the
medal profession. In fact, although
the most prevalent disease which af-
hicts mankind, no other disease has
been SO sighted and unnoticed by
medical writer's, students and physi-
clans. To this fact l attribute this de-
plorable failure in its treatment and the
consequent false idea conveyed to the
public that the disease is incurable.
The best evidence of what can be done
in the treatment of any disease is to be
found in the past success of the treat
ment to be employed. An old proverb
says, what has been done may be done
again" In view of these facts, and
knowing that I nave cured thousands
of the worst cases of Catarrh, and have
never failed to effect a perfect cure
when. I have had a reasonable chance, 1
hereby offer, in good faith, $500 REGARD
for a case Of Catarrh aohich I cannot cure. I
claim that [ can cure any and every
case of it if my directions are faithfully
followed. Why then trife with this
of the sure means which l offer? Do
you not know that representation is
the thief of timer" Why try to make
light of it by thinking that it is only a
Catarrh ? Do you not know that con-
sumption and insanity are among its
frequent results, and that thereby mil
lions of graves are filed :? Do l speak
strongly? Can I speak too strongly ?
Why disgust your friends and associates
with the offensive cdor of your breath,
or by your constant hawking, blowing
and splitting, when relief is so easily
and cheapiy obtained? Is it not aduty
that o owe to others, as well as your
self, to get rid of this disgusting com
plant? Do not think that the disease
will in time wear out. On the contrary,
it will, unless cured, wear you out. Do
not think because irritating snufs, dry
ing fumigators, strong caustic or poison
Gus solutions have failed to cure you
that you cannot be cured. The world
moves and medical science is progress
sive. Many forms of disease which
would once have been entirely incura-
BILE with the means then known, are, in
the light of more recent discoveries in
medicine, very easily cured.
assert and am able to prove, by as
good evidence as was eve advanced to
s~ubstantiate any fact, that Chronic NaSat
Catay7h Is as durable as any other chronic
disease when once understood, and Gppropri-
ate remedies are administered This IS no
vain boast, but a reality. Many persons in
this locality, and hundreds and thou,
sands of eminent and reliable persons
who may be found in all parts of the
Un1UeO OCaIeS, anu III ulauy foreign
countries, can testify to this fact, hav,

mended, and been permanently cured
thereby.
Scarcely a mail arrives that does not
bring me new testimony of cures effect
ed by this treatment.
DIR. Sdge'S Catarrh Remedy does not
simply relieve but it produces perfect
and permanent cures of the worst cases
of Chronic Nasal Casarrh, as thousands
who hive used it can testify. 1t de.
stroys all offensive smell at once, and
no case can long resist its cleansing,
soothing and healing properties. 1t is
pleasant to use, and unlike several
preparations that are now being extern
sively advertised for Catarrh, it contains
no strong, irritating or .caustic drug OF
mineral or other poison. None of the
ingredients used separately o. alter
nately would effect a cure in case OF
Catarrh, yet when skillfully and chem.
ically combined in just the right pro,
portions they form a most wonderful
and valuable medicine. Like gunpow-
der, which is formed by a combination
of saltpetre, sulphur and charcoal, the
ingredients are simple, but the product
of their combination is wonderful in its
