UNIVERSALLY
RECOMMENDED,

We have just received October, 1S75)a communi-
cation from nearly every druggist in New England,
and the testimony is universally in favor of SAM
FoRD'S RADICAL CURE FOR CATARRH We believe
there never was remedy SO popular wherever
known, and certainly we feel that never was one
deserving of praise. Founded upon correct sci
entifc principles ana calculated by the most accom-
plished physicians to meet the severest forms of Ca
tarrh, the cures made by it have not only been nu-
merous, but remarkable to excite public atten-
ton and cause the sale to exceed tenold that of any
similar remedy ever before compounded
While many are anxious to make public their tes-
timony in favor of the RADICAL CURE, others-and
among this number may be found MANY of our most
respected citzens-dsliket to become publicly ident-
fed with so loathsome disease. Hence in the fol-
lowing case we are unable to give the name but are
permitted to state the severity and condition of the
case before and after using the RADICAL CURE, and
also that tine gentleman occupies responsible office
~ would not for the world permit nv name to be
used, although have no doubt it would be Of benefit
to many now suffering as have suffered; but give
you brief statement of my case:-
sFor Two years have taken bromide of
POTASH and bromide of ammonia every
day. L never passed n single night with.
out getting up once or twice to free my
throat from the matter that had dropped
into it during sleep, and finally L cOug hed
during all this time. Since taking the
RADICAL CURE L have taken NO potas-
ammonia, have slept sOundly every
night without unensiness or distress; not a
throat during sleep, and every symptom OF
a cough has left me.o
A wonderful result truly, all will say. who know
or can realize the extent and severity of this case.
satisfy the sceptcal that there great merit in the
RADICAL CURE. Its mode of preparation is new and
original Ignoring the old practices and remedies
