CATARRH.
Deafness, Blindness, and
DrOppings i'm the Throat
cured by one box of
GERMAN SNUFF.

LITcHFIELD, N. H., Jan. 49, 1876.
GENTLEMEN:
L have had Putrid Catarrh for over twenty years;
it commenced with bad cold, which being neglect
ed, soon settled into Catarrh. Since that time L
have suffered more than tongue TELL for at times
my head seemed 10 be fire, and it was impossible
to lie down account of the constant dropping in
my throat. The last four or five years have been
in agony, as in addition to Catarrh, my sight and
hearing both became impaired to such an extent that
soon grew weary of life. One day was induced to
try one box of Reder's German Snuff, but having
used almost every remedy, I done so without any
faith in its power to cure.
had not taken it three days before 1 noticed a
change for the better; at the end of week was
able to sleep with comfort, as the choking in my
throat longer troubled me, and before had used
the last of the Snuff, my sight and hearing began to
return.
AS write you this letter con truly say that your
German Snuff has saved my lAe, and had known
of its virtue in the past might by its use have saved
myself years of suffering and perfect torture.
Yours truly, MARY j. PORTER.
