Have You risen from your bed after short sleep
to find yourself nearly tuffocated with Catarrhal
matter IN your nose, head, and throat? Have you
noticed what depressing influence 1t exercises on
the mind, bunting its faculties, besides enervating
the body as well? How difficult to rid the head OF
this ioul matter all can tesfy who are afflicted with
Catarrh. How dfcuIt to protect the system against
its further progress towards the lungs and bron-
cha tubes, all physicians can testify 1t is tern,
from the danger of sufocation while lying down /;
to breathe freely, sleep soundly and undisturbed;
to know that no poisonous, putrid matter denies
the breath and undermii es the system; to know
that the body does not through its veins and arter-
ies carry the poison that is SIRE to destroy Is IN
deed bless ing. To purchase immunity from snch
a fate should be the object OF all afflicted. But
those who have tried many remedies and physi.
clans despair of relief or cure. They become in
credulous. With such the long array OF testlmon-
ias from our best citizens, ply sicians, and drug
pists in favor of
