NASAL CATARRH.-It has become a
question with many persons suffering from
this dread nalady if a cure can be effected
by any medical treatment known TO the
world. Those who doubt that Catarrh can
be cured, as general thing, are persons
who have been for some years under almost
constant local treatment; or, in other words,
have been treating the effect and not the
cause of the disease. Blood Root, Alum,
Chlorate of Potash, Aconite. Acids of all
kinds, Camphor, Glycerine, and long
list of preparations put upon the market
by patent medicine men, and sold under
the head of CdtdTrb Cure ETC., etc. Many
of these preparations inhaled into the nos
trils not only do no good, but keep up
more or less irritation Of the membranes,
and fatal results follow. No wonder many
persons, after such line of treatment, be-
come discouraged, and conclude that Ca
tarrh cannot be cured.
But the sufferers have not been the only
class who have been in the dark. Some
of the best skilled students of nature, and
some of the most eminent medical gentle
men in this country have made great blum
ders in treating Chronic Catarrh. And
you ask why it is that some OF our most
| skillful physicians are not successfulin the
the treatment of this dread disease? The
fact is this In order to become pre-emi-
nently successful in the treatment OF any
| Chronic Disease, the student of medicine
must devote almost his whole attention to
the study and treatment of this class of
diseases; and while we find many physici-
ans who do not treat Catarrh as specially
we find few who do; hence the failure. You
would not expect physician who treated
Chronic Diseases exclusively to bean ex-
pert 10 treating Fever, or any of the
Acute Diseases generally, and why should
you expect physicians who pay little or
no attention to Chronic Diseases to be sue
cessful in their treatment of them? From
direct observation find that the American
people are too apt to grasp at the means
most ready o. access, without regard to re-
suits that must follow And those persons
must suffer On until they find some kind Of
effort to reach little out of their way, anG
avail themselves of the means of cure
which God in his goodness has given; fol
there never was, IN my opinion, a disease
without a remedy to remove it. You
would not expect to obtain wealth withoui
! an effort. Nature does not bring her mines
of gold to your door; you must go after
them, and by the effort you make you ara
sure In degree to be rewarded. Suppose
J you should go one hundred miles to OBJ
tain from a physician the remedies II
| effect cure in Chronic Disease, and b,
I so doing save your lite, does it pay? Sup
pose, on the other hand, you ale suffering
, from Chronic Cdtdqrh, you try a few
such remedies as are kept at your drug
gist's, and, iu fact, try all the remedie
within your reach, and stop here. Con
sumption overtakes you, and you die with
out having put forth an effort to obtain tn
skill of one who makes speciality of sucl
cases as your own, y0u alone must answe
for that life.
There are thousands and thousands O
people in this country that are cut off il
the bloom of youth and beauty and con
! signed to untimely graves. Why is it
Did God intend it to be so? Did he in
tend that lives of usefulness in TIE worl
would be cut off so short? | think not.

observation of Natures Laws and GU
failure to value, to high extent, the bod

WHAT ARE CHRONIC DISEAsEs2
Chronic Diseases are habits Everybod
