BOSTON DRUGGIST,

Gentlemen-I hereby certify that have had Catarlh

terrible sufferer. | rendered partially deaf had
buzzing in the head, pains across the temple dizzy
spells, weak and painful eyes, swollen and liberated
tOnsils hard and constant cough, severe pain across
the chest, and every indication Of cOnsumLtlon NV
head ached all the time The matter accumulated SO
rapidly in my head and throat that could not keen
them free. Frequently at night would spring out of
bed, it seemed to me, at the point of sutfocaton l
would then have recourse to every means in my power
to slodge the from my throat and head before
being able to sleep again. For period of six years
my tonsils were liberated and much infamed that
could with difficulty swallow. l finally consulted an
eminent surgeon in regard to an operation them,
but at his request postponed it. The constant nam-
nation and liberation in my throat caused by the pois
onous matter dropping down from my head had so IL
rtated and infamed my lungs that l coughed inces-
santly,-a deep, hard cough. Meanwhile my system
began to show the effect of this disease that lost
fesh grew PALE and showed every symptom of an early
deaf by consumption When matters had reached this
stage or about six months ago, began the use of
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE FOR CATARRH. After using
the first bottle began to improve rapidly. The first
dose seemed to clear my head had known il to
be for years. 1t seemed gradually to arrest the dis
charges. 1t stopped my cough in three days. By using
it as garge 1 reduced the inflammation and
swelling of my tonsis, so that they ceased to
