AN OPEN LErTER---iT SPEAKS
FOR ITSELF.

RooKPoRT, Mass, April 2, 1877.
Mr.. EDIrOk:-Having read in your pa
per reports OF the remarkable cures OF Ca
tarrh. am induced to tell what know
about catarrh," and l fancy the "snuff"
and s.inhaling tube" makers (mere dol
lar grabbers) would be glad If they could
en- blazon a similar cure in the papers.
For 26 years l suffered with catarrh. The
nasal passages became completely closed.
| "Snuti,v dust" "ashes,n "inhaling-
tubes" and "sticks" wouldn't work,
though at intervals would sniff up the
so.called catarrh snuff, until became a
valuable tester for such medicines. l
gradually grew worse, and no one can
know how much l suffered or what u
miserable being l was. My head ached
| over my eyes until was confined TO my
| bed Tor many successive days, suffering
| the most intense pain. which Mt one time
lasted continuously for l6S hours. All
sense OF smell and taste gone, sight and
hearing impaired, body shrunken
ana weakened nervous system snat-
tered and constitution broken, and was
hawking and splitting seven-eighths of the
tinfe. prayed Tor death to relieve me OF
my suffering. A favorable notice in your
paper OF Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy in
duced me to purchase package and use
| il vii h DIR. Pierce's Nasal Douche, which
applies the remedy by hydrostatic pres
sure. the only way compatible with COM
mon sense. Well, Mr. Editor, ii did not
cure me in three. ourths of a second, nor
| in one hour or month, but in less than
| eight minutes / was relieved, and in
| three months entirely cured. and have
| remained so over sixteen months. While
using The Catarrh remedy, L used DIR.
| rierce's Golden Medical Discovery to pu-
| riIy my blood and strengthen my stom-
| ach. 4 also kept my liver active and
bowels regular by the use OF his Pleasant
| Purgative Pellets. lfmy experience Will
| induce other sufferers 10 seek the same
means o. relief, this letter will have an
swered its purpose.
Yours ruiy, y. ID. REMlCk.
