AN OPEN LErTER---lT SPEAKS
FOR ITSELF.

RoCKPoRT, Mass, April 2, 1877.
MIR. EDITOR:-Having read in your pa.
| per reports of the remarkable cures OF ca
larrh, 1 am induced to tell "what l know
about catarrh." and L fancy the "snuf"
| and ssinhaling tube" makers (mere dol
lar grabbers) would be glad if they could
| EN- blaZon similar cure in the papers.
| For 26 years suffered with catarrh. TAe
nasal passages became completely closed.
| "Snutin dust" "ashes," "inhaling-
tubes" and "sticks" wouldn't work,
though at intervals l would sniff up the
so.called catarrh snuff, until became
valuable tester for such medicines. l
gradually grew worse, and no one can
| know how much l suffered or what
miserable being was. My head ached
| over my eyes until L was connned 10 my
| bed Tor many successive days, suffering
| the most intense pain. which at one time
lasted continuously for l6S hours. All
| sense OF smell and taste gone, sight and
bearing impaired, body shrun ken
and weakened nervous system snat
| tered and constitution broken, and was
| hawking and splitting seven-eightns ofthe
time. | prayed Tor death TO reneve me OF
my suffering. A favorable notice in your
paper OF DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy in
dueed me to purchase package and use
| 1t with DIR. Pierce's Nasal DOuche. which
applies the remedy by hydrostatic pres
sure. the only way compatible with COM
mon sense. Well, Mr.. Editor, it did not
cure me in three-iourths of a second, nor
in one hour or month, but in less than
| elEnt minutes WAS TtlleNtu, anu Ill
three months entirely cured, and have
remained so over sixteen months. While
using the Catarrh remedy, l used DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery to pu-
rify my blood and strengthen my stom-
ach. 1 also kept my liver active and
bowels regular by the use of his Pleasant
Purgative Pellets. If my experience will
induce other sufferers 10 seek the same
means of relief, this letter will have an
swered its purpose.
Yours lruly, 3. u. kEMlCh.
