Ii one interview with DIR. Hartley does not ac-
compilsh more for Your head and throat than all
the advertised nostrums used for lifetime, you
pay nothing for il. Hundreds of persons i'm this
city are pleased to testify TO the skill and success
OF DIR. Hartley but prefer not TO have their
names and ailments paraded i'm public newspa-

Catarrh manifests itself 10y discharge from
the head, varying its nature i'm different cases.
and even in the same individual al different
times. Ii may bc thin. colorless. acrid fluid. or
a glary, starch-like substance: generally, how
ever, IL is n thick. purulent or nuco-puruent
matter, either grcenish yellow or of deep green
tint, occasionally streaked or fiecked with blood.
So copiops and offensive is the discharge in many
cases that the patient feels as though his whole
head was in a state of corruption.
Much of the discharge passes backward into tho
throat or collects rs "A tough, Niscid phegm be-
hind and above the soft palate. i'm the passage be-
tween the throat and head. creating "A constant
and almost irresistible desire to obtain relief by
hawking" a practice characteristic TO catarrh,
and as embarrassing TO the one affected MS IL Is
disagreeable TO those around Often the phlcgm
is SO tenacious that the most persistent and ex-
hausive efforts fail TO disodge il until some food
or stimuant is swallowed.
Again, the offensive matter deposits itself i'm
the nasal cavities in the shape of dry hard custs
which i'm some cases accumulate 10 such cx-
tent as to form regular plug, obstructing
breathing and producing serious discomfort. This
condition Is indicative of liberation. which in
time may destroy the bony structure of the nose
and produce its subsequent iiattening.
OFFENSIVE BREATH.
The breath is always tainted. and is sometimes
so reNolt1ngly offensive as to render the sufferer
an object of disgust TO himself well others
and eases are occasionally met with i'm which the
stencil lis really oyerpowing and sufficiently fetid
to poison the atmosphere of a whole room. Thus
person affected with Catarrh lives continually
In an impure atmosphere of his surround
ings. and inhales poisonous efluyium with
every breath.
In many cases the nose is stopped up. some
tllncS on one side, sometimes ON the other. and
often on both, giving rise TO a disagreeable.
stuny sensation in the head. accompanied by
occasional violent and prolonged paroxysms OF
sneeZing. Again, distressing feeling of full
ness or compression is experienced above or be-
tween the eyes, or pain manifcsts itself i'm the
lace, forehead or temples, on the top or back
OF the head, sometimes of SO severe a character
that IL is taken for neuralgia The sense of smell
is generally bunted or entirely lost, and taste
may become similarly affected.
Inc voice is husky or of a nasal character.
while oftentlmes there is continual hoarseness
accompanied 10y more or less cough excessive
debility and emaciation: indeed. I'm some in
stances the loss of flesh is SO considerable and
progressive as to suggest the existence of tuber-
ctllar disease, and not few of catarrh that
nave come under my notice have been regarded
as consumption and SO treated by unwary or in.
experienced practitioners
