taste, of sight. of hearing, the human voice,
the mind-one or more, and sometimes all,
yield to its destructive influence. The poison
1t distributes throughout the system attacks
every vital force, and breaks up the most ro-
bust of constitutions. Ignored, because but
little understood by most physicians, impotent-
ly assailed by quacks and charlatans, those suf-

LUCRATIVE CATARRH.

my system had become so poisoned with ca
tarrh that it caused me great suffering. The
tough tenacious mucous in my throat would
choke me terribly. My throat was so inflamed
that could not swallow without great pain
The disease also affected my head, so that
pieces of bone came from my nose, and 1t even
ate holes through the roof of my mouth. I had
ringing sounds and much pain in my ears, dig
illness and belching OF gas from my stomach.
After trying many treatments of various kinds,
l began treatment with the physicians of
the Catarrh and Dyspepsia Institute, at No.
2 Ninth street, and am glad to state that the
above aches and pains are all cured and am
enjoying better health than have for years. "
