CURE FOR CATARRH.
A Remedy which an Old Virginian
Says Is InfaIIible.

A Remedy which an Old Virginian
Says Is infailible.
An old Virginia horse breeder who is
visiting in New York claims to have an
infallible cure for catarrh. ut seems to
me-" he said that 80 per cent of the
people of New York city suffer more
or less from catarrh. If they will do
as | suggest. they can cure themselves
in short order
"A friend of mine who used to live
in Yonkers had such a severe case of
catarrh that he was compelled to give
up his business and go to Colorado.
The doctors told him that the high alti-
tude of that state would benefit him.
He remained in Colorado nearly year
and then founa himself as badly off as
when he left Yonkers. After he had
made up his mind that nothing could
cure him and that he might as well
die at home as among strangers he met
an old tinker, who gave him the rene
dy, which cured him in three months.
dissolve little powdered alum in q
pint Of cider vinegar. Use the solution
as gargle three or four times day.
1t won't do any harm if you swallow
some of it. Two or three times day,
but particularly just before going to
bed, dip a chicken feather in vaseline
and stick the feather up the nostrils.
suppose any contrivance bought at
drug store for the purpose will do just
as well as a chicken feather, but the
old tinker insisted that there was some
medicinal virtue in the feather
1.-THE gargle clears the throat and the
lower portions of the air passages from
the nostrils. The vaselne heals the dis
eased condition of the affected parts.
In week the sufferer will feel better,
and if he will keep up the treatment he
can be assured that he will be cured"
