That's the condition of many sufferers from catarrh, especially in the morning. Great difficulty is experienced in clear ing the head and throat.
 No wonder catarrh causes headache, impairs the taste, smell and hearing, pollutes the breath, deranges the stom- ach and affects the appetite.
 To cure catarrh, treatment must be constitutional-alter and tonic.
 II was afflicted with catarrh. I took medicines of different kinds, giving each fair trial; but gradually grew worse until l could hardly hear, taste or smell. I then concluded to try Hoods Sarsaparilla, and after taking five bottles I was cured and have not had any return of the disease since." EUGENE FORBES, Lebanon, Kan.
