In the Coils
From Childhood

I have suffered with catarrh since
was years old, but 1t has annoyed
me more in the last two years.
l tried everything l read or heard
OF, but they did me no good and
saw your advertisement in a paper
and wrote to you and received a sam
pie package 1 was impressed so ia
vorably with the sample that l i'm
mediately sent for the full treatment.
I suffered much with the dropping
back into my throat, and after / had
taken the medicine for three or four
weeks this nasty sensation entirely
ceased, and have never had any re-
turn of it, l am now fully cured of
my catarrh and | am very grateful to
you and your medicine
] viii be very glad to tell any one
whom | think needs it, and II you
wish to use my name you may do so.
as / am so grateful that l wish ev-
erybody who needs 1t would use it,
and l an sure that 1t will cure them.

take something for your catarrh: I'll
tell you how my cousin got cured, and
every doctor used to say he had tac
worst case he ever heard about"
Now, when n friend puts his hand
on my shoulder, | gulp in preparation
for Catarrh advice. This gulp is not
mere throat action, but the swallow o.
ing of mucus, Nothing could suit me
better than to have the earth open
and swallow me up.
l walk along the street close to the
curb stone. When | ride on a car. I
stand on the rear platform rather
than sit down inside.
| wish l could talk without having
to open my mouth to breathe. ! wish
that kisses were obsolete. I wish that
handkerchiefs could be turned into
sheets. | wish that no chair but
mine would be placed at the table.
| wish that other people were deaf,
blind and without noses.
