SYMPTOMS.— Dull, heavy headache, obstruction of the 
nasal passages, discharges falling from the head into the 
tin oat, sometimes profuse, watery, and acrid, at others, 
thi k, tenacious, mucous, purulent, bloody, and putrid; the 
ayes are weak, watery and inflamed; there is ringing in the 
ears, deafness, hacking or coughing to clear the throat, ex¬

ulcers; the voice is changed and lias a nasal twang, the

and general debility. Only a few of the above-named symp¬

less understood by physicians. 
AN OPEN EETTER. It Speaks for Itself. 
ROCKPORT, Mass ., April 2d, 18TT. 
Mr. Editors Having read In your paper reports of the remark¬ 
able cures of catarrh, I am induced to tell “ what I know about 
catarrh,” and I fancy the “snuff” and “inhaling-tube” makers 
(mere dollar grabbers) would be glad if they could emblazon a 
similar cure in the papers. For 26 years 1 suffered with catarrh. 
The nasal passages Became completely closed. “ Snuff,” “ dust,” 
“ashes,” “ inhaling-tubes,” and “sticks,” wouldn’t work, though

fined to my bed for many successive days, suffering the most 
Intense pain, which at one time lasted continuously for 168 hours. 
Al l sense of smell and taste gone, sight and hearing impaired, body 
shrunken and weakened, nervous system shattered, and constitu¬ 
tion broken, and I was hawking and spitting seven-eighths of the 
time. I prayed for death to relieve me of my suffering. A favor¬ 
able notice in your paper of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy induced 
me to purchase a package, and use it with Dr. Pierce’s Nasal 
Douche, which applies the remedy by hydrostatic pressure, the 
only way compatible with common sense. Well, Mr. Editor, It did 
not cure me in three-fourths of a second, nor in one hour or month, 
but in less than eight minutes 1 was relieved, and in three months 
rely cured, and have remained so for over sixteen mouths, 
lie using the Catarrh Remedy, I used Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medl* 
®al Discovery to purify my blood and strengthen my stomach. I
