An Open letter—It Spesks for Itself.

Rockpobt, Mass., April 2d, 1877. Mr. Editor : Haying read in your paper reports of the remarkable cures of catarrh, lam induced to tell “what I know about catarrh, and I fancy the “ snuff ” and “ inhatog-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 at intervals I would sniff up the so-called catarrh snuff, until I became a valuable tester for such medicines. I gradually grew worse, and no one can know how much I suffered or what a miserable being I was. My head ached over my eyes bo that! was confined to my bed for many successive days, suffering the most intense pain, which at one time lasted continuously for 168 hours. All sense of smell and taste gone, sight and hearing impaired, body shrunken and weakened, nervous system shattered, and constitution broken, ana 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 nse it with Dr. Fierce’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 I was relieved, and in three months entirely cored, and have remained so for over sixteen months. While using the Catarrh Remedy, I used Dr. Pierce’s Qolden Medical Discovery to purify my blood and strengthen my stomach. I also kept my liver active and bowels regular by the use of his Pleasant Purgative Pellets. If my experience will induce other sufferers to seek the same means of relief, this letter will have answered its

purpose. Yours truly,

S. D. REMICK.
