Cure for Catarrh.

A writer in the Chicago Tribune's “Home Department” claims that the following is a simple and immediate cure for colds in the head, sore throat, asthma, sore nostrils, etc.: The remedy is crushed cubeb berries, smoked in a pipe, emitting the smoke through the nose. After a few trials this will be easy to do. If the nose is stopped Up so that it is almost impossible to breathe, one pipeful will make the head as clear as a bell. For sore throat, asthma and bronchitis, swallowing the smoke effects immediate relief. It is the best remedy in the world for offensive breath, and will make the most foul breath pure and sweet. Sufferers from that horrible disease, ulcerated catarrh, will find this remedy to be unequaled, and a month’s use will cure the most obstinate case. A single trial will convince any one. Eating the uncrushed berries is also good for sore throat and all bronchial complaints. After smoking do not expose yourself to the cold air for at least fifteen minutes. The berries are perfectly harmless, and there is no use' going to “catarrh doctors” while you can procure this remedy. They can be procured at any drug store. This is the best season of the year to paint houses, as the paint will last longer than if applied in the spring or summer. Fairbanks & Co., scale manufacturers, already get three gold medals at Paris.
