Bleeding from Lungs, Catarrh, Bronchitis, Consumption -A Wonderful Cure.

Rochester, N. Y., Jan. 13,1874. R. V. Pierce. M. D-, Buffalo, N. Y.: Dear Sir —l have suffered from Catarrh in an aggravated form for about twelve years and for several years from Bronchial trouble. Tried many doctors and things with no lasting benefit. In May, ’72, becoming nearly worn out with excessive Editorial labors on a paper in New York city, I was attacked with Bronchitis in a severe form, suffering almost a total loss of voice. I returned home here, but had been home only two weeks when I was completely prostrated with Hemorrhage from the lungs, having .four severe bleeding spells within two weeks , and first three inside of nine days. In the September following I improved sufficiently to be able to be about, though in a v6ry feeble state. My Bronchial trouble remained and the catarrh was tenfold worse than before. Every effort for relief seemed fruitless. I seemed to be losing ground daily. I continued in this feeble state, raising blood almost daily, until about the first of March, ’73, when I became so bad as to be confined to the house. A friend sugdfped your remedies. But I was extremely’skeptical that they would do me good, as I h«l lost all heart in remedies, and began to look upon medicine and doctors with disgust. However, I obtained one of your circulars, and read it carefully, from which I came to the conclusion that you understood your business, at least. I finally obtained a quantity of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy, your Golden Medical Discovery and Pellets, and commenced their vigorous use according to directions. To my surprise I soon began to improve. The Discovery and Pellets in a short time brought out a severe eruption, which continued for several weeks. I felt much better, my appetite improved, and I gained in strength and flesh. In three months every vestige of the Catarrh was gone, the Bronchitis had nearly disappeared, had no Cough whatever, and I had entirely ceased to rtuse blood; and, contrary to the expectation of some of my friends, the cure has remained permanent. I have had no more Hemorrhages from the Lungs, and am entirely free from Catarrh, from which I had suffered so much and so IODg. The debt of gratitude I owe for the blessing I have received at your hands knows no bounds. lam thoroughly satisfied, from my experience, that your medicines will master the worst forms of that odious disease, Catarrh, as well as Throat and Lung Diseases. I have recommended them to very many, and shall ever speak in their praise. Gratefullvyours,

Heart Disease. —Many persons suffer with heart disease without knowing it—suddenly they drop off and their fnends are astonished, on a post mortem examination, to learn that they died of heart disease. The heart, like the brain, is the seat of life—its diseases are of several characters. The most common are valvular disease, fatty degeneration, and functional derangement. If the liver becomes deranged, and digestion is impaired, the heart, through sympathy and juxtaposition, becomes abnormal. The following symptoms indicate approaching disease: Palpitation, giddiness, faintness, nervous prostration, deranged digestion, vertigo, cold extremities, etc., etc., for which the old school will administer iron, opium, antimony, mercury, and many other mineral poisons. Heart disease is a blood disease—purify the blood; remove obstructions to a limpid circulation by taking that Vegetable Alterative, Vinegar Bitters, and you will be a sound person in two or three months. 20 Wilhoft’s Fever and Ague Tonic. —This medicine is used by construction companies for the benefit of their employes, when engaged in malarial districts. The highest testimonials have been given bv contractors and by the Presidents of some of the leading railroads In the Sopth and West. When men are congregated in‘large numbers in the neighborhood of swamps and rivers, Wilhoft’s Tonic will prove a valuable addition to the stock of medicines, and will amply reward the company in the saving of time, labor and money. We recommend ft to all. Wheelock, Finlay &Co., Proprietors, New Orleans. Fob Sale by all Druggists. Many people, particularly children, suffer with the ear ache; and for the benefit of such we give a sure but simple remedy: Put in two or three drops of Johnson's Anodyne Liniment, stop the ear with undressed wool, bathe the feet in warm water before going to bed, and keep the head warm at night. Capt. Charles Sager, who keeps a superb stock of livery horses in Portland, Me., informed us recently that he uses Sheridan't Cavalry Condition Powders regularly in his stables, and the expense is more than offset by the diminished amount of grain necessary to keep his horses always in good order. No Time to be Lost.—ln the incipient stages of Consumption, the first svmptoms are generally a hacking cough—pains in the chest—difficulty of breathing—or oppression of the lungs. Something should be done at once to check the cougn, allay and heal the irritated parts. Allen's Lung Balsam will break up the' cough in an incredible short time; also prevent the formation of tubercles. Where tubercles are once formed the disease is hard to cure. For sale by all Medicine Dealers. Pbussing’s White Wine Vinegar, warranted pure and to preserve pickles. A superb article.
