MURDERED AT HOME. Ainos J. Snell, a Chicago Millionaire, Shot Down in His Own House by Burglars. A Chicago dispatch says that “Amos J. Snell, the millionaire real-estate man, was murdered by unknown burglars in the ' parlor-floor hallway of his residence at No. 425 Washington boulevard, about 2 o'clock "Wednesday morning. He was shot dead with scarcely a moment’s warning while battling fearlessly in defense of his life, his home, and his property against midnight robbers and assassins. The shocking and bloody tragedy created a , profound sensation, not only in the imme- | diate neighborhood where it occurred, but ■ throughout the entire city. The atrocity of | the crime has seldc u been paralleled, and ■ the abruptness with which the news of its perpetration was flashed from house to house, and from shop to shop, caused men, women, and children to shiver involuntarily at the thought of their unprotection from such deeds of violence. There is no clew to the perpetrators of the murder, and it is feared they will never be brought to justice. A. J. Snell, the murdered man. was the largest land-holder in Cook County. He was the owner of 360 marble-front | houses in Chicago, and was worth at least $3,000,000. _ POSTAL SERVICE. Wonderful Growth of tin 1 Postofliee Business. A bill has been introduced and favorably reported by the House Committee on Postofliee to provide for a Fourth Assistant Postmaster General, says a Washington dispatch. The investigation which preceded the reporting of this bill furnishes a very interesting exhibit of the growth of the country since 1836, when a similar bill to relieve the hirst Assistant Postmaster General was passed by creating the office of Third Assistant Postmaster General. In that period the number of postotiices has increased from 11,000 to 55,000; the extent of post routes from 118,261 miles to 473,142 mjjes; the revenue of the department from $3,408,323 to $48,837,609; the expenditure of the department from $3,841,765 to $53,006,104; the amount of salaries to Postmasters from $812,803 to $11,929,481; the amount paid for transportation of mails from $1,638,052 to $29,806,508. _ Democratic Congressional Committee. The Democratic members of the House met in caucus in Washington on the Bth inst., and elected the following Congressional Committee: Alabama, James T. Jones; Arkansas, Thomas C. Mcßae; Cali oruia. T.

A Birmingham (Ala.) special says: Tom Ellis, editor of the Hornet, who was shot by Detective Sullivan, is dead. How he lived so long after being shot is a mystery .even to physicians. His pulse ceased to beat thirteen hours before he died, and three hours before he stopped breathing his limbs were cold and rigid. Internal hemorrhage was the immediate cause of death. Ellis was editor of the Hornet, a weekly paper which has very generally been considered a disgrace to Birmingham. He made a bitter personal attack on Detective Sulbvan. The two met in a saloon, drew pistols simultaneously, and “fought to a finish.” ' ' Millions in Gold at Stake. An Ishpeming (Mich.) dispatch says “a lawsuit, with millions on each side, over what promises to prove a valuable .i.old property, is pending. The property is a forty-acre tract near Ishpeming, ".djoining the Lake Shore Superior Company's find, where quartz assaying $40,000 to the ton was discovered last summer. The Michigan Gold Company, formed by Cleveland and Chicago men, dispossessed by force the Pittsburg and Marquette syndicate, claiming the property, and have since had a large force of men at work. ’ The bill directing the Secretary of the Treasury to omit all duties upon importations of animals fcr breeding purposes, whether imported for the importer’s own use or for sale, passed the Senate on the Bth inst. It provides that the fact of such importation shall be a sufficient defense in any pending action. Messrs. Stewart and Mitchell advocated the passage of- the bill allowing the sale of certain mineral lands to aliens. The House of .Representatives passed the bill making bills of lading conclusive evidence in certain cases. It prov.des that whenever any common carrier or its agent signs and delivers any bill of lading, purporting to be for merchandise received by such carrier for transportation from one State to another within the United States or to any foreign country, such 'bill of lading in the hands of any bona-fide holder, for valuable consideration, who acquired the same in the usual course of trade without any notice of any defect therein, shall be conclusive evidence that the goods described therein were actually received by such carrier in the manner and for the purpose therein stated. EAST. Ten prisoners escaped from the County Jail at Uniontown, Pa., by breaking through the rotten floor of an unused cel into the cellar, and, making a hole in tht wall, crawled through. Three people were killed and thirteen hurt in a smash-up on the New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio Bailway at Steamburg, a station half-way between Saiamanca and Jamestown. The lightning express —the fastest train on the road— was half an hour late, and tore through the little town at a terrific rate of speed. While passing a freight train which had been side-tracked the engine of the express struck a broken frog, over which it passed safely, but the dax coach left the track and crashed into the freigbt caboose, the sides of both cars being torn to splinters. On that side of th< coach sat Miss Hattie Abbott, aged 26, and two relatives, Mrs. Cyrus Battey ami Miss Bessy Battey, all three of Sheffield 111. Miss Abbott was killed almost instantly, Mrs. Battey was* dangerously injurei internally, and Miss Battey was slightlx hurt. There were about a dozen passengt rin the car, and not one escaped injury. In the caboose of the freight train th crew sat eating their dinner. Four mei were on the side next the express train Two of them —Conductor George Lilis an« .Brakeman James Dean, both of Meadville

—were killed. Brakeman H. Shaffer, also of Meadville, was terribly injured and can hardly live, while the fourth man miraculously escaped without a scratch. A ' number of freight ears were completely demolished. Thirteen persons were more or less seriously injured. The formation of the great proposed { rubber trust is now a question of only a few days, says a New York telegram. Those concerns which can manufacture rubber goods at the lowest rates will be continued in operation, while the others will shut down. The factories kept in operation will make different grades of goods, with the result of making more goous with less labor and at a much smaller cost. Instead of 8 and 9 per cent, profit, as at present, the firms interested will then be able to realize over 15 per cent, annually. The formation of this trust will have three great results. The profits for the producers will become higher and several thousand workmen will then be thrown out of employment without any other resources to fall back upon. The combine involves a working capital of $50,000,000 and an annual trade of $100,000,000. WEST. A dynamite explosion at the works of the Hancock Chemical Company, near Hancock. Mich, destroyed No. 2 packing I house and blew down the building adjoin- ' ing. Three men, J. A. Armond, John Olson, and Adam Y’tsila, were instantly killed. The explosion was of terrific force. Sioux Falls (Dak.) special: “It is the purpose of the Territorial Superintendent J of Public Instruction to compile a list of I every person who perished in Dakota dur- ! ing the fatal snow-storm of the 12th of j January last, for general distribution. The i woik of gathering statistics is being peri formed by County Superintendents of Schools. The object of the publication is to contradict the exaggerated reports circulated throughout the States.” Plainview (Neb.) special: “Miss Louie M. Boyce, the school-teacher who laid on the prairie all night during the recent blizzard, with three of her pupils, all of whom died in her arms, had both feet amputated here on Tuesday. Her left arm is badly deformed by large pieces of flesh dropping off, but physicians say it will probably not be necessary to amputate it.” A San Francisco dispatch says that H. P. Noyes left Round Valley, on snowshoes for Bodie, taking four days’ rations and his dog. Nearly three weeks after- ' ward his dog returned alone in a starving condition. Friends started out on the trail and found the dead body of Noyes in Boek Creek Canyon, lying on his face in the snow. The dog staved with the body two weeks without food, although the rations which Mr. Noyes had taken with him were lying by his side. The track which the dog had beaten around the body and outside coyote tracks clearly showed the animal had been defending the body, and, although food was lying within reach, would not touch it without his master’s permission. __ SOUTH. Shenandoah City" was the scene of a terrible riot which resulted in the shooting of seven men. While employes of the Shenandoah City Colliery, which is owned by the Beading Company, were on their way home they were met by a lot of boys who hooted and jeered at them. The men i ! kept on and paid no attention to the ' boys until they became so rough | that the coal and iron policemen were I compelled to interfere. A few minutes later a mob of 500 strikers pounced upon the men who had assailed the boys, and the officers opened tire on the crowd. John Cathers, Mike Heffern, Patrick Brennan, John Brown, two Hungarians, and one of j the coal and iron police were wounded, one I probably fatally. Four of the strikers \ were arrested, taken to a justice office, and ? held to bail. Later the strikers made a ; rush on the Magistrate’s office, broke the windows, and almost tore out the front. Burglars entered the jewelry store of Chapman A Gale, in Norfolk. Ya., through a skylight, took the door off the safe, and stole all the diamonds, gold watches, and valuable jewelry in the stock of the firm. The latter were carrying a large stock of ! the Rockford Watch Company’s goods, which they were selling on the club plan. The value of the goods stolen is estimated at $30,090. No trace of the burglars has yet been ascertained. Tom Ellis, editor of the Birmingham, Ala., Herald, was shot by Detective Sullivan for publishing a libel. j Six children of Lester Singletary, of i Columbus County, South Carolina, were I burned to death while their parents were > attending church. WASHINGTON. A petition was presented to the U. S. Senate on Friday from the President of the Johnson & Fuller Manufacturing Company of Madison, Wis., for the abolition of all import duties on agricultural mai chinery, on the ground that such duties • were superfluous and useless, and that no j agricultural machinery would be imported ; if the duties were wholly discontinued. A Washington dispatch states that : “the President has approved and promul- ! gated a revision of the civil-service rules, ■ which makes several very important changes in the system of appointments upon tests of fitness applied to applicants for places in the departments at "Washington and in the classified customs offices and postoffices. The commission has also revised the civil-service regulations to conform to the new rules. These revisions have been under consideration by i the commission during the greater part of a year, and both have received careful consideration by President Cleveland. He read them at" length several times, and made changes and modifications both of I matter and phraseology. Not one of the । old rules or regulations remains in its ' original form.” LABOR. Clarke A Co.’s Solar Iron Works, at Pittsburg, have resumed operations with non-union men. A collision took place at Pittsburgh, Pa., between the non-union men at the Solar Iron Works and the strikers. Pistols were used, and three persons were shot, one, a boy, it is thought fatally. At Pottsville, Pa., a number of disobedient Knights of Labor went to work in a colliery, and when they emerged from the mine they were met by an angry mob of women, two gray-haired beldames bearing rusty muskets in their hands. A young lass made an impassioned appeal to the recreant workmen, and ended by flinging a loaf of bread among them. This was followed by a bread bombardment from the rest of the excited women, and nothing but the rapid departure of a train of cars in ' which the non-striking miners took refuge ' prevented a scene of bloodshed. War is raging between the striking miners at Shenandoah, Pa., and those who are employed there. The strike at the Illinois Central yards at Centralia, 111., has been prajtially patched up. J POLITICS? The Minnesota Republican League had a two days’ conference at Minneapolis. Candidates and platforms were not discussed, the League voting to support the Republican candidate for President. F. E. Searles of St. Cloud was elected per1* manent chairman of the League. Resolutions were passed pledging the State to the Republican party, extending sympathy to

Ireland, and scoring the Democratic party for not admitting Dakota. A protection resolution was voted down. The Republican State Central Committee met at New Orleans on Tuesday and : filled the vacancies on the ticket, which, 1 reconstructed, will stand as follows: Gov- ; I ernor, Henry C. Warmoth of Plaquemine: . Lieutenant Governor, Andrew Hero of Orleans; Auditor, James Forsythe of Catahoula; Treasurer, Benjamin F. Flanders of Lafayette; Secretary of Slate, John F. Pat- ' ty (colored) of Terrebonne; Attorney General, Robert Bay of Ouachita. The committee decided that the office of Su- ' perintendent of Public Instruction was non-politieal, and voted to support Joseph A. Breaux of Iberia, the Democratic candidate for that position. Warmoth announces his acceptance of the nomination for Governor in a public letter. He is in strict accord with most of the principles enunciated in the Democratic State platform. He favors white supremacy, promises the retention of faithful servants in office, and advises Republicans in local contests to vote for the best man, hoping that Democrats will do the same. FOREIGN. The announcement that Prince BisI march would speak on the military bill attracted an enormous crowd to the vicinity of the Reichstag, says a Berlin dispatch of the 7tfi inst. Long before the day’s business began the galleries were filled to overflowing. Prince Bismarck was enthusiastically greeted on his way to the Reichstag palace by dense crowds which lined the route. When he entered the Reichstag he was received with deafening cheers. The House proceeded with the first reading of the military loan bill, and Prince Bismarck arose to address the House. He said: I do not believe I can add anything to the true state of the case regarding the bill. I do not address you on that account. My object is to spoak of the general situation of Europe. I may confine myself to referring to what I said ou the same subject over a year ago. There has been very little change since then, when I feared war with Franco. Since then Franco has elected a peace-loving President, and a pacific disposition has prevailed. 1 can. therefore, reassure the public that so far as France is concerned the prospect has become more peaceful. Regarding Russia also 1 am of no other opinion than when I said that we ha\e to apprehend no attack from Russia The situation must not be judged from press comments. Tho Russian newspapers I do not believe. I believe the Czar s word absolutely. The situation on the whole is no’ different from that of 1879. I grant that the con entration of Russian troops on the front.o; may appear serious, but I perceive no causa or pretext for a Russian or European war. Russia lias no interest to conquer Prussian or Austrian provinces. Indeed, Igo so far in my confidence as to say that even a war with France would not necessitate a war with Russia, although the latter eventually would involve the former. It is true that I cannot demand au explanation from the Russian foreign Office regarding the concentration of troops on the j frontier, but having been well acquainted with | Russia's foreign policy for a generation I may I have my own opinion of the matter. I believe j the Russian Cabinet intends to make Russia h > voice heard at the next European crisis, and, | therefore, wishes to push her military forces as , far westward as possible. Prince Bismarck then reviewed the relations of Prussia with Russia since 1848. I Frequently, he said, they had bad a menacing aspect, but at all times the calmness ; and conscientiousness displayed by the 1 ministers on the Prussian side toward the ' threatening position of Russian affairs- a position of which foreign countries had no i idea—had succeeded in averting mischief. He continued: Austria is our natural ally in the dangers i which threaten uh from Russia and 1 rance; but I there is no need to fear the hatred Os Russia. I No wars are waged from mere hatred, tor other I wise Franco would have to be at war with Italy I and the whole world. The strength wo i<os>i’s, ; will reassure our public opinion and allay tho nervousness of the bourse and tbe pro*,. Our task now is to strengthen this streng’.K It must not be said that others can place the -amo de tensive frontier force us we are aldo to do, If we aro attacked, then the um r Teuton os will flame. Wo hope to remain nt peace with Kus sia, as with aii other pow .us. but w e do not J run after anybody. Russia has no grounds for I complaint of Germany's attitude on the Bulge i nun question. Prince Bismarck reiterated the confidence i that Germany felt m her army, and declared that Germany fear, d only the God which makes us wish to foster peace." GENERAL. A PITTSBURGH dispatch says that a natural-gas expert has returned to that city from Chicago with some bottled samples ot’ the now fuel as found there. An analysis shows it to be natural eas, but of that quality known as surface gas. It is totally useless as a fuel because of lack ot quantity, and has no more pressure than is to be found at the month of an illumiuat- ! ing or artificial gas-burner. This expert says that it' Chicago wants to use natural gas as a fuel she must pipe it for a longer distance than has yet been done even in the natural-gits regions of Pennsylvania, j He says it will have to be piped from sec lions of Indiana and Ohio. Bradstreet’s, in its review of the trade, : outlook, has these encouraging words: The movement of merchandise at Boston, , New York. Pittsburg, Louisville, Memphis, Chi- : cago, St. Paul, Burlington, Kansas City, St. Joseph, St. Louis, and Now Orleans has generally j tended to increase, the snow blockade having ! been raised, and the progress of trade | being toward increased activity. From ■ all directions word conics that the out- • look for spring business was never better, and I that the volume of goods distributed during | January exceeded the like total in 1887. I An examination of railroad earnings per mile ! for four years shows that seventy companies ; earned an average of $>,538 per mile in 1887, | against >5,15.1 in iss.;, 85,194 in .1885, mid 85,-.32 in I lAsp The outlook is uncertain for the coal- ; miners strike in the near future. Within a ■ month twenty-three iron furnaces have banked ■ their fires, owiu i mainly to increased cost of i coni, rendering 2.2'0 employes idle. The re- . ports of business failures number 280 in the I United Stat, s this week, against 25'J hist week, and 242 this week last year. The United States Government will arm postal employes employed ou the exposed , Western railroad routes. MARKETREPORTS. NEW YORK.

WEAK AND NERVOUS WOMEN. How Strength of Nerves and Health of ( Body May Easily He Obtained. i Women are groat; sufferers from nervous- * ness, weakness, nervous prostration, and ex- J haustion. They droop arid languish under I household cares and work which never ends. 1 They retire tired and wake tired and unre- 1 fresuod; they are worn out and exhausted in * nerve and vital power, and have no strength < or energy. 1 Fortunately—and it would almost seem a dispensation' of Divine Providence to overworked humanity—there aro medicines which i restore lost nerve forces, rebuild tbe weakened ( system and re-establish health, strength and energy. These medicines, which are purely vegetable, have been combined into a wonderful remedy known as Dr. Greene’s Nervura Nerve Tonic, which is kept by all druggists at §1 per bottle. This truly wonderful remedy is without doubt the greatest discovery of the ] century, and is the best strengthening and invigorating remedy ever known. For nervous and physical exhausion, weak, tired and languid feelings, with no power or ambition for exertion, it is a sovereign remedy and absolutely certain cure. In cases of sleeplessness and nervous irritability its use will be followed by calm repose and natural, refreshing sleep. For nervousness, nervous debility, exhausted vitality, despondency and depression of the mind it is a perfect specific. For malar.a, neuralgia, rheumatism, paralysis, numbness, trembling and insanity it is the only positive and recognized remedy. It never fails to cure nervous and sick headache, weakness and pain m the back and side, palpitation of the heart, apoplexy, epileptic fits, hysteria, St Vitus’ dance, dyspepsia, indigestion, loss of appetite, constipation, biliousness, kidney and liver aiseasesj Other medicines may be offered by druggists, but do not be persuaded to try uncertainties, when by tho use of this wonderful remedy you can certainly bo cured. Should vour druggist not have Dr. Greene’s Nervura Nerve Tonic, ho will get it for you if you insist upon having it Dr. Greene, its discoverer, is the great specialist in the cure of nervous and chrouic diseases, anil ho may bo consulted by those using this remedy, or by any sufferer from disease, free of charge, at his office, 35 "West 14th st., New York, personally or by letter. Wills. We suppose tho general public are scarcely aware of the advisability of having their wills reconsidered from time to time when changes are made in investments, or in the constitution of corporations or companies in which their money is invested. Probably nine laymen out of ten would be surprised to hear that a learned Judge has said that a gift of fifty shares in an incorporated unlimited banking company can not possibly pass shares in an ' incorporated company formed by such of the shareholders who choose to be- ; come members of the corporation j formed alter the date of the will, and . formed by registration under the companies’ acts of D 62 to 18-0. A layman would doubtless say that a gift of . a share in the X batik will not j be lost because of such changes; that they are really much the same thing. ' But Mr. Justice Kay says they are as “different a t li.'ht from darkness.” In Ilie particular case there were other circumstances, but the opinion is too clearly stated to be safely disregarded. After some fresh evidence had been given in this case anil a previous | misapprehension corrected, it ap- । peared that the old company was incorporated and unlimited, while the ; new one was “limited,” the shares being of a different nominal amount, and Mr. Justice Kay without hesitation d dared that the shares could not pass. No opinion was given as to the effect ' of registration of a bank as limited, where the shares remain the same in nominal amount, and no allegation except that of limitation of liability is efi fected; but it would certainly seem t ie most prudent plan for testators to execute codicils, imd save their famiii s from the wretched dispub s which are likely to follow bequests which convey a very definite meaning to the ob eels of the testator's bounty, although they may not have the same signification to legal eves. It will be remembered, ; also, that in Luard vs. l ane it was held by ) ice Uhancellor Hall that debenture stock which had been converted from debentures did not pass by a gift of "all my debentures.” One can hardly doubt that if the testator had been in court to hear his will construed (as according to a well-known story was the case in one instance where it was mistakenly supposed that the testator was dead ', he would have been inclined to demur to tho interpretation put upon the document.— I l.aic 'limes. The Number id Stars. Some astronomers have devoted spe- ; eial attention to counting the number j of stars which may be seen with the 1 naked eye, and the result has been I that, even to persons gifted with more ; than ordinary powers of vision, there : are not so many as 4,000 stars at any I one time visible above the horizon, j But a very different result presents itI self when the heavens are surveyed I through a telescope. Countless num- ■ bers of stars come into view which , were previously invisible, and tbe more powerful the telescope used the great- ; er number of stars revealed to observa--1 tion, until finally the conclusion is ari rived at that tbe number of stars visi- । ble in the heavens is limited only by , I tbe optical capacity of the instrument j which the surveyor may employ in his ; survey. A familiar illustration of this ■ is furnished by the well-known group ! of stars known as the Pleiades. Sur- | veyed with the naked eye, this interest- : ing object is seen to consist only of ■ some six or seven stars; but when observed with an ordinary opera glass the entire field of view is filled with a beautiful congeries as distinct stars. The great astronomer, Sir William Herschel, who far’ surpassed other astronomers in the profundity of his explorations of the stellar heavens, has left upon record some striking results of his observations illustrative of the immense multitude of stars which a powerful telescope is capable of revealing. It may be proper to remark that when the stars are surveyed even with a telescope of moderate capacity they are seen traveling in quick succession through the field of view of the instrument, an optical illusion attributable to the diurnal revolution of the earth upon its axis. Herschel, while engaged in surveying some regions of the Milky M ay, found that in the short interval of a quarter of an hour as many as 116,000 stars passed through the field of his telescope. On another occasion he estimated that in forty-one minutes there passed in review before him the immense number of 253,000 stars. — Good Words. A Brooklyn stableman, working for sl2 a week, finds that he is heir to $500,000 worth of real estate in New York City. He has retained two lawyers, and hopes to get enough cf the $500,000 to enable him to go on a vacation, “Then let the moon usurp tho rule of day, And winking tapers show tne sun his way; For what my senses can perceive I need no revelation to believe. Ladies suffering from any of ths weaknesses or ailments peculiar to their sex, and who will use Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription according to directions, will experience a genuine revelation in the benefit they wid receive. It is a positive cure for the most complicated and obstinate cases of weak back, ’female weakness,” and ail functional disorders that render the lives of so many women miserable and joyless.

Happiness. The foundation of happiness is health. A I man with an imperfect digestion may be a [ millionaire, may be the husband of an angel ' and the father of half a dozen cherubs, and 1 yet be miserable if ho bs troubled with dys- ; pepsia, or any of tho disorders arising from I imporiect digestion or a sluggish liver. Dr. ’ Pierce’s Pleasant Purgative Pellets are the j safest and surest remedy for these marbid ; conditions. Being purely vegetable, they are < perfectly harmless.

JACOBS 03^ NEURALGIA. Nerves.— Everyone of the thread-like nerves has each a latent power to cause excruciating pain, the limit of which is sjniply the limit of human endurance, and Neuralgia has a few of these fibrous torments all pulsing painfully at once. CHARACTERISTICS. Subtile Pain.— Nothing is so subtile in its approach; nothing so flagrant, acute and distressing, and certainly nothing yet discovered so completely subdues its ravages and so permanently conquers its pangs as that above mentioned. SYMPTOMS. Symptoms.— Neuralgia is defined to be a nerve disease, the chief symptom of which is an acute pain, intermitting, which follows the course of the nerve branch affected. TKEATM ENT. Treatment.— Apply St. Jacobs Oil frequently, gently rubbing the afflicted parts; apply to the whole extent of the nerve soreness; keep up a gentle friction until a burning sensation is produced.

SYMPTOMS OF CATARKH.-Dull heavy headache, obstruction of the nasal passages, discharges falling from the head into the throat, sometimes profuse, watery and acrid, at others, thick, tenacious, mucout purulent, bloody and putrid; the eyes are weak, watery, and inflamed; there is ringing in the ears, deafness, hacking or coughing to clear tbe throat, expectoration of offensive matter, together with scabs from ulcers; the voice is changed and has a nasal twang; the breath is offensive; suiell and taste are impaired; there is a sensation of dizziness, with mental depression, a hacking cough and general debility. Only a Xorr of the above-named symptoms are likely to be present in anv one case. Thousands of cases annually, without manifesting half of the above symptoms, result in consumption, and end in the grave.

My ease -was such a bad one, that every day, towards sunset, my voice would become so hoarse 1 could barely speak above a whisper. In the morning mv coughing and clearing of mj’ throat would ultnos; strangle me. By the uso of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy, it- three months, I was a well man, and the cure has been permanent.” “Constantly Hawking and Spitting.” Thomas J. Rushing, Esq., 5902 Pine Street, St. Louin, Mo., writes: “I was a great sufferer from catarrh for three years. At times I could hardly breathe, and was constantly hawking an>l spitting, and fcr tl>e last eight months could not breathe through the nostrils. I thought nothing could be done for me. Luckily, 1 was advised to try Dr. Sage's Catarrh Itemed v. and I am now a well man.
