To Catarrh suffer ers there is nothini! cheering in these climatic changes, for with the return of cold weather. all the disagreeable symptoms of Catarrh appear: blinding headaches, dizziness, a stuffy feeling about the nose that makes bneathing di.iiicult, chest pains, and as the disease progresses, a discharge of nauseat ing matter i rout the throat and nose keeps one continually hawkiug and spitting. Catarrh is a most disgusting disease. The foul mucous secretions that are con stantly dropping buck into the storuncb contaminate and poison the blood audi distributed throughout the body, and it then becomes a detp-seted, systemic, persistent disease that must be treated through- the, blood, for -it is beyond the reach oi, spray, washes, powders or ex ternal treatment of any kind. , S.
