Great difficulty is experienced, in cleav ing the head and throat. No wonder catarrh causes headache, impairs the taste, smell and hearing, pollutes the breath, deranges the stom ach and affects the appetite. To cure catarrh, treatment must be constitutional—alterative and tonic. •‘I was afflicted with catarrh. I took medicines of different kinds, giving each a fair trial; but gradually gr.>w worse until I could hardly hear, taste or smell. I then concluded to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and after taking five bottles I was cured and have not had any return of the disease •ince.” Ecoewe Forbes, Lebanon, Kan.
