(!!;auadiau Jtatt.anuiu. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1886. The Old Man Settled the Quaation. 'BY H ENRY HARRil!CAN, CATARRH · CA'l'AR.RH.-A new treatment has been diecovered whereby a permanent cure of this hitherto incurable disease, is absolutely affect· ed in from one to three applica tions. no matter whether standing one year or forty years. This r emedy is only applied once in twelve days, and does not interfere with business, Descrip· tive pamphlet sent free on receipt of ~t!LtnP by A.H. Dixon & Son, 305 King street, West, Toronto, Canada. WHAT lS CA'.l'ARRH1 Ce.te.rrh is a dange1·oua dis<1as0 which thous· ands are consciously er unconsciously sufferin~ from. It is a. muco·purulent discharge caused by the presence of a vegetable par&aite in the lining membrane of the nose. The predlBPO~· ing causes are a morbid state of the blood, the blighted corpuscle of tubercle. the germ poison of sy:rbilis, mercury, toxomoo, from the retention of the effete matter of the skin, suppressed perspirations, badly ventilated sleeping apart· ments and the germination of other poisons io the blood. Irrit.e.ted by these, the lining mem· br&ne of tbe nose is ever ree.dy tor the reception of the parasite, which rapidly spreads.up the nostrils and down the fo.uces, or back of the t hroat, ca.using ulceration or the throat; up the euste.chian tubes, causing dee.fnese; bu,:. rowing iu the vocal cords, causing ·hoarseness; usurpiog the proper structure of the 1bronchial tubes ending in pulmonary consumption and death. Many ingenious apeitlcs for ror tho cure of catarrh havo been invented, bt1t without ouccess, until a physician or long standing diecov· ered the exact natnre of th disease and the only appliauoe which will permanently destroy the parasite, no matter how aggravated the case. Sufferers sbould send eta.mp e.t once for descriplive pamphlet on cate.rrh. to the business manauers. A, H , Dixon & Son, 305 King street, west, Toronto, Cam·d·. What t he Rev. E. B .

Dixon & Son's New Treatm ent for Catarrh, Oaklans, Ont., Canada, March 17, 1883 Messrs. A, H. Dixon &: Son: DEAR Srns,-Yours of the 13th inst. to hand. 'lt seemed almost too good to be true that I am ·cured of Catarrh, but I know that' I a.m. I \have had no return of the disease, and never felt better in my life, I have tried so many things for Catarrh, suffered so much and for so many years, th&t it is hard to realize that I am really better. I consider t:nn.t mine was a very bad case; it was aggravated and ohronic,'lnvclving the throat as well 'as the nasal passages. and I thought it would require tl10 three ;t~ea.tmenta, but J feel fullf cured by the two sent ·me. and I am thankfu that I was ever induced to send kl you. You are at liberty to use this letter stating that I have been cured at two treatments. and I shall gladly recommend your i·emedy to some ot my friends who are sufferers. Yours, with many thanks.

O.ae spring morningJ a.1 I was gathering aome violets f.er the ~reakfa.st·t11oble, to my agreeable surpdee I observed a gardener clearing away the Ieng * nawept le~vei, e.nd prepo.rIng to mow the len.g nEglected rasa.

A pleasing c~a.nge was soon visible In the outward appea.11anoe of the plnc 1, The win· dows were cleaned and m11ide bright and shining, Behind them were hung new green venetians, ~nd the door w&s freshly painted, The dust within the building, the a.c~umulatlen of many months, muet have boen great.
