The following we extract from a lit tle book on Chronic Diseases, by R. V. Pierce, M. D., of Buffalo, N. Y. Our venders can receive this Interest ing and useful little book, post-paid, by enclosing one postage stamp to the do.-tor. Symptoms. In the early stages of the disease the patient may be annoy ed with "only a slight dropping in the throat. as many express it. the amount of discharge from the air pass-1 ages ot the head at tins stage ot the disease being only slightly in excess of health. In some cases the discharge is thick, ropy and tough, requiring fre quent and strong effort in the way of hawking, blowing and spitting to re move it from the throat, where it fre quently lodges. In other cases, or in other stages of the same case, the dis charge is tluu, watery, acrid, irritating and profuse. Tho nose may be slop ped up from the swollen and thicken ed couditioti of the lining mucous mem brane, so as In necessitate rvspiration through the nrouth, giving to the voice a disagreeable nasal twang. The dis ease sometimes assumes a dry form, there being very little or no discharge. Iu some cases the patient sutteis from headache a great portion of the time, or may experience a dull, heavy, disa greeable fullness or pressurj 111 the head, with contusion of his ideas, which renders him quite unfit for business, especial ly such as requires deep thought aud mental labor, Memory may be more or less affected, aud the disposi tionuf those who are otherwise amiable is often rent ered irritable, or morose and depoudent. The jiental faculties suffer to such exteut in some cases as to result iu insanity. The sense of smell is iu many cases impaired, and some times entirely lost, aud the senses of taste and hearing may be more or less affected. The secretion which is thrown out in the more advanced stages of Chron ic Catarrh becomes so acrid, unhealthy aud poisouous, tbut it produces severe irritation aud lutluminalioii, which are followed by excoriation and ulcer ation of the delicate lining membrane of the air passages iu tho head. As the ulceration eats its way up among the small bones the discharge general- ly becomes profuse and otteu excess ively fetid, requires the frequent use of the handkerchief, aud renders the poor sufferer disagreeable both to him self aud those with whom he associates. Thick, tough, brownish incrustations or hardened, lumps, are many times tunned in the ueau uy me evaporation ot the watery portion ot the discharge These lunrps are sometimes so large and tough that it is with great difhciil ty that they can be removed. They are usually discharged every day or two, but ouly to be succedeJ by anoth er crop.

IJTeS are eaten through the roof of life, mouth, and great cavities excavated into the solid bones ot the luce, and in such cases ouly the best uud most thorough treatment, both meal and constitutional will check the progress and latul ter mination of the disease. . Ouly a few uf the large number of symptoms which I have desciibed as common to the ilillereut stages ot Ca tarrh will be likely to be manifested at one time iu a single cose. Although they are all common to the disease, in some of its stage', yel thousands of cases annually terminate in consump tion or insanity, and end in the grave, without ever hnving manifested one hulf of the syniptioms above enumer ated. As tho disease progresses, or fro queutly in its earlier stages, . the throat is apt tj become a Heeled. It becomes dry, soreoriuw, or studded with very small ulcers, whi'-Ji, as seen through the mouth, look like small pimples or "canker sores," for which they are ofteu mistaken. The voice may be more or If ss affected, especial ly ou exposure to cold or overexer tion, and a hacking cough is not mi I'rcqueut. Cieepiiig along the contin uous lining mucous membrane of the air passages, the disease gradually ex feu Is to the larynx, and by the same process of extension the bronchial lubfS, and lastly the substance of the lungs, iu their turn, are diseased, and Bronchitis and Consumption firmly established. -Tightness in the chest, with difficulty of breathing, soreness, darling, sharp or dull heavy pain, or a prickly distressing sensation, accom panied with more or less cough and expecto atinn, are evidence that the bronchial tubes have become aftected, aud .hoiil j admonish the sufferer that he is now standing tifou the- stepping s one to Consumption, over whiib thousands annually Iread iu theirslow, yet sure, jouruey to the grave. ' TREATMENT OF CATAKltll. If you would remove an evil, strike ut its root. This is the "commou setise," or rational way to treat Ca tarrh. As the predisposing or real cause of Catarrh is, ill the mujority of cases, some weakness, impurity or otherwise fault ly condition of the sys tem, which invites the disease, anil needs only the irritation produced in the nasal passages by an attack of cold to kindle the flame and establish the loathsome malady, in attempting to cure it our chief aim must be direct ed to the removal of that cause. The more 1 see of this wdiotis disease, the more do I recognise the importance and necessity of combining, with the use of a local soothing and healing application, a thorough internal use of blond-cleansing and strengthening medicine, 1f we would successfully treat the disease. As a local application for1 healing the diseased condition in thehead, EH. SAGE'S CATARRH REMEDT Is beyond all comparison the best preparation ever discovered. It it mild and pleasant to use, producing no smarting or pain, and contains no strong irritating or caustic drug or other poison. Its ingredients are sim ple and harmless, yet when scientiliu- ally and skillfully combined iu just the right proportions they lortu a tn.t wonderful valuable healing medicine. Like gunpowder, which is formed by the combination of saltpetre, sulphur aud charcoal, the ingredients are sim ple, but the product of their combina tion is wonderful Jn its effects. It is a powerful antisepnc, aud speedily de stroys all bad smell which accompanies so many cases, thus affording gnat; comfort to those who suffer in this j way. It speedily subdues acute attacks of "cold in the head, 'alius preventing their resulting in Chronic Catarrh. Its cleansing, autisepic, southing aud heal-; im. nrimarliua , t, pa trnltf ufnlwlal-f li I ...p, r"'v-. -j The Catarrh Remedy fluid should be applied by the use of DR. FIEIICE's NA8AL, DOUCHE, ' ; which carries it high up and applies it to all parts of the affected nasal pass- : ages, and the chambers and cuvitetjj communicating therewith. Three or four packages Ctb,e Remedy usid with this instruiueut which is sold by druggists at sixty cents will do more good thai)' a dozen used in any other manner. While the Catarrh Remedy ; is being used locally, we must not neg-1 lect to correct the constitutional tault upon which the disease generally de pends, or the Catarrh, if relieved at ull, is very apt to show itself again up on slight exposure. If it does not, the weakness or humor may manifest its n.esence by developing disease of the 1 luugj, liver, nones or other organs or structures. For this reason, iu partic ular, the reader must see thj great im portance of purifying and regulating the svsleni aud building up the strength to a healthy standard at the same tune that the disease iu the head is being "healed ' by the use of Dr. Sage's Caturih Remedy. Not ouly will the cure be thus more surely, and permanently effected, but you thereby guard against other forms of disease Lreukiug out as the result of humors iu the blood or constitutional derangements or weaknesses. For this purpose I have discovered a medicine that will, better thau any other, accomplish the object sought. To designate this wonderful medicine, 1 have named it DR. PIEKCe'8 ALT. EXT., OR GOLDEN MEDICAL DISCOVERY. No other alterative or blood clean ser, and no other pectoral, or throat, bronchial or lung medicine should ever be used with Dr. Sage's Catarrh Reme dy, as none other is so well calculated to work in harmony with, aud assist it iu its operations. Many blood and cough medicines have a tendency to in tet It-re with the effects of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. They should not therefore be used. My Golden MeduxU Discovery ia the natural "help mate" of Jjr. Sage't Ca tarrh Jleinedy. It not only cleanses, purifies, regulates an J buildup the sys tem to a healthy staudurd, aud con quers throat, bronchial and Jung com plications wheu any such exist, but from its specific effects ujsin the lining membrane of the nasal passages it aids materi lly in restoring the diseased, thickened or ulcerated membrane to a healthy condition, aud thus eradicat ing the disease. Vhe:t a cure is effect ed in this manlier it is permanent. Indeed very few cases of Catarrh cuu be cured at all by the use f local applications only. A thorough course of alterative and Ionic treatment must be used with Dr. Sage's Catarrh Rem edy, if you would derive the greatest amount of beuefil. This will require the use of from six to twelve ImjuIcs of my Golden Medical Dii-covery. Dr. Sage't Catarrh Remedy effects cures upou com mou sense, rational and scientific principles, by its mild, sooth ing and healiug properties, to which the disease gradually yields, when the system has been put in perfect order by the use of my OolJou Medical Dis covery. This is the only perfectly safe, scientific aud successful mode of of acting upou and healing it. Scarcely a mail ariives that does not bring me new testimony of cures effected by the treatment which I here recommend. The best evidence of what can be doue in the treatment ot any disease is to be found iu the vast success of tho treatment to be employ ed. An old proverb says, "what has been doue may be done again." Iu view of tbtfto facts, aud kuowiug that I have cored thousands of the worst cases of Catarrh, and have never failed to effect a perfect cure wheu I have had a reasonable chance, I hereby offer in pood faith (500 Reward for a case of Catarrh which J cannot cure. I claim that I CAN CUKE ANT AD EVERY CASE OP IT IF MY DIRECTIONS AKB FAITH FULLY followed. Why then trifle with this disease, reader Why put off Ihe, use of the sure means of cure which I offer? Do you not know that "procrastination is the thief of time!" Why try to make light of it by think ing that is only Catarrh? Do you not know that consumption, and insanity are among its frequent results, and that thereby millions of graves are filled? Do I speak strongly ? Can I speak too strongly? Why disgust your friends and associates with ihe offen sive odor of your breath, or by your constant hawking.blow ing and spitting, when relief is so easily aud cheaply obtained ? Is it not a duty that you oi to 'others as well as yourself to get, rid of this disgusting complaint? Do not think that the disease will "iu time wear out. Ou tho contrary, it will, 11 u I ess cured, wear you out. Do not think that you cauuot be cured. The world moves, and medical science is progressive. Many forms of disease, which would once have been entirely insurable with the means then known, are, in the light of more recent dis. coveries in medicine, very easily cured.
