The hairs were long and were wrapped once around the shaft before the deg got ready to wag his tail the other way. The shaft revolutions in 15 seconds, and the dog, likewise before his master discov- ered his predicament and released him.

Constitutional Catarrh Remedy CURES CATARREL

Hear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Remedy.

a

T. J. B. Warprne, Esq., Brockville, Ont. :—

Deak S:iR—It is now two years since your ‘Constitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intre- duced tome. I have waited this ong to see if the cure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy effects seemed to me to be ‘‘too good to true.” 1 was afilicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular I saw my case described in many par ticulars. The inward ‘‘drop” from the head had become very disagreeable, anc. a choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, I would feel like smothering and be compelled to sit up in the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third, I quit taking it, feeling quite clear of that ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken some for a cold in my head, A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper Yours truly,

W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister.
