Constitutional Catarrh Remedy CURES CATARRH, Hear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the Yonstitutional Ren.edy. T. J. B. Hanprne, Esq., Brockville, Ont.:— Deak Str—It is now two years siuce your “Constitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intro- duced tome. Ihave 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 be true.” I was afflicted 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, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, I would feel like smothering and be compelled to sit upin the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before 1 had used a quarter o 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 curetl 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. Yeurs truly, W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister. Port Eigin, Ont., Aug. 24, 1878. Ask for Littlefield’s Constitutional Catarrh Remedy and take no other. T. J. B.
