1892 ■» M BRIEF TREATISE ABOUT - NASAL CATARRH And its Sequences( and also a Short Description of a few of the many Extraordinary Cures made during six years of Omnipathic Practice in Harrisburg, Pa. BY ITS AUTHOR DR. C- CREE NE, OMNIPATHIST. HIS CONVICTIONS AND CONCLUSIONS After Treating this Affliction (Known in Every Household, all over the World) since 1848. NEGLECTED OR MAL TREATED CATARRH HAS BEEN THE INCIPIENT CAUSE OF MORE DEATHS FROM CONSUMPTION THAN ALL OTHERS COMBINED. The term Omnipathy signifies the Acceptation of all that Is Cura- tive or of Service to Mankind in all other Pathies or kinds of Practice, and the Rejection of all that is bad or Pernicious, with the addition of New Discoveries in the Methods of restoring Diseased Bodies back to a Normal Condition. sixth icnrriox, WITH ADIIITIOXM. Dr. G. fl. GREECE, No. 178 Tremont St. Boston, Mass. NASAL CATARRH OR There are about twenty persons in the United States advertising sure cures (?) for this affliction by the use of pills, powders, douches, inhalations of tar, camphor, cubebs> iodines, and a host of other preparations, costing oftentimes from $8 to $25, yet I rarely see any one who has been made well except by the Cure Quick for Catarrh. Many persons apply to me, thinking that they are suffering from Catarrh, alone. Upon examination I find that the inflammation has descended into the throat and the tonsils are greatly swollen, very red and ulcerated, and the palate is an inch long, laying upon the tongue and producing a tickling sensation, and often a continuous cough. Such cases require the additional treatment of a gargle and liniment, with which I cure the majority of patients in a few weeks; oftentimes when they have been treated for years without any advantage. Catarrh and diseases of the throat (producing enlargment of the tonsils, elongation of the uvula or palate, ulcerations of the fauces, or rear portion of the mouth), are rarely cured by any physicians. I think all practitioners will admit this statement, and when too long uncared for the inflammation is bound to descend the windpipe, then the bronchial tubes, and finally attack the structure of the lungs, pro- ducing consumption. Then they are only reached by omnipathic remedies. The throat is more often affected than is commonly supposed. Usually ■when quite badly inflamed and ulcerated there is no pain. I am fully satisfied that three-quarters of the sputa supposed to come from the lungs comes from the tissues of the throat and from the tonsils. The phlegm is secreted normally, and when the throat is inflamed the excretions are salty and more abundant in quantity. Inflammation is the first result of interrupted circulation. Congestion is the rupturing of some of the capilliaries, and mortification is a stoppage of the circulation locally. A very common sequence to long-standing Catarrh is an affection of the eyes and ears, producing a weakness and dimness of vision, tears flowing down the cheeks, and other troubles of these organs, and ringing and other noises in the ear, with deafness. The treatment by physicians everywhere is usually solutions of salt in water, chlorate of potassa, douches of various liquids through the nose, inhalations by forty different little or large inhalers of tar, saltpetre, hyosciamus, stramonium, etc., and in almost every case, solutions of nitrate of silver, a (villainous substance, composed of nitric acid and silver, used in making indelible ink.) If this caustic touches your skin it will turn it black. The knife is very generally resorted to by physicians to cut off the diseased tonsils and palates. Uusually in a few weeks they are larger and longer than before ; if cut too short sometimes they contract and expose the palatal bones. Excising the unnatural palate or tonsil does not remove the cause. When I graduated in 1848 I paid $16 for a beautiful instrument, so constructed as to easily and speedily remove these natural members of the throat, and after mutilating and making worse a score of cases, I gave away the tonsil cutters. Croup and diphtheria often follow incured cases of Catarrh. I doubt whether a human being ever arrived at maturity without having several at- tacks of this malady. It will come in a moment with a sudden draft of air. During my six years' study with nine physicians, and while attending four courses of medical lectures (one of them in Boston), I could not learn how to cure these afflictions. After graduating, I invented four gargles, the Cure Quick for Catarrh, and a liniment, with 2 which I have since been almost uniformly successful in curing the majority of cases. When the bronchia and lungs are affected, then I advise general treatment, all externally. The symptoms of Catarrh are quite numerous. The most common are excessive dis- charges from the nose, sometimes of a liquid watery substance; then again of a purulent character. In some cases, with an admixture of blood, and occasionally large pieces of a hard cheesy substance, and after long continuance, portions of the spongy bones of the nasal cavity. In other cases, the nose is dry-no discharge or moisture of any kind. At intervals, (with some invalids), there are large accumulations of whitish yellow, acrid gelatinous mucus, often dropping (especially in the morning) into the throat, causing a constant coughing, or occasional hawking. In others the nose is stopped up, forcing the patient to breathe through the mouth. When small portions of the spongy bones begin to come away, and even after a continuation of the discharge of matter, the breath be- come very offensive and unbearable, and it is really dangerous to sleep in the same room with a person so diseased. In many persons the sense of smell is entirely lost. Such cases throw off spores or germs of the disease into the surrounding atmosphere, vitiating and poisoning the air, which, if inhaled by a well person, will start the horrid disease in them. Some persons' mouths are in such a diseased condition from ulceration of the gums, tongue and tonsils, and so afflicted with the pus forming Catarrh, that every breath is full of impurities. They are like filthy cesspools, and in a church, hall, theatre, hotel or house, are constantly poisoning the atmosphere; and if in a crowded room or church no effort is made to let the vitiated air pass out of the room, and the pure air to enter, every one of the congregation will be doing their utmost to ruin their lungs and bodies. Air, like water, is purified by motion. In order to convey in the most forcible manner to every reader the necessity of using pure air and water, let me say God has supplied both of them in unlimited quantities, and it seems as though man (in his ignorance of hygienic laws) has determined to breathe impure air. Take for instance the Hall of the Representatives in this city. In the first place, each of the members (with a few exceptions), does all in his power to vitiate the air in the spacious room. First, with his mouth full of tobacco, he ejects into spittoons and upon the floor, the saliva, intended only to be mixed with the food in mastication and to keep the mouth moist. The saliva from ulcerated mouths and gums, dries upon the floor and in the spittoons, and like dead rats it is knocked about by the feet, and in the shape of dust and vitiated smoke enters again the mouth and lungs. The ventila- tion is very imperfect, and in twenty minutes after assembling together there is not a hat full of pure air in the room. The same may be said of the churches here and else- where, when no proper effort is made to allow the impure poisonous air to pass out and God's pure air to enter. Take, for instance, the Park Street Church, where the spittoons are not seen, but where a large number of persons sit in close contact for two hours. In thirty minutes each one is rebreathing his companions carbonic acid gas, ejected from their lungs, with all the filthy accompaniments thrown out of diseased mouths, lungs and stomachs, and it is unbearable and exceedingly pernicious to health. Why not turn our attention to proper ventilation ? CURE QUICK FOR CATARRH I invented the Cure Quick for Catarrh in 1848, and have tested it in many thousands of cases, invariably with good results. Hundreds have reported themselves as cured. During all these years, I have seen many thousands of cases of this unpleasant disease, and scores of Catarrh compounds, and have analyzed most of them, and I say ad- visedly and for the benefit of suffering humanity who have tried the pernicious nasal douches, fumigations, inhalations, etc. that I have never found so good a remedy as this one. It will relieve almost every one annoyed with Catarrh, and it will cure ninety in a hundred cases. It is put up in tin cylinders, with two lids and two different compounds and compart- ments, and if the covers are carefullyreplaced.it will retain its medical virtues for many years. It will often cure a headache by smelling once of its contents. It will invariably open the nostrils if closed by a sudden cold in the head. If shut up by the formation of one or more polypi, or tumors in the nose, to remove them requires especial treatment. TAKE NOTICE. All persons who work in flour mills or machine shops, where there is dust of any kind floating in the atmosphere, will prevent great injury being done to their throats and lungs by using my Catarrh remedy, which keeps good for years. 3 PURULENT CATARRH. October 15th, 1881, Mr. W. S. Bard, of Ephrata, Pa. called into my office, being afflicted with the worst form of Purulent Catarrh. Sores a half inch in diameter were plainly seen in his nostril. Many of the spongy bones of the nose had rotted out, and the dis- eased pus absorbed into the surrounding tissues to such an extent as to have formed tumifactions under the right eye, so it was being forced out of the socket. His cheek was much inflamed and swollen. He had been doctoring for several years, and was con- stantly growing worse; had used sprays, inhalations, applications of caustics, etc. with no advantage. Just two weeks after he called in again. The ulcers were hardly per- ceptible, the eye had receded, and he said, " My friends observe quite a change, and I have gained six pounds in weight." I wish the reader to understand that in this case or any other, when the inflammation and ulceration has been of long standing, that the whole body has become more dr less con- taminated with the pus or matter thus developed in the nose ; and as dead rats in a bar- rel of water pollutes all of the liquid, so is the whole body more or less diseased, and in such cases it is the sheerest folly to use the Cure Quick for Catarrh alone, with the ex- pectation of its curing all the annoyances of the body. It would be just as irrational to ask it, as it would be to expect a watch-maker to re- pair one wheel alone in a time-keeper and make it run well when six of them were broken. Such cases require general treatment. So W S. Bard was treated. January 12th, 1882-Saw Mr. and Mrs. S. R. Bushby, Reading, Pa. About 1878 I supplied them with my Catarrh Cure. Mrs. Bushby said she would not be without it for any price. It cured her catarrh at once, and whenever she has dizzy spells, pain between the eyes, discharge from the nose, or any annoyance about her nostrils, she at once uses it, and always with good results. CATARRH AND DYSPEPSIA. Mr. Andy Cogely, the well-known tin-smith, of Lancaster, Pa. said to me in January, 1880, " I've heard a good deal of your quick and wonderful cures in Reading, Pa. and other places; and I've been suffering for 11 years with catarrh and dyspepsia; almost a constant pain over my eyes, and nothing yet in the way of doctoring has done me any good. Cure me, and I'll be a good witness for you." In fourteen days he came to my office and pronounced himself well, and since that time he has told hundreds of persons of the remarkable, quick and permanent cure. HOLE IN THE MOUTH. March 1st, 1880, Mr. William Paxson, the old and eminent engineer on the Pensyl- vania railroad, residing at Columbia, Pa. told me the following: " I had catarrh so badly, with other troubles, that I was running down fast, losing spirit and flesh, and feeling bad generally. The ulcerations had destroyed some of the bones of my nose, and eaten a hole through the roof of my mouth. Whatever I put in my mouth to drink or eat, some of it would pass into my nose. It was fearfully unpleasant. A Philadelphia sur- geon said it was impossible to close tip the aperture, except with a silver or metal plate. You have cured me sir. In five weeks I've gained ten pounds; the hole is closed up, and the catarrh and afflictions are gone." As an evidence of the good reputation of my Cure Quick for Catarrh, let me say that I have received orders for it from every State of the Union. One dollar came January 9th, 1882, from Mr. M. S. Booth, Seattle, Washington Territory; same day, came 50 cents each from Mr. A. B. King, Greenville, S. C. and from Mr. C. K. Welch, Great Bend, Kansas; and January 12th, one dollar from Dr. F. L. Neufeld, physician in charge of St. Vincents College, at Beatty, Pa. GOOD NAME. Mr. G. S. Knapp, Treasurer of the Cowles Hardware Company, of Unionville, Conn, came under my charge in 1878. He was badly affected with catarrh, dyspepsia and general debility. He soon became well, and he wrote me on the 3d of March, 1880, that he had been travelling in twenty states, and never was in such good health as now; and he had induced many persons to try my Cure Quick for Catarrh. REMARKABLE CURES. 4 Charles R. Leonard, of Lancaster, Pa. was annoyed for years with catarrh, and soon cured in 1880, with my Catarrh remedy. Mr. Stephen Peoples, clerk for two years in the Stevens House, Lancaster, Pa. was, in two weeks cured of catarrh. Mr. George Brown, the well-known painter on North Queen Street, same city had catarrh for years - spent over $30 for various preparations; was cured in a month's use of the Cure Quick for Catarrh, in 1880. The Cure Quick for Catarrh (in its transit through the mail) sometimes sticks to the hands of some postoffice official ; hence, if you do not receive your package after sending f@r one4 notify me and I will send another. HEADACHE FROM CATARRH. Mrs. Mylin, sister of Mt. Edward Tinker's wife, formerly of the Jones House, told me that at the bi-centennial she had a bad headache, which continued for many days in spite of all her attempts to get rid of it, and that one day's use of the Cure Quick for Catarrh entirely rid her of it. Mrs. M. is the wife of ex-Speaker Mylin of the Pa. Senate. NASAL TWANG FROM CATARRH. The peculiar nasal twang so often heard in the delivery of speakers and ministers in- dicates one of two diseases existing in the nose : First, a loss of more of less of the nasal bones, producing a cavity, or else, second, a turgescence of the blood vessels in the spongy tissues in and around the spongy bones; so that by their fullness they interrupt the passages of air through the nose. The tissues, membranes and spongy bones are, when diseased, more or less filled with a virulent pus or matter, varying from time to time in its yellowness and virulence. In this stage, the fetor or smell is sometimes extremely unpleasant and dangerous for others to inhale into their air passages and lungs. The impure pus, phlegm and secre- tions in general, run slowly down the throat during the night and enter the stomach, and decidedly inj ure this organ, producing dyspepsia. The nose is so singularly constructed that a sudden inhalation of extra cold air, or the bathing of the face with extra cold water will produce almost instantly a temporary en- gorgement of the blood vessels, and a decided interruption in the flow of blood through them, which will often bring about an increase in size of the nasal parts or lining mucous tissue, so that the air passages are at once stopped up, and breathing through the mouth becomes obligatory. Soon after (in many cases) there is a decided increase in the forma- tion of mucous, which comes into the mouth from exudations in the throat and nasal passages; and yet all of this increase may be quite normal in its quality, and not caused by any diseased" action, and no other symptoms will occur for years. It is peculiar to certain persons - a kind of idiosyncracy. I knew an old gentleman who died in his ninety-fifth year, who from his boyhood was thus affected, and who never suffered any inconvenience, except when thus exposed, as above. You must remember that the for- mation of mucous in the air passages is one of the most singular and beneficient that could be conceived to produce certain results, viz.: to catch and retain dust, soot, and anything floating in the atmosphere that would otherwise enter the lungs; and then act irritably and injuriously in the delicate air cells. If the throat and nose was not so constructed, persons would soon die from pneumonia and other kindred diseases, who reside where bituminous coals are used, or who are engaged in any avocation causing extraneous matter to be constantly floating in the surrounding air. Hence, most of our inspirations of air are taken through the nose, to warm the cold air before it enters the lungs and catch the dust, soot, sulphur, or particles of tqbacco. Ulceration in the throat, deafness, loss or alteration of the voice, mental depression, or tickling coughs, are often the result of neglected catarrh. In the Omnipathic work on therapeutics, Catarrh refers only to affections of the nose. Hooper and other authors speak of many varieties of this annoyance. To make extreme confusion, some wiseacres call any affection of the mucous tissue in any portion of the system catarrh of the part affected. CATARRH AND BAD THROAT Mr. H. C. Gibble, a prominent auctioneer of Manheim, Pa. said in March 7, 1882: " Less than two weeks ago I called in to see you. I had Catarrh so bad that large pieces of diseased stuff came out of my nose, and my throat was so sore and inflamed, that I thought seriously I should have to give up my business, it hurt me so to cry my sales. My catarrh seems in this short time to be cured, and my throat is so well I can cry a sale with no trouble. Let me have a half dozen of your Catarrh cures." 5 CATARRH AND DYSPEPSIA. February 15th, 1883, J. II. Reeder, of Ridgeway, Pa. wrote me that - "I am improv- ing right along ; my appetite has returned; I am gaining flesh and strength. The Catarrh, which was my greatest trouble, is getting cured fast." February 24th, 1883, S. W. Watt, of Freeburg, Pa. wrote me the following: "I have spent over four hundred dollars in vainless attempts to get cured of Catarrh and affec- tions of my throat." I have inserted the above letter only to show that the afflictions referred to are not cured by Allopathic or Homcepathic M. D.'s and that any one who spends his money in these fruitless efforts only throws away his hard earned gains. February 20th, 1883, I received a letter from Miss Sarah A. Thomas, of Osceola Mills, Pa. saying: " Your Cure Quick for Catarrh came February 16th. It has helped my head very much in four days. It gave relief as soon as I used it. Enclosed find $1.50 for three more for my friends. I should like to become your agent. I think hundreds of them could be sold here. What a wonderful remedy your Cure Quick for Catarrh is. It has taken all the pain out of my head, and yet I have tried various medicines before without any benefit." James C. Jackson, of Wilmington, Del. February 21st, 1883, says: "Your Cure Quick for Catarrh, has cured my catarrh, which gave me much annoyance and I am happy to write myself as well." "June 28th, 1882. Send me two more of your Cure Quicks for Catarrh. It has produced a wonderful improvement in many persons to whom I have sold them, besides my own." EDGAR SIVITER, West Stratford, Conn. QUICK RELIEF. HAY FEVER. This affliction is often a concomitant of catarrh. The diseased super-sensitive con- dition of the lining membrane of the nose (Schneiderian) is easily annoyed by changes and impurities in the atmosphere; delicate particles of dust, pollen, the odor of the rose, etc. irritate it and produce asthma, sneezing, and difficult breathing. The Cure Quick for Catarrh will heal this abnormal state, and hence cure the Hay Fever. Breathing through the mouth alone when near hay, roses, or pollen, will convince you of the truth of my statement, as the Hay Fever will not appear. DEAFNESS, CATARRH, etc. Miss Sarah A. Thomas, of Osceola Mills, Clearfield County, Pa. wrote again March 1st, 1882 : " I am happy to inform you that my deafness has improved so much that I can nearly hear ordinary conversation. The pain in my head and body is all gone. I can be on my feet all day without suffering any pain, while before using your remedials I could not stand on my feet five minutes without suffering sometimes the most excru- ciating pains. Send me one dozen of your Cure Quick for catarrh for my neighbors." POLYPUS IN THE NOSE AND DEAFNESS FROM CATARRH. On the 17th of October, 1882, Rev. Wm. Sanborn, of Harrisburg, Pa. (well known all through this State as a missionary for the Church of God, and sixty-four years of age came into my office and made the following statement: " A few months since I placed myself under your charge. I had been for years afflicted with Catarrh, which finally developed three polypii or tumors in my nose, and so obstructed the respiration that for seven years I could not breathe through my nose. When in bed I was compelled to keep my mouth wide open. The Catarrh had also induced inflammation of my throat, which at times almost stopped my preaching. It had also affected my hearing. I was sorely annoyed with these afflictions, and tried many physicians, and all the advertised cures for catarrh with little or no advantage. I had the polypii removed with ligatures twice and cut out twice, but they universally returned. Now, I am happy to say, my polypii, catarrh, deafness and other diseases are all gone. Rev. Forney, of the Church Advocate, told me that Rev. Sanborn is in every way a truth telling man, and is extensively known and respected. No knife, ligatures, caustics or solutions in the nose were used in this remarkable case. 6 MORE CERTIFICATES. March 4th, 1883, Mr. B. F. Serdan, of Lumber City, Pa. wrote : " Your Cure Quick for Catarrh has done wonders for my head-all well except a little trouble in my throat, caused by the sudden changes of the weather in this mountainous region." March 4th, W. H. Sheets, of Mulberry Grove, Kansas, says : "The remedy is helping me. March 5th, Miss Thomas, of Osceola Mills, wrote me "The whole town is quite ex- cited over my improvement. I was known far and near as 'Little Lame and deaf Sarah Thomas.'" Mrs. S. K. Bancroft, of Buffalo Shoals, West Virginia, wrote me, May 15th, 1882: "Your Catarrh remedy works splendidly on my son's wife. I send you $1.50 for three more of them for my neighbors." Samuel Books, of Ephrata, Pa. says "I am well after using the remedy." Mr. J. M. Garber, of Columbia, Pa. May, 1882, says : "Your remedy completely cured my sister in two weeks, which had been of two years' standing." September 26th, 1881, a lady said : You cured Sue Edgar, and she was so badly afflicted as to be hardly able herself to endure the smell of corruption." Miss C. Manning, of Highville, Pa. says: " You cured my cold in the head (of long standing) in two weeks." Dr. R. T. Lines, of 344 Washington avenue, Brooklyn, N.Y. wrote: "Send me your Catarrh remedy; it has been so highly recommended, I want to test its merits." January 28th, 1882, Hiram Snoddy, of Dresden Centre, N. Y. sent me one dollar for two Cure Quicks for Catarrh for his friends,and says: "I have been suffering for twenty years from this affliction, and spent a deal of money and time trying to get rid of it. The package of Cure Quick for Catarrh which I purchased of you over a year ago has done a great deal of good. I shall never be without it; with it my catarrh is controll- able." Mrs. J. L. Black, of Sunbury, Pa. in 1879, says : "Through the advice of my aunt, Mrs. Black, (wife of Hon. James Black, of Lancaster) I bought one of your Catarrh Cures, and it has proven very beneficial for catarrh and annoyances of the head." E. II. Rankin, Esq. of Stanley's Creek, N. C. says: "Your Cure Quick for Catarrh was highly recommended to me by Prof. E. P. Matz, of the High School, of King's Mountain, N. C. (formerly of Reading, Pa.)" March 13th, 1883, Jacob E. Kover, of Mount Joy, Pa. says : "Send me one of your Cure Quicks for Catarrh. It has cured one of my neighbors, who was badly afflicted for a long time. I want it for my wife." L. S. Dunn, druggist, at Monongahela City, Pa. sent 50 cents, June 22d, 1881, and says : " I have been troubled with catarrh for seven years." Moral-Catarrh is a difficult disease to cure when druggists have it so long. March 8th, 1883, Mr. C. W. Irving of Harrisburg, bought a Cure Quick for Catarrh. A headache had been annoying him for some time. He says it removed the headache in less than fifteen minutes after using it. Directions.- When using the remedy for the above disease, smell every half hour alternately of No. 1 and No. 2, for say three times. When the pain ceases stop using the Catarrh Cure. Every one should keep the Cure Quick for Catarrh in their families. " A stitch in time saves nine." One day's use of it the first day affected, may at once arrest any pro- gress of the disease. Its price is so small and its virtues retained so long (ten years) no one can afford to be without it, Jan. 26th, 1885, I received the following letter from Miss Sallie S. Yetter, of Bach- mansville, Pa. the daughter of the poor suffering mortal who had 3,200 fits in 16 years. You will find her cure in another pamphlet: " Your remedy has cured my catarrh, which annoyed me. For a long time I could hardly breathe through my nose. I was obliged to keep my mouth open at night. My general health is also better from its use. I am very thankful to you for it. Your Cure Quick for catarrh has also cured my mother's headache, and her throat is better. She is now better than she has been for many years." January 29th, 1885 : Mr. William J. Russell, of Fayette, Ohio, wrote me and ordered another invoice of the Cure Quick for Catarrh. He says, " Everyone gave full satisfac- tion, as I only sold them to my friends I know the result of each box." Dr. LaRoy Sunderland, of Quincy, Mass, sent me February 4th, 1885, one dollar for two of my Cure Quicks for Catarrh. SUGGESTION. 7 NOTICE. When you write letters asking for information about yourself or some friends insert some stamps to pay for time, and paper used in giving you the desired knowledge. CURE QUICK FOR CATARRH The above words were originated by the writer in 1848, and I have used them ever since. Every few years some quack or other person attempts to steal a portion of them from me. Several of them have used the words Sure Cure for Catarrh, and if they per- sist in using them, I shall be obliged to prosecute them for using my trade-mark. The courts have time and again rendered decisions adverse to such impositions. July 10th, 1884. Mr. J. E. Lyons, of Windsor, Pa. says, "Your Catarrh Remedy does all that you recommend it to do." LONG WAYS OFF. February 4th, 1885. Henry Niemann, of Bellevue, Jackson county, Iowa, sent me fifty cents for my Cure Quick for Catarrh. DON? BE DECEIVED. Some quacks advertise that from five to ten bottles of their blood purifiers' costing as many dollars, will (after it is swallowed), cure catarrh of the nose. You might just as well expect to purify a cesspool by cleansing your neighbor's chimney. Rev. Thomas James, of Fall River, Wis. wrote me, Dec. 6th, 1884, the following : "Enclosed find fifty cents for your Catarrh remedy. About a year ago I sent for one for myself, and used it with great success, and have since spoken in its favor to anyone suffering with catarrh. One of my friends who sent for it was much annoyed. He could not sleep at night. It gave him relief the first day he used it. All persons who have tried it are more than satisfied. It is so cheap, easy to use, and lasts so long. I never neglect the opportunity of telling any sufferer from catarrh where they can find a positive cure." Mrs. A. M. Horton, of Lewisburg, Union county, Pa. wrote me December 15th, 1884 : " Enclosed find one dollar for two of your Cure Quicks for Catarrh. I consider it an in- valuable medicine. Send for terms for an agency." A CLERGYMAN'S RECOMMENDATION. AGREEABLE. What position in life could a man occupy more agreeable than mine. Sitting at my office desk hundreds of miles away from my patients, to be the recipient of the above declarations in favor of my remedies, especially when the patient has been previously bitterly disappointed by numerous trials of (so-called) sure cures? HOW LONG? HOW LONG? The question is often asked me, How long shall I use the Catarrh remedy ? The answer is until well. When you had the unpleasant symptoms removed stop its use, and if they return why use it again. After commencing its use get some one to look down your throat beyond the palate, and if it is red, ulcerated and inflamed, then you certainly want further treatment for it. So report your condition and I will gladly give you my ad- vice. On the 6th of February, 1885, Miss Nellie H. Horton, of Lewisburg, Pa. wrote me : "I have used your Catarrh remedy with decided advantage, and have praised it so much that many of my friends have sent for it, and they are equally pleased with its merits. I should like to act as your agent in this vicinity." Notice.- Because physicians have not succeeded in curing this infirmity, occasionally some man with no pretension to any knowledge of medicine, will make up some formula from some old receipt book or otherwise, and advertise it as a positive cure for long standing cases, and the sale of the trial bottles makes the vendor rich, when not one per- son may have been benefited. Beside the vendor cannot tell catarrh from many other diseases, but he tells you in the papers that his preparations swallowed into the stomach will in some manner reach the nose and make everything all right there. You might as well expect to remove accumulated soot out of filthy chimneys by descending a well on the adjoining premises. To test their worthless preparations costs from five to ten dollars. To test mine costs cents. 8 CATARRH. March 31st, 1885. Mr. Thomas L. Mort, of Trevorton, Pa. sent for one dozen of my Cure Quicks for catarrh. He says, " I have sold the half dozen sent me, and the pur- chasers tell me it is wonderful, what a difference they find in their heads after using your remedy. My-father-in-law has been troubled for 25 years with head annoyances, and has tried all kinds of nostrums with no advantage, but he says the Cure Quick for Catarrh has benefited him much." February 20th, 1885, Mr. J. S. McKee, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, wrote me: "I received quick and permanent relief from your Catarrh remedy purchased about one year ago. It is the cheapest and best remedy I have ever known of. It cured my head and stopped my cough. Enclosed find one dollar for two more for neighbors." May 30th, I received fifty cents for my Cure Quick, from S. M. Harbaugh, of Atlanta, Ill. and another on the 4th of June from F. B. Deibler, of Manhattan, Kansas, who said it was so highly recommended by his friends he wanted one. MORE EVIDENCE. MisS Lizzie Snodgrass, of Berrysburg, Pa, wrote me, March 8, 1885, for one of my Cure Quicks, and says, " My neighbor used one to great advantage, and now my grand- mother wants one," So they go over our country, and never disappoint anyone. Wm. J. Russell, of Fayette, O. sent me $5 for my Cure Quicks for Catarrh, and said: " All persons to whom I have sold it praise it very much." Mrs. Levi H. Holwing, of Wiconisco, Pa. placed herself under my charge October 17, 1883, and said she did so because Rev. N. A. Barr, of her town, spoke so highly of my methods of treatment. I. H. Eisenhower, a teacher of Fisherville, Pa. wrote me August 16, 1883. "Have had catarrh some time. My physicians gave me preparations to use, but I might as well have used nothing at all. Send me your ( ure Quick for Catarrh." D. Brookbank, of Lloydsville, Pa. sent for my cure quick for catarrh, July 23, 1883, saying, " My four year old girl has had catarrh for a long time, she can scarce breathe. She has also diabetis and sores, and as you have cured Mr. H. Linkletter, of this town, I want you to cure my daughter." August 15, I883, he sent me 50 cents for my Cure Quick for catarrh for F.

Whenever she gets a cold in the head it relieves her at once." I received another letter from Mr. J. P. Kramer, of Muncy, Pa. enclosing money for one dozen of my catarrh remedy. He says they are all sold before they reach me, from the good reports of persons who have used them in this town. I had the catarrh as bad as anyone could have it, and I tried lots of nostrums, and nothing did me any good until you sent me yours, and I am now in better health than I have been for many years.

September 22d, Mrs. Maggie Nunnamacker, of Hagerstown, Md. wrote me: "I send you many thanks for the good your Cure Quick for Catarrh has done my son. The pains in his head are all gone, and the discharges from his nose have ceased. I had for a long time been trying everything I could hear of for him, and nothing did him any good. The boy is, also, very thankful and wants his teacher to write to you for him, fearing that he cannot properly express himself." INCIPIENT CONSUMPTION WITH LOSS OF SENSE OF SMELLING. Miss F. D. Daniel, of Gratz, Pa. came under my charge August 10, 1885, with incipient Consumption and catarrh from childhood. She never remembered to have the sense of smell; and twenty-three years old; her breath was very offensive; coughed for a long time ; is a sister of Edward, who had the gravel. December 30th, 1885, she called upon me and said, " I am cured of the catarrh and other diseases, and my smell is perfect." This well-known affliction, often called " cold in the head," is very common all over our land. Rev. Thompson, of Ola Boise County, Idaho Territory, wrote me July 7th, 1885: "Catarrh is a very common disease here." D H. Hoover, of Wayesboro, Pa. wrote me July nth, 1885Your Cure Quick for Catarrh has done wonders for me. I have no dropping into my throat at all. I want to act as your agent."

NOTICE. It is a pleasing occupation to cure the various diseases of the masses, and to receive from persons (having gratitude) their various statments. John A. Bartholomew, of Shamokin, Pa. wrote me April gth, 1886, the following words : " I find your Cure Quick for Catarrh an invaluable remedy. Since I began its use I find no trouble with my nose. Occasionally, when I get a little cold, I resort to it and am at once relieved. I heartily thank you for the remedy." Let me transcribe a lettter from Mr. A. Q. Brown, connected with the Chicago post office, probably 1,500 miles from my office: December 5, 1884. Enclosed find $1 for two of your invaluable Cure Quicks for Catarrh. It has done a remarkable thing in the cure of a stubborn case in this city, and several milder cases. Give me your terms to BENEFITING MANKIND. 10 agents. There are hundreds of cases in this city that have doctored to cure this disease, but without any advantage." Certainly no man could desire to read more interesting statements. It gives me real pleasure to thus cure people hundreds of miles away from my office without seeing them. Mrs. Jos. R. Congdon, of Bodensville, Pa. wrote me December 12, 1884 ; " Your Cure Quick for Catarrh has helped me wonderfully. I have been suffering with it for six years." January gth, 1884, I received a letter from Mrs. Mary Williams, of Shamokin, Pa. saying: " I have tried physicians and patent medicine for years to get cured of catarrh, with no good results whatever." I receive thousands of letters every year making similar statements. I never in my life have known of a bad case of catarrh cured except with my remedies. Drugs taken into the stomach have no more effect upon nasal catarrh than a straw would affect the current of a swift river. MORE EVIDENCE. Wm. Stiles of Glenwood Spring, Garfield Co. Col. wrote me for my Catarrh remedy Oct. 16th, 1891, and said, "Your Cure Quick for Catarrh has been highly recommended to me by I. L. Deffenbough."

Co. Pa. wrote me Nov. 26th, 1891, the following: " I like your Cure Quick for Catarrh better than any other remedy that I have ever tried. " Chas. G. Porter, of Edgerton, O. wrote the following Dee. 7th, 1891, Mr. J. D. Dieffen- bough of Freeport, Ills, has recommended your Catarrh remedy to me, as a positive cure for that disorder." Note. - This reads good. A man in Illinois speaks highly of my Cure Quick for Catarrh to another man in Ohio. Mr. H. Smith, of St. Paul, Minn, wrote me March 22d, 1889, the following, "I have been referred to you as having a sure cure for nasal Catarrh." Mr. A.

CATARACT OF BOTH EYES. Miss L. G. Fisher of 22 Myrtle Street, of this city, placed herself under my charge on the 5th of March, 1890 with cataract of both eyes, with dyspepsia and constipation from birth, (62 years old.) On the 27th of October, 1891, she called in and said her general health, was better than for years, and the cataractshad disappeared from both eyes. Since 1845, I have used on my own teeth and in all of my practice, among thousands of patients, a tooth powder, which contains no acid, or any substance which could in any way impair the enamel, or structure of the teeth, but on the contrary wil' take off all the tartar, dirt or any accumulations, and keep the gums in a healthy condition, provided you observe nature's laws. I sold this powder while keeping a drug store in Providence, R. I. and I never heard anything but praise of its virtues. It is agreeable to the taste, and leaves a pleasant sen- sation in the mouth. Nearly all powders, or preparations for the teeth are made by dentists, or druggists. No one but a physician ought to compound any remedial for the people, and he should have a correct knowledge of the structure of the body conjoined with thorough information concerning chemistry and all the various branches studied by a well informed physician before he should prepare any article for the general public to use. Dentists and druggists when ill place themselves at once in the hands of a skillful physician. On receipt of fifty cents in stamps, a box of the tooth powder will be sent {by mail prepaid) to any portion of the United States or Canada. Persons brought up from infancy by parents who have adopted the Omnipathic treat- ment retain their teeth sound to the end of their lives, with a healthy body and all of, the faculties to extreme old age. If you remove a cog from the wheel of a watch the result will be imperfect time. Every portion of the body wants to be in order. Defective INVALUABLE TOOTH POWDER. 11 teeth act predjudicial to health. The teeth should be always cleaned after eating. If the interstices between them are filled with food or any foreign substance, it changes its condition and brings about incipient decay ; the smallest hole becomes larger; you then consult a dentist; no filling is equal to the substance of the original teeth. Remember that I have made no arrangements with any of my patients to answer any letters written to them. Because I have cured a person of long standing disease, does not obligate him to write innumerable letters. Yet it is supposed that the cured would have gratitude enough to say, "The statement printed by Dr. Greene about my case is true." Unfortunately they will not do it, and some of them will not pen you ten lines to save your life. If you do want to write to any person, so inform me, and I will give you a list to write to, but you must always enclose a self addressed, (stamped) envelope, containing a sheet of paper, so the one written to will have as little trouble as possible when corres- ponding with an entire stranger. WRITING TO PATIENTS. I hereby warn all persons, not (under any circumstances) to use the words "Cure Quick for Catarrh," as they have been my Trade Marks for nearly half a century. Nor shall they use the words, "Cure Quick," or " Quick Cure," or " Sure Cure," as applied to any medical compound. They are legally my property by right of continuous usage, my trade marks, my invention. I never heard of them until by my origination. See page 7. INFRINGERS. QUERY.
