TREATMENT OF COMPLICATIONS. There are various complications of this
disease that require modifications of the treatment to meet them
successfully. The rules cannot be made that would enable
non-professional readers to vary the treatment to suit peculiarities of
constitution, or complications of the disease. When consulted, either
the person or by letter, we have been able to so modify the treatment as
to be adopt it to peculiar individuals which rejected the ordinary
treatment, and have thus cured hundreds who had otherwise failed to find
relief.

TIME REQUIRED IN EFFECTING A CURE. Reader, if you suffer from chronic
nasal catarrh, do not expect to be very speedily cured, especially if
your case is one of long standing. Unprincipled quacks and charlatans,
who possess no knowledge of disease, or medicine either, and whose sole
design is to palm off upon you a bottle or two of some worse than
worthless strong, caustic solution, irritating snuff, or drying
"fumigator," "dry up," "annihilator," "carbolated catarrh cure,"
"catarrh specific," or other strong preparation, will tell you that the
worst cases can be _speedily_ cured by these unreasonable means. It is
true that such strong, irritating, and drying preparations will many
times suddenly arrest the discharge from the nose, but the thickened or
ulcerated condition of the lining mucous membrane, which really
constitutes the disease, is not removed by such treatment, and the
discharge soon comes on again. Besides, there is danger attending the
employment of such strong, irritating, or drying preparations. The
disease, by their use, is frequently driven to the throat, bronchial
tubes, lungs, or brain, and thus a bad matter is made worse. Not less
irrational and unsuccessful is the plan of treating the disease with
inhalations of "carbolized iodine," and other drags, administered
through variously-devised pocket and other inhalers. Such treatment may
mask or cover up catarrh for a time; but, by reason of the
constitutional nature of the disease, it cannot effect a perfect and
permanent cure. Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, on the other hand, cures the
disease on common-sense, rational, and scientific principles, by its
mild, soothing, and healing properties, to which the disease gradually
yields, when the system has been put in perfect order by
