A., a Clergyman of the London Conference of the Methodist Church of Canada, has to say in regard to A. H. Dixon <& Son's New Treatment for Ca- tarrh. Oakland, Ont., Canada, March 17, '83 Messrs. A. H. Dixon & Son: Dear Sirs:— Yours of the 13th instant to hand. It seems almost too good to be true that I am cured of Catarrh, but I know that I am. I have had no return of the disease, ana never felt better in my life. I have tried so many things for Catarrh, suffered so much and for so many years, that it is hard for me to realize that I am really better I consider that mine was a very bad case; it was aggravated and chronic, involving the throat as well as the nasal passages, and I thought T would require the three treatments, but I it. fully cured by the two sent me, and I am thankful that 1 was ever induced to send to you. You are at libertv to use this letter stating that I have been curec/ at two treatments, and I shall gladly recommend your remedy to some of my friends who are sufferers. Yours with many thanks. Rev. E. B. Stevenson. _ N. B.— In wr'tinf to anv of the references in- th's circular, a stamped directed envelope should be en- closed in order to ensure a reply. A NEW TREATMENT FOR THE RAPID AND PERMANENT Wliich is not a patent medicine or adver- tising doctors^ humbug, hut an honest remedy, discovered by an English physician of forty years' standing, and which absolutely cures this hitherto incurable disease in from one to three applications, no matter whether stand- ing one year or forty years. -^sG^SjCCi What is l^alarrh ? Catarrh is a muco-purulent discharge caused by the presence and development of the vegeta- ble parasite amoeba in the internal lining of the nose. This parasite is only develoi)ed under favorable circumstances, and these are : — Mor- bid state of the blood, as the blighted corpuscle of tubercle, the germ poison of syphilis, mer- cury, toxoemea, from retention of the effeted matter of the skin, suppressed perspiration, badly ventilated sleeping apartments, and other poisons that are germinated in the blood. These poisons keep the internal lining mem- brane of the nose in a constant state of irrita- tion, ever ready for the deposit of the seeds of these germSj M^hich spread up the nostrils and dov^^n the fauces or back part of the mouth, iX\i.ai.ll.\^ UlVCi C!J,XV711 VA t;li.C till -.rcii; , Ulj^ V13.X3 eustachian tubes, causing deafness ; bur- row^ing in the vocal cords, causing hoarseneHs ; usurping the i)roper structure of the bronchial tubes, ending in pulmonary confiiiinption and death. A great variety of symptoms are present in this affection, which are modified by the speci- fic poison which gives rise to it, to wit : tubercle, syphilis, mercury, suppressed functionp of the •km and toxoemea generally, but they consist chiefly of languor, lassitude, debility, mal-assim- ilation, derangement of secretions, great de- pression of the nervous system, with or with- out fever ; aching; bruised or beat feeling all over ; shivering ; confused feelings in the head ; cerebral disturbance. The want of proper respiratory functions of the skin and the local pressure of the parasite give rise to coryza, tonsilitis, sneezing, a sense of fulness, stuffing of the passages, soreness in swallowing, irritative cough, tightness of chest, dry or^noist rales, hemorrhages. There may be a discharge quite heavy if the parasite causes ^eat nervous irritation, which I)romotes secretion. It may be dry if the mul- tiplication and duplication of the parasite is active. The increased pungent odor of ozoena is never present until the spores or roots of the germ penetrate to the cartilages of the nose, then the parasitical formation makes rapid in- roads into the healthy structure of the nose. Catarrh is usually met in three stages: IFirst — A simple parasitical development of the internal lining membrane of the nose, with or -without a discharge. Second — Where the roots or spores or sporules of the amoeba have penetrat- ed to the bone or cartilages-ozoena. Third- Where the parasite has spread and propagated by xnillions in the nose, posterior nares, up the eustachian tubes, down the fauces, vocal cords and broncha, causing excessive parasitical ul- ceration and destruction of tissue, the parasite usurping the normal structure. The mode of propagation is by contagion, or infection, or ^ both— -hence its prevalence in families, districts, etc. The parasite develops itself rapidly, so much so that millions are elaborated in a short space of time. The effect of this formation upon the nervous system is to impair vital force, produce general nervous ir- • a i? ^ J r_x: ^£ j.u_ X nerves. Cold in itself cannot produoe or Catarrh, it simply produces an irri- tation, a field for tne propagation of the parasite. A large percentage of the population are affected with Catarrh, and its effects are not only ulceration and de- struction, with pungent foetid odor, loss of the nasal bone> ulceration of fauces and throat, destruction of larynx with loss of voice, a usur- pation of the bronchial mucus membrane, a fill- mg up of the air vesicles with the germ ^)arasite, but bronchial or pulmonary consumption and death. The vegetable parasite is the simplest living form known that lives upon organs; structureless, consisting of semi-fluid ma- terial; large or small in size, these masses can move in any direction, and propagate indefi- nitely; these paiasites may breed, feed andpro- pagate upon the structure themselves. They mcrease very simply by spores or roots, and so long as a pedicle or root remains they will ger- minate. No intelligent person doubts mat Catarrh and Ozoena is a parasite, since it is en- dorsed by the most eminent scientists in the world, such as Tyndall, Huxley and Beale. Many attempts have been made to discover a cure for this distressing disease, by the use of inhalents and other ingenious devices (old exploded theories which no intelli- gent physician prescribes at the present day), but none of these treatments can do a particle' of gooa until the amceha are either destroyed or removed from the mucus tissue. This we are enabled to do in from one to three applications where the bone is not affected, but where the bone is affected a sec- ond or third extra treatment may be required. We state, in all confidence, that we believe ourselves able to cure every case of Catarrh that is presented to us, whether standing one year or forty years. This is proved by the succesa that has attended our treatment thus far. We have certificates of cures, many of them in cases of very long standing, that had baffled all the preparations of the day, as well as the medical profession; and we have never yet failed to give every satisfaction in a single case. Every attention is given to patients, Q.Tirl TITO CirkQT«£^ "^y*^ ^lfr\%y\\l r^ 1-n ^^tye%r\n r\^-f TT^-h«*«r 1 ^^^^0m standing. The remedy and apparatus, which is so sim- pie that ;i child can roadily undorHtand it, are lurniHhod to the pntiout, and the troatmont can be a[)pUed witliout loss of time or inter- ference with occupation. To those who are suffering from deafness caused by Catarrh, we would say that the above treatment has been successful in restoring the hbaring in a great number of cases, where the patient was almost entirely deaf. Our experience for the pas four years demfmstrates beyond a doubt that the great majority of cases, no matter whether standing for one year or forty years, are permanently cured by one treatment— cures effected over four years ago being cureti dill. A very small percentage of cases require-a secorid treatment, and a third is not necessary in more than two cases out of a hundred. The most ofFeuaivc odor, hoarseness, loss of voice and sense of smelly headache, languor, weak eyes, deafness, etc., caused by Catarrh, are removed by one treatment. Sufferers are particularly requested not to confound our remedy with patent medicines, quack, or advertising doctors' nostrums — it is neither — but an honest cure for Catarrh, as thousands who have been cured can testify. Wc have been offered heavji inlacenients by numerous 2rttent medidne dealers to allow them to sell our remedy to ixou*8 C'alariii Uciiicily. BowMANViLLE, Canada, Jan. 2, 1883. To the Editor of the State.nman : . Dear Sir, — Perhaps some of your" ^ ' -^n *e afflicted with that dreadful disease h. If so, I ask permission to say, tl Statesman, that I have been a subjer-t for the last twenty years, From the Mail (Can.) Dec. 15. Catarrh is a muco-parulent di:,charsre caused by the presence and development of the veget- able parasite amtebi in t le internal lining membrane of the nose. Th^s partsite is only developed under favorable crcumstanceSj and these are:— M )r bid state of the blood, as the bliarht od corpuscle of ubercle, the germ poiscm of syphilis, mercury, toxomrei, from the reten- tion of the effeted m itter of the skin, suppress- ed perspiration, b idly ventilated sleeping apartments, and other poisons that are ger- ininated in the b'ood. These pois(ms keep the internal lining m mibrane of the nose in a con- stant state of irritation, ever ready for the dep)sit of the s^-eds or these germs, which spread up the no-trils and down the fauces, or back of the throat causing ulceration of the throat ; up the eustachian tubes, causing deafness ; burrowing in the vocal cords, caus- insr hoarseness ; usurping the proper structure of the bronchial tub -s. ending in punnonary consumption and death. Many attempts have been made to discover a cure for this distressing disease by the use of inhalents and oth«-r ingenious devices, but none of these treatments can do a particle of good until the parasites are ei her destroyed or re- moved from the mucus tissue. Some time si ice a well-known physician of forty years' standing, after much experiment- ing, succeeded in discovering the necessary combinati(m of ingredients which never fail :n absolutely and permanently eradicating this horrible disease, whether standing for one year or fort,- years. Those who m ly b^. suffering from th 3 above disease, should without dela£ 12 oommunicate with the business manapcera, Messrs. A. H. DIXON & SOV, 305 King- street west, Toronto, Canada, and enclose stamp for their treatise on Catarrh. CATARRH— A NEW TREATfMENT. From the MoiitreaVStar, Nov. 17, 1882. Perhaps the most extraordinary success that has been achieved in modern medicine has been attained by the Dixon treatment for Ca- tarrh. Out of 2,000 patients treated during the past six months, fully ninety per cent, have been cured of this stubborn malady. This is none the less ,startling when it is re- menibered that not five per cent, of patients pre-' senting themselves to the regular practitioner •re benefited, while the patent medicines and other advertised cures never record a cure at all. St; rting with the claim now generally believed by the most scientific men that the disease is due to the presence of living parasites in the tissue, Mr. Dixon at once adapted his cure to their extermination — this accomplished, he claims the Catarrh is practi- cally cured, and the permanency is imques* tioned, as cures effected by him iour years ago are cures still. No one else has ever attempted to cure Catarrh in this manner, and no other treatment has ever cured Catarrh. The appli- cation of the remedy is simple, and can be done at home, and tne present season of the year is the most favorable for a speedy and per- manent cure, the majority of cases being cured at one treatment. Sufferers should correspond with Messrs. A. H. DIXON & S* N, 305 King street west, Toronto, Canada, and enclose stamp for their treatise on Catarrh. Interesting Visit to Messrs. A. U. Dixon A Son*s Office. From the Toronto World, Nov. 30th, 1882. Opening of the mails is generally more or less interesting to all classes of business men and private individuals. In our profession of edit- ing a newspaper we are treated to a great variety of letters, some pompous and dry, others racy and humorous, some sentimental and lackadaisical, 13 a few fault-finding, and many, which we value very highly, of genuine praise. Our reporter was entirely unaware of the pleasant surprise which was m store for him when he accepted an invitation from Messrs. A. H. Dixon & Son to be present at the opening of their maite a few days ago at their office. No. 305 King street west, where they claim to cure the worst cases of Catarrh in from one to three applica- tions by their new method of treating this pre- valent and hitherto incurable disease. Letters of nraise and thankfulness were opened by the score from many parts of Canada and the States, and even from Great Britain, from parties who had used the new remedy— each letter being sufficient proof in it- self that the new treatment for Catarrh is all that Messrs. Dixon & Son claim. For the ben- efit of our readers who may be suffering from Catarrh, we will publish shortly some extract* from a few of the letters which our reporter perused, omitting, for obvious reasons, the names of the writers. OPE!VI]V« OF THE MAILS. At A. H. Dixon d; Son's Office, 305 Kins Street WesI, Toronto, Canada. True to the promise given our readers a few days ago, we proceed to give them some ex- tracts from the letters which we perused when present at the opening of Messrs. A. H. Dixon h Son's mails, about a week ago. These letters being confidential Mr. Dixon will not permit us to publish the names of the writers, therefore we will content ourselves by giving a few extracts from the correspondence. We might say here that all of the letters (ex- cepting those which were simply orders for the remedy) were in the same strain as those we anote, showing clearly that Messrs. Dixon & Son are doing all they claim. We heartily wish them success in the good work in which they are engaged : St. Thomas, Nov. 27, 1882. GrENTS- — When I Ol'derp-d vnnr rpTRsHrr f'*- Gatarrh two months ago, I had no faith m ite being a cure, as I had already tried special- iBtB in Toronto, as well as is other cities in 14 the States, for Canada and the States, for the nant twenty years. I am a firm brHever now in your remedy, for, wonderful to relate, the one application sent me has effected a cure — thanks, many thanks. I shall consider my- self your debtor for life. Brampton, Nov. 28, 1882. Accept my thanks for your treatment ; com- plete cure ; shall recommend your remedy to every one whom I find sufrering from Catarrh. Kalamazoo, Mich., Nov. 25, 1882. Your third treatment has cured me ; the offensive odor has entirely disappeared ; there is no more dropping into the throat ; no hawk- ing and spitting, and still further, I have re- covered my sense of smell, after having lost it for nearly fifteen years. Your remedy is worth its weight in gold. I shall order the remedy for my sister shortly. Winnipeg, Nov. 21, 1882. I promised to write to you on my arrival here if I required a third bottle of y' ur remedy. I am happy to say that the second bottle cured me, and as it is now over four months since I have been troubled with Catarrh, I feel certain that yours is a permanent cure. I was under Dr. (name of specialist), of Toronto, for over a year but he could do nothing for me ; in fact, he said I was far gone in consumption, and was incurable. I am now as he?trty and strong as I would wish, thanks to your remedy. I have a friend here w^io has had Catarrh for over twelve years, and who has doctored in Toronto and Montreal for a long time without any benefit therefrom — he is sat- isfied that Catarrh cannot be cured, and I sup- Eose he has come to this conclusion because he as been humbugged so much. I enclose my own money for tlie remedy for his case (see description) ; he will return me the money if he is cured, and I am not afraid of the risk. St. John, N. B., Nov. 25, 1882. My hearing, which I lost through Catarrh nearly fifteen years ago, is restored. The Ca ha t\ii as cia noi is £ gre G 1 but 1 15 Catarrh is mired, and I feel better now than I. that before trying your roiriedy I was given up. as incumble by more than one eminent phys^ cian m England.

My husband joins me in writing to state how grateful we are for the good you have done me, I6 and all in the short space of four weeks. Th« Catarrh is cured, the horrible smell has disap- peared, my hearing is nearly restored, and the inmples and blotches whicn covered my fact and body, as also the black circles under my 268, are entirely removed, leavings the skin as sar as a child's. My husband says I am looking like a young girl again. However that ■lay be I feel better than I nave done in twenty 1 fears, and life is i.ow a pleasure to me. I shall ong remember you. We will repeat our mterestmg visit t© the Messrs. Dixon's office, and be present again at the o{>ening of the mails, before very long, and will give our readers the benefit of what we •ee. We saw hundreds of such letters as we have quoted. Their new treatment, to say the loaflt, IS a wonderfully successful one, and when it is remembered that Catarrh is usually pro- Bonnced incurable, the results of this new treatment are something verging on the mi- racalous. It struck us while reading these liters that the Messrs. Dixon would have no difficulty in exterminating ^is disease, but the nmnber of three-cent stamps poured on the desk,^ which had come from applicants for the treatise upon Catarrh, which is sent free by fthem, would argue that this will not soon be consummated N.
