FETID NASAL CATARRH.
Its Symptoms nnd AVIiat It Loads to
The Miserable FcelingM , Ktc.
Tills form of catarrh Is essentially a disease of
thu nasal cavity proper and docs not extend to
the vault of thepharjnx. For a while u dry ca
tarrh may , and very frequently does , develop In
that region as the result of structural changes
within the tlsMies of the mucus luembrane.
The symptoms mainly consist in the accumula
tion in the nasal cavity of offensive masses am ?
crusts together with moro or less of fluid dls
charge. Thu nasal cavity thus obstructed ,
breathing Is more or lessdlttlcult.
Tlie sense of smell Is Impaired , if not entirely
lost. TNe especial liability to take colds on the
least exposure exists , and the susceptibility to
changes of temperature and the influence of a
damp atmosphere frequently causes thickening
of Uie nasal mucus membrane. As-tho becretlou
goes on fiom the surface of the mucus mem
brane , the masses are lifted from their bed , and
still losing their moisture , large crusts are gr d'
ually built up from below , which mould them
selves In Its narrower portions in such a manner
that the sufferer is unable to dislodge them , nnd
they remain lu position for days and even
weeks. Their odor Is offensive in the extreme ,
as the result of this long retention , during which
time the putrefactive changes are constantly
going on. The suirercr may uo entirely uncon
scious ot thu offensive breath , but others readily
notice It and endeaver to shun the companion
ship of such persons.
This affection is usually classed among the liv
tractable , and oftentimes incurable , diseases ,
but It Is treated successfully and is ( mite ameiv
able to treatment if the instruction and treat
ment Is carried out faithfully , and the physi
cian thorougnly understands his business. It
must be conceded that a specialist paying par
ticular attention to catarrh and lung troubles
is certainly better qualified to treat with suc
cess all such cases , because ho is thoroughly
posted oil all the modern appliances in uiedlca'
science. _ _ _ _ _

and Henry Gentlemen : If you will refer to
your case book you will find my name recorded ,
I visited your office some tlmu last August , suf
fering from a very bad canu of catairh ; my
throat was so soru and inflamed that It w as wltn
great dintculty I could swallow at all ; my head
was also aching me mull was as miserable as
any person could be. 1 had spent nearly all my
husband's earnings trying to be cured , but It
was Hist that much money thrown away , as 1
obtained no * relief and was , I believe , worsi
r i oni their treatment. I think the medicine th
doctois gave me and ihe patent preparations
took helped to irrlt.ito and maku tno disease
worse.
I was advised to vlilt your ofllce for consultB'
tlon , and see what you could do for mo. I was
then living af Sacred Heart , Minn. I did as I
was told to do , and it was made a happy visit
forme. I only took > our medicine about till ee
months , and tno result was astonishing to my
self and n surprise to my friends and acquain
tances , who thought 1 would never hot well. 1
am happy to say that my first and only visit to
your olllce was the nic.it satisfactory visit I evei
remember ot making , and the medicine you
gave me bus perfoimed Its work well nudlia
done a wonderful thing for mo.

The eabk'Kmm from P.ms nnnounclnp a
ilucl betwcun Thomas Potter nnd Senor Car-
monn nt the forest of Gcnnnine , In which af-
fnlr of honor both men wore wounded , brings
to mlml the rcmiirlcnblo history imparted to
me In Mexico of this prince of villlatis , Seuor
Cnrmonu. I remembered him as a man of
striking iippcnrnncc , though tiot very tnll ,
possessing broad shoulders , dark hair and
heavy mustache nnd u singularly unpleasant
dark eye. Always faultlessly attired and in
command of highly polished manners a fig
ure which 1 daily saw two years ngo prome
nading in the pUi/u , or nlnmedii , with rye-
glass in readiness , and whose magnificent
equipage could be seen nt nil fashionable
hours. "A man , " said my informant"who was
corrupt from the cradle up. who grew to
manhood with hk-h ambitions , allowing no
obstacle , however great , to thwart them , as
his life so fur will show. " "Money was
what
TIIIM miiixu MAN
coveted , for with that ho could buy what he
next desired'high position in the wet Id and
notoiicty , and for the attainment of his
ends he would stop ut nothing. .Strange
talcs arc told cwicprnin1 , ' his career , which is
full of dark deeds. "
. So suid my informant , who went on and
related several chapters in this genteel vil
lain's life. At the time of which 1 first
speak , Carmoim was a widower , his wife
having mysteriously died , leaving him a con
siderable fortune , but not enough to meet his
wants. So he cast his evil eye nrnutul until
it rested upon his neighbor and friend , who
possessed u Im'ge fortune ti * well as a pretty
wife and two beautiful children. Curniuu : ;
determined to gain possession of This fortune
nt any cost , and his evil mlml begun to work.
Soon the neighbor suddenly died , and In a
vjry strange manner , leaving his fortune to
his wife and children , a distinguished law-
jcr of > lcxlco being dcuigmited as
guardian to the children. Carmorm
paid strenuous court to the widow ,
finally marrying her , but as jou sec. there
still remain four to be gotten on * of the way.
For a time life sped smoothly with Senor
Caimona's family , until one day his wife
sickened and died. Ticn )
Tin : Fisonii or SUSPICION
was pointed at Cnrmona , but nothing could
be proved against him ; so hi ? went his way
rejoicing , while schemes for making himself
minister to France from Spain filled hist head
and much money was required. The guard
ian appointed over his wife's children was a
man of great intellect mid high social stand
ing , supporting his family by the brilliant ef
forts of an nble lawyer. 'Carmoim dared not
murder this gentleman himself , i' v.'oton
d.iring an act hs liu'nt bo found out , " said
! : ! iihtorlan. Hut the lawjer was , nevcrthe-
lesa , murdered. The man who did the dark
deed was u respectable working man , sup
porting n large family on small caniings.
Current rumor said he was
hired to commit the murder ,
and that Carmona w.is the villian who
paid Ijiui the incsry. The price held before
him dazzled his poor ejcs , Olio nluM , thi ;
.lawyer was returning homc'at a late hour
and death lay in wait for him not far from
his homo. As he walked on , the crouching
ilguic of u man silently followed him , when
It suddenly raised ituclf and with a swift
movement of the at m struck the guardian of
the two children in the back. The steel
struck home , and
TUB VICTIM TO AVtltlCC
fell face downward dead. It is said that
Carmona watched the progress of the affair
from the opposite side oi the street. The
murderer of this distinguished man was de
tected after some time had elapsed , and
seized anil confined in Uclem , the prison in
Mexico. . Two years ago the trial of this un
fortunate man took place. Ho was found guilty
and condemned to death. Senor Carmona was
at the tiino in Mexico , happy and lavish wit h
his ill-gotten gains , never , apparently , cast
ing a thought on the unhappy prisoner uwalt-
ing death jn yonder prison. Nearly every
tongue whispered that Carmona was the man
who ought to bo executed , but
never for K moment did he
think of placing himself in his victim's
place , and strange to relate , never a word
did his victim whisper. The day dawned
and the man was shot ; the same day dawning
on Curmon a found him content , happy , for
would herc not bo ono witness less to his
horrible crimes ) Ho could be more inde
pendent in the future. "As unreal and ter
rible as it may seem , " continued my inform
ant , "tho two children of Cannon a's second
wife died , poisoned. Their death
left Carmona n free and a rich
man , able to pursue the great
ambitions of his life. Ho desired to become
minister to Franco from Spain , but that
could not bo as he was Mexican by birth.
So ha traveled to Spain and bought the title
of marquis , and from there went to Paris to
live. His hotel is one of the most magnifi
cent , sumptuous mansions in that brilliant
city. There ho entertains great people in a
royal manner , taking unbounded pleasure in
showing them uniiue pieces of furniture
gathered from remote parts of the globe.
He makes a great deal of money In gambling ,
wasting it on fast acquaintances and horses.
Ho visit * Mexico frequently. Ono night not
eng ago while there ho engaged himself in
"play" with a friend. The game waxed in
teresting as the day began to break. Sud
denly Carmona noticed a clever trick tilaycd
by his opponent , so without a word lie rose
and
SHOT HIM TIIKOUnil THE IIKAHT.
On an another occasion when Carmona was
losing his game , he resorted to cheating and
was observed in so doing by his opponent ,
who reached over the table pinning Car-
inona's hand to the table with n knife , then
departed fiom the house leaving this singular
gentleman in rather a painful situation. Ho
will bear the scar of u cheat to the end of his
rope.
It so happened that when Carmona was
last in Mexico , that Gran's French O | > cru
company was there , including the sprightly
Madame Thco , uK > n whom Carmona lav
ished much attention , as ho had formerly
done in Paris. This gentleman ot elegant
leisure frequently called upon the noted
actress , generally bringing costly offerings
of flowers. On ono occasion ho
preceded lijs valet , who bore a pillow of Eng
lish % 'iolcts decorated at the corners with
broad ribbons of the French colors. The
same evening la Theo returned from the thc-
atro to find placed on her toilet stand an ex
quisite offering of diamonds. A little scream
of pleasure escaped her and Carmona stepped
from behind n piece of furniture , where he
had witnessed the little scene , to receive her
profuse thanks.
As this man walks through the streets people
ple shun him , for is ho not branded with
many crimes t Now the papers tell us how
ho has insulted u respectable young lady , for
which ho has been punished by Mr. Potter ,
receiving a slight wound in the ankle.
