Mesrs EDiroRs: This Is the season for ca.
tarrh The changeablo nature Of the weather
source. Of irritation, while few persons have
made sub additions to their clothing ~ the
Gascn d, mands. The Intense cold Of North.
era winter Ia more bearable than the damp and
bre, ny spring, ever alternating In temperature
b, tween the warmth Of GUNNER and the raw,
penetrating air Of March and April. Colds
contracted In the fall become seated catarrh In
the spring. A year later they have ASSUME d
the form Of chronic bronchitis, and from this
the step IL short and the progress sure TO con.
sumption. Why will not people see this? Those
who have now 10 struggle with the thorny
grasp of confirmed consumption know. alas
too WE'LL the fatal mistake they made IN
d sregarding the slight catarrh In which
their al esse comm need. Were all cases Of
catarrh properly treated and cured as they
might be, there would be very few deaths from
consumption. II Is from the fresh cases Of
catarrh that this disease Is yearly recruited, and
II 10 only by preventing or curing these that IL
can be uprooteJ. The deaths from consunnp.
ton have diminished since the Introduction Of
inhalation as much from the prevention Of new
cases by the cure Of ca.arrah and bronchitis a.
from the cure Gf cases 10 which the lungs were
actually involved Ia disease. Many persons
return 10 me each fall, 10 comfortable bodily
health, To be treated for q cold or slight
sore throat" who year previous came under
my care with oil the symptoms of incipient
consumption. A few weeks removes the irrita
tion, and they pass on again probably Tor
auother year In comfort and safety. II all
would act thus wisely consumption would soon
be In a great degree banished. Those who
"hack " and clear the throat " every morning,
who are ever "raspipg" to get rid Of sticky,
jslly-like mucus' from the windpipe and who
become hoarse from speaking or reading aloud
sll have catarrb, and unless they get rid Of the
diseased condition Of the mucus membrane, on
which the hacking expectoration depends, their
lungs will soon become involved In the irrita-
ton.
Now, you ask, how is catarrh 10 be got rid
Of? By very simple and speedy process. A
cold Of recent occurrence can be broken up
effectually, by the use Of the inhaler, in week;
q catarrh, II only Of few months standing, ir
three or four weeks, by daily Use Of the inhaler
and the showering syringe. Chronic or seated
catarrh, OF q year or more standing. will re-
quire longer time 10 sub1ue 1t. But every
case is cursh'e when treated In this manner,
and all that is nece slry is that you should take
little trouble al d aud give up half an hour
daily TO your health. You can use the inhaler Ut
your own home, and, II difflcu'tfor you 10 attend
at the o.Ece, can mc the catarrah syringe also.
Tae expense stirling, while the benefit lie beyord
price. Who would not expend few dollars
In getting rid Of a troublesome cold, rather
than tamper with II for months with "cough
sirups" aud quackish compounds bought at the
drug stores, to the danger not only Of health,
but Of lille itself: Who would reckon the cost
Of uprootiug a catarrh, which keeps them hack
ing and splitting In the most annoying manner,
to soy nothing Of the peril to which 1t exposes
the lungs: speak freely on these points, be
cause know their importance. There Is no
affliction that so feeds and nurtures consump,
ton as ca,arrh, ard no treatment that will up
root catarrh so speedily or half so effectually
as the "inhal.r and the /" "catarrh syringe"
Ny next letter will be on Ghronie Bronrhitis
which regard as tie second link In the chain
Of causes Of consumption.
