nFane OF the nasal passages aud those cayi-
Iles OF the head communicating with them

u ls apt IN its progress to become instrII-

oi SMELL taste, hearing, and sight and IN
creating serious constitutional deranae-
consumption.
AT the commencement Of the malady, the
symptoms are those Of an ordinary cold. A
Iecllng OF irritation, sensitiveuess, heat or
PAIN IS experienced In the nose, the edges
OF which are red and swollen. and which Is
sLoppeu up sometimes on one side. some
slnes on the other, and occasionally on
DoIn, rendering respiration through il either
dlilcult or impossible. This condition
Is accompanied by frequent desire TO
sneeze, aud discharge of at first clear,
acrid water, afterwards Of prOfiIse thick,
yellowish and extremely offensive matter.
This secretion becomes purulent and in
creased In qhantity IA the complaint pro-
crosses, assumes an exceedingly fetid odor
and forms one Of the most characteristic
features of the disease, and n source of the
greatest annoyance and danger. 1t escapes
not only by the nose, but passes into the
throat, producing by its lodgment local
irritation, and requires frequent expectora-
ton, hawking, or scraping for its removal.
As its passage into the throat Is very much
facilitated by horizontal position of the
body, sleep IS frequently disturbed by Il
sensation Of choking in consequence. and
many are obliged to lie In seml-recum-
bent position to obtain necessary reposc.
Owing to the Inflammation and heat in the
head, the watery portion of the discharge
often cvaporates, and the rest assuming n

the throat in the shape of crusts or hard

crustations produces feeling of discom-

will after its removal, sometimes be found
bloody, a fact which explains the force re-
quired for its dislodgment. During sleep
these incrustations accumulate more ran
idly, and the feeling is therefore most un-
comfortable in the morning. Sometimes
all efforts to clear the throat are futile un-
til after breakfast, or after some stimulant
has been swallowed. liberation of the
