OF CHRONIC NASAL CATARRfl. -
To the Editor Of the Wyamdot Pioneer: !; !,
In our last letter, we gave the geper-
Il symptoms of this veryprevai3nt dis
ease; and we propose nov, before al
iuding to qur system Of tressment to
briefly describe some Of tsle fearful re
suits produced by neglecting a simple
case Of Cdtarrh

|. The infamation, ,at times, spreads
along the Eustachian Tubes, causing
partial or complete deafness.
9. The eyesight frequently becomes
more orless impaired, ard in some rare
INSTANCES, Inflammation Of the Brain
has been traced directly to q severe at
tack of Chronic Nasal Catarrh.
4. Not only do the bones of the nose
sometimes become involved, causing
great Disagreement of the face. hut
Cancer with it's frightful agony, and Ia
tai termination, has been known to
superyene. l.s#m
1. The digestive functions often BE-
come deranged from two causes In
the first place the inflammation may
spread down the lining membrane or
the N1sophagus to the stomach, and
secondly, the discharge dropping be-
ind the soft palate is frequently sWal-
lowed. These calIses either alone or
together produce AN injurious effect
upon the coats of the stomach, causing
dyspepsia with all its concomitalit
symptoms.
S. Chronic Nasal Catarrh almost in
variably causes. some irritation OF the
lining mucuous membrane OF the throat
and air passages, and an. early or later
date confirmed Bropcllitis, the great
stepping stone to Consumption, is the
result We have known numbers OF
cases OF Consumption where the pa
tients themselves readily traced the;l
fatal nalady to ''cold in the head.
We affirm then that the Nasal Catarr
IS really one Of the most frequent caqs
es Of Pulmonary Diseases.
These fearful sequell@ are enough tC
cause the most careless to pause. VIZ
cannot too strongly impress upon TAX
reader, that this. disease, if allowed tt
take its course, may produce some o
the most dangerous maladies ''to Whlcl
flesh is heir" Whilst by causing deaf
ness or blindness, it may render pa
tient a sufferer for a lifetime. We hav'
in this letter, for the first time, rsiyei
these complications, and we have don
so, because we notice that many Q
those with whom we converse, are ,cI}
tirelv ignorant OF the consequences o
of a ssreglectcd cold" .We shall no1
briefly bescnbe the best mode Of treat

TREATMENT.
Those who have read carefully on
remarks regarding the locality and ne
ture OF chronic Nasal Catarrh, wi

Fortunately, in this case, the whol

only employ solids and fluids to
