Treatment Of Catarrh.

thtil within comparatively recent
period, Catarrh has been considered
lncurah!e, ami unfortunately it is still
so regarded to u great extent, by both
the profession and the pGalic. We say
unfortunately, because under the inl!u-
ence OF this erroneous Impression, many
who suffer ffem this loathsome and
dangerous disease, permit 1t to progress
III its fatal course without. making any
effort for its renewal, contenting them
selves with the mere occasional appli-
cation or some of the thousand and one
simple remedies which afford little
temporary relief. That Ca,arrh, how
ever is as durable rs any other chronic
disease, If treated uBderstandingIy, ON
rational principles, and in an ct.rctual
manner, lIas been abundantly demon
strated by the authors practice. He
has effected radical cures in any mum
ber of cases, representing the disease in
ali its various forms and stages, and the
numerous certificates In his possession
from responsible aud well known par
ties, in acknowledgment OF the cures
effected in their cases, some of which
have been published from time To time,
are SO many stubborn and incontrovert-
ib!e facts in support of this assertion.
In this connection the author does not
consider il out place to state, that his
practice has always been confined to
treatment of diseases of tho mucous
membrane, ana that, consequently, he
had the most comprehensive opportu-
mites of thoroughly observing the ma
turc and progress of Catarrh, aud the
widespread and pernicious effects To
which ii gives rise. His observations
induced him TO study the disease more
particularly, and to systemize tile en-
pirical and superficial treat ment hither-
To in vogue, The result of his observa-
tons he has embodied in various ESSAYS,
which have been published from time
to time, ana reused the attentions ofthc
public 10 the importance of the subject
The author can justly claim the honor
Of being the first medical writer in this
special department, rs he is the first
who recognized Catarrh rs distinct
Affection, correctly descrlbcd its symp-
toms, made Its treatment u special study.
and demonstrated its durability beyond
doubt. ,.

CATARRH,
By II. p. LIGHTHILL,MD.
Nature and Causes Of Catarrh.

Among The long list Of chronic dis
eases affecting the human frame, Ca
tarrh ranks as one of the most import
ant, on account OF its alarming freuuen-
cy, and dangerous complications. I'm
its earlier stages the difficulty consist
OF an Inflammation of the mucous nicn-
brane OF the nose, and certain adjoining
cavities, called sUlUScS, communicating
with the nasal passages { of which The
spienOidal ana ctnmoidal cells are
those most frequently Implicated but

ment OF bronchitis, asthma, and con-

Asa general thing, Catarrh is the
result OF a cold. Ii may be the SEQUENCE
ola single severe attack, occurring mt a
time when the system is weak and en-.
teebled, or of several attacks repeated
in rapid succession, SO that the mucous

the effects OF one attack before another
IL superadded. AS other causes of Ca
tarrh may be mentioned scarlet fever,
measles, scrofula, smallpox, diphtheria
and other diseases affecting the lining
mem branc Of the throat aud no.e. The
great frequency of Catarrh is mainly
due to the neglect Of ordinary colds, Of
which our peculiarly variable climate
IS 20 very productive. Unfortunately,
a cold is generally considered OF so little
consequence, that 40 effort is made to
remove it until it becomes very severe,
has lnsted an unusual length OF time, or
produced serious complications, aud by
such proclastination this, at first
mere triiiing complaint, il allowed to
progress until ii becomes severe, abid-
ing, and destructive disease, capable of
producing incalculable Injury.

While an earnest prayer to God made,

But still heard the voice procts:m

And help was given me from above

Symptoms and Effects Of Catayrh.

oi which are red ana sometimes slight
iy swollen, together with II stopping up
-! the nasal passages which close some
times Oh one side, sometimes on the
other, and occasionally on both, render
ing nasal respiration either difficult or
impossible. This condition is accom-
paiiied by a discharge, sometimes of
clear, aciid water, but oftener of q pro-
fuee, thick, yellow, or greenish matter,
which, in the progress of the disease,
assumes puruient appearance and All
exceedingly offensive odor, constitut-
ing one OF the most disagreeablc fea-
lures of the complaint. and a source of
the greatest annoyance aud danger
This morbid secretion docs not often
CON fine itself TO the nasal cavities alone,
but flows down into the throat by the
posterior mares, giving rise 10 a constant
tingling and stinging sersation about
the uvula and soft palate, or To a feel
ing Of tincnsiness about the poaterior
mares and taGce.. The discomfort
thus created produces ap almost con
slant and irresistible desire to obtain
relief in drawing the mucous down the
