THE SYSTEM.

Catarrhconsists contamination beginning
behind and little above the veil OF the pal
ate, and extending upward into the nose
and air cavities of the TACO. 1t creates per-
petuaI desire 10 swallow, and causes a feel
ing as II something was sticking in the mp

into hardened Jumps, the matter secreted
becomes puTllorm, the breath 1s offensive,
and the voice assumes n nasal tWang, Whlle
on rising In the morning, great effort IL re-
uuIred TO C enr the head and throat. There
Is often feeling OF pressure aGrosS anS 1oMSl T,s
zlnesS, and confusion OF thought and loss OF
memory.
The sense OF smell becomes impaired, the
cVeA are weak, and, as The Inflammation eX-
tends up the oustaceian tubes into the inter-
nal ear there is partial deafness with throb-
bIug, hunmIng or ringing noises In the car.
Ia sleep the Catarrhal matter IL unc0n-
Bciously swallowed, which, in time, de-
ranges the stomach and imPairS digestion,
causing d. dyspepsia and a multiplicity OF lis
cordant symptoms, which are oIten mis-
taken for other diseases. 70 the I9EegoinG' C

CONSEQUENCES OF NEGLECT.
Those who indorse the stupid assertion
that .'CatarTh will get well OF ITSELF or ls
durable by Gnuflng or inhalIng the nos
trlImH In common use, will do well TO re-
member that the local disease depends al
Medical writer's are wont to speak OF Ca
tarrh as a simple local Inflammation, and
both It's importance and rational treatment
are either wholly ignored, or receive but a
passing notice from the general practitioner;
and thus Catarrh as surely PredispoSses pSe ,,,o 10
night, and is in fact the prelude TO that
disease in eight cases out of ten.
The disease is everywhere prevalent; peo-
pIe resort to such means as always 1all, Ihen
give heed to the popular Eallacy that IL Ii In
curable, and settle into sort oi mental
family physician knows all that Is known
on the subject, and thus matters standI Whlle
the disease progresses until hope Is dead, and
lie becomes q mockery, when comes the
RtoreOtyped and hAckneyed advice OF a
"a sea voyage" "a return of health in the
spring." etc; but, alas the country referred
to Is that which lies beyond the confines OF
season which blooms eternal when LIES tit-
IuI fever is over.
Let those who doubt this portrayal OF Ca
tarrh question the poor cOnsumptiVe, whose
sun OF life is going down at noon, or watch
Its progress upon those who ueglect lts tline-
Iy and judicIouS treatment. A little while
nnd we miss their coming; youth and health
have faded from lips and cheek; the Ilght
fOldedly peaceably over the still heart-thoy
are gone.
