CATARRH
AND ITS EFFECT UPON
THE SYSTEM.

Catarrh consists of Inflammation beginning
behind and little above the veil of the palate,
and extending upward into the nose and air
cavities of the face. It creates a perpetual de-
sire 70 swallow, and causes feeling ss if some
thing was sticking In the upper and back part
of the throat. As the disease becomes chronic,
the matter concretes into hardened Jumps, the
matter secreted becomes puriform, the breath
is offensive and the voice assumes nasal twang,
while, on rising in the morning, great effort is
required to clear the head and throat There is
often feeling of pressure acr0es the lower part
of the forehead causing headache, dizziness
and confusion of thought and loss of memory.
The sense of smell becomes impaired, the
eyes are weak, and, as the Inflammation extends
mn the eustaceian tubes into the internal ear
| there is partial deafness, with thrObbiDg, hun.
ming OF ringing noise in the ear. In sleep, the
Catarrhal matter is unconsciously swallowed
Which, in time, deranges the stomach and i'm
pairs digestion, causing dyspepsia and multi
ptcity of discOrdant symptoms, which are often
mistaken for other diseases. To the foregoing
add the fact that every breath Of air drawn into
/ the lungs is drawn over this diseased surface
/ fostering with Catarrhal matter, and who can
deny the assertion that 10 neglect Catarrh is TO
| inUite Consumption.
Consumption is the one prevailing disease, at
the present day, with which the young and
middle aged die. And yet very seldom do the
lungs receive the primary shock. 1t is trst "a
| cold in the head which resolves into Chronic
Catarrh, from which the subject feels no alarm
until, step by step it reaches the lungs, when
all attempts at cure are little better than blind
experiments.
With every incentive to enjoyment and use
| funess there are hHndreds all around US dylRg
in the morning of life, of Consumption who can
look back six months, year, or longer, as the
case may BE, to a time when it was nothing tiH
cdtarrhh Neglected at time when properly
treated a cure was possible, silently and almost
imperceptibly it has transformed the bright
ruddv features Of youth into the dull, wan list
lessness of premature age, as it has drank up
the vitality from the blood and fluids OF the
wasted frame and now, when hope is dead, and
the life forces one by one are ebbing away, the
mind turns mournfully backward TO what
might have been" and tremblingly forward to
what soon must be.

CONSEQUENCES OF NEGLECT

Those vino indOrse the stupid assertion that
"Catarrh will get well of itself" or is durable
by shutting or inhaling the nostrums in common
use, will do well to remember that the local dis
ease depends always upon Preventative co7'di.
ton Of the blood.
Medical writers are wont TO speak of Catarrh
as simple local Inflammation, and both its i'm
portauce and rational treatment are either
wholly ignored, or receive but passing notice
from the general practitioner; and thus Catarrh
as surely predispOses to Consumption as does
the day precede the night, and is in fact the
prelude to that disease in eight cases ont Of ten.
The disease is everywhere prevalent; people
resort to such means as always fail then give
heed to the popular :allacy that il is inCurable,
and settle into sort Of mental apathy, enCOur-
aged by the belief that the family physician
knows all that is known on the subject; and
thus matters stand, while the disease progresses
until hope is dead, and life becomes a nOckery,
when comes the stereOtyped and hackneyed ad.
vice of "a visit to the country" "a change of
climate "a sea voyage" "a return of health
in the spring etc; but alas the country re-.
ierred to is that which lies beyond the confines
of the fostering grave, and the spring Is that
season which blooms eternal when LIES itful
fever is over.
Let those who doubt this portrayal of Catarrh
question the poor coRsumptive, whose sun of
life is going down ut noon, or watch its progress
upon those woo neglect it's timely and iudiCiOus
treatment. A little while and We miss their
cOming youth and health have faded from lips
and cheek, the light from the eye has gone out,
the banda are folded peacefully over the still
heart-they are gone.

Ii ACCORDANCE with the provisions Of the
tax bill passed at the last meeting Of the
City Council, discount OF 30 per cent. will
be allowed on all tax bills paid In current
funds on or before the LIST proximo. There
has been an entire cessation In the collection
oftaNes since the 18th OF July, at which time
the discount allowed bya resolution OF Coun-
ell expired, but several who were dellnquents
have already ayailcd themselves Of the priv
llegc granted by the new bill.
THE COUNTRY 10 the neighborhood of Oc-
coquan has been particularly unfortunate
this season, and serious fears are entertained
that the poorer class of persons living there
will suffer for food during the next winter.
Just previous to the wheat harvest a hail
storm almost entirely destroyed that crop,
and the prevailing drought has ruined the
corn, and unless the parched ground Is soon
refreshed with copious showers the potatoes
and oil other vegetables will DO rendered
worthless too.
IT Is SAID by those familiar with the cul-
tiyatlon Of watermelon patches that had
the season been favorable, that Is had more
rain fallen, the like of watermelons this
year would never have been known-as II Is,
the quantity is very large. The price by the
cargo Is $40 per hundred for the best, while
the common run sell at about t3.
THE Orange, Alexandria and Manassas
railroad Is now doing very heavy freight
business. Four long trains arrived last
night loaded with grain. There were 1fty-
four cars unloading on Union street at one
time this morning. Nearly all this freight
that now arrives in this city stops here.
The MOTIONS against the banks of
liowRrdsville, Scotsvllle, Monticello, Phil
llri, Pittsyyanla and the Central Bank OF
Virginia, for injunction and the appointment
OF receivers, were argued to-day before
Judge Underwood at chambers. Receivers
were appointed In all the cases except those
Of the Central and Scotsvllle, which banks
had gone into bankruptcy. Bradley T.
johnson, j. II. Gllmer, s. y. Beach and
James Necson were the counsel representing
the various parties Interested.
