CONSEQUENCES OF NEGLECT.

Those who 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 tcrmentdhre co'idi'
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 IA does
tho day precede the night and is in fact the
prelude to that disease in eight cases out of ten.
The disease is everywhere prevalent; people
resort to such means as always fail, then give
heed to the popular falacy that it is incurable,
and settle into a sort of mental apathy, enCOUr-
aged by the belief that the family physician
knows all that il known on the subject; and
thus matters stand, while the disease progresses
until hope is dead, and life becomes a BlOckery,
when comes the stereOtyped and hackneyed adj.
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 ro.
ferred to is that which lies beyond the confines
of the fostering grave, and the spring is that
season which blooms eternal when life's itful
fever il over.
Let those who doubt this portrayal of Catarrh
question the poor COHSumptivc, whose sun of
life is going down at noon, or watch its progress
upOn those wEO neglect its 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 ont,
the hands are folded peacefully over the still
heart-they are gone.
