CONSEQUENCES OF NEGLECT.

Those who indorse the stupid assertion that
"Catarrh will get we'll 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 Jermentdu1e cond'-
ton Of The blood.
Medical writers are wont to speak OF Oatarrh
"A a simple local Inflammation, and both its i'm
portauce and rational treatment are either
wholly ignored, or receive but a passing notice
from the general practitioner; and thus Catarrh
as surely predsposes TO Consumption as does
the day precede the night, and Is IN TACT the
prelude 10 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 fallacy that 1t is incura0le
and settle into a sort Of mental apathy, encOur.
aged by the belief that the family physician
knows all that is known on the sHblect; and
thus matters stand while the disease progresses
until hope is dead, and life becomes nockery,
when comes the stereOtyped and hackneyed al.
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-
ferred to is that which lies beyond the confines
of the fostering grave, and the spring Is that
season which blooms eternal when LIES itiul
fever is over.
Let those who doubt this portrayal of Catarrh
question the poor cORsumptive, whose sun oil
life is going down at noon or watch its progress
upon those wfO 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 Como out,
the hands are folded peacefully over the still
heart-they are gone.
