Catarrh, in general terms, may be re-
garded as an Inflammation, acute or
chronic, of the mucous membrane of the
air cavities of the frontal portion of the
head. There may be a discharge from
the nOstrils or the throat, or by both, or q
dryness of the parts, sensation of heat
and difficulty of breathing through the
nose, a sense of fullness in the region of
the forehead, dullness of hearing, dim
ness of sight, impaired sense of smell or
taste, headache, vertigo, roaring or hiss
ing noises in the ears. Not only do the
senses suffer, but often a very marked
effect upon the mind is apparent-a de-
sPondency, nervousness, apprehension of
coming danger or trouble, difficulty or
utter inability OF concentrating the mind,
and treacherOus memory. These are
some of the more common symptoms of
the disease after It has become firmly es-
tablished. OF course we shall not expect
to find all OF these symptoms existing at
one time, but some Of them are usually
present in every well defined case of Ma
sal Catarrh.
Patients are often deceived in regard to
the time of the first invasion of the dis
ease. It is suddenly developed by a vio-
lent cold, and the symptoms become so
marked and alarming as to attract atten-
tion and excite the fears of the sufferer,

denly seized upon him, while the real
truth may be that it has existed in some
form for months, and possibly for years,
and il has taken this last exciting cause
to arouse it TO a stage of special aggrava-
ton and danger. The effect of Cstarrh
upon the breath is to impart to it a most
offensive eifluvia, of which often the vic
tim himself is unconscious; this effiuvia
is poisonous, and this poison may be

tiopS, partially contagious. The air of q
Gloss sleeping room, for instance, may
become so infected that a well person
would incur great hazard by occupying it
in company with person thus afflicted.
The secretions from the nose and throat
are poisoncigs, and the sffect upon the

Catarrh.
say confidently to those who are suf-
fering from Cstarrh, that this disease is
curable-that a cure can be effected in
every instance where there are no other
serious complications. Asthma, once so
obscure and hard to manage, can be
cured. Throat Diseases and Bronchial Ia
hamm4tions readily yield to the new
treatment, and Consumption itself may
be arrested and cured.
An interview is desirable for an exam
ination, but persons who cannot call may
write for " list of Questions.
