Of the pharynx Tor throat is liable to
produce in the lining membrane dis
eased condition similar to that existing
in the air passages of the head. The
throat may feel dry, husky, and at times
slightly sore or raw, or, from the muco-
purulent discharge that is almost con-
stantly dropping down over its surface,
the patient may feel very little incon-
venience from the disease of the throat
until it is far advanced-the moistening
and lubricating effect of the matter that
drops on the surface tending to blunt
the sensibility of the parts. The back
of the throat may be pale, or of dark
red color. In the advanced stages its
surface will be studded with very small
ulcers, which, as seen through the
mouth, look like small pimples or "can-
ker sores" for which they are often mis-
taken. The patient may at times ex-
perience a tickling sensation in the
throat, with perhaps slight cough. The
voice may be more or less affected, espe-
cially on exposure to cold or over exer-
ton.
! have already detailed the manner
in which the throat becomes affected
from Catarrh. By the same process of
extension, the bronchial tubes, and last
ly the parenchyma or substance OF the
lungs, in their turn. are diseased, and
Bronchitis and Consumption firmly es-
tablished. Tightness in the chest, with
difficulty of breathing, soreness, darling,
Sharp or dull, heavy pain, or a prickly,
distressing sensation, accompanied with
more or less cough and expectoration,
are evidence that the bronchial tubes
have become affected, and should adj
monish the sufferer that he is now
standing upon the stepping stone to
Consumption, over which thousands an
nually tread in their slow, yet sure,
journey to the grave.
By means of small canal called the
eustachian tube, an air passage and
communication between the throat and
middle ear is formed. This passage is
lined by continuation of the mucous
membrane which lines the throat and
nasal passages. The Catarrhal infiam-
matory process, by continuity Of sur
face, follows the mucous membrane,
thickening its structure, until the Gus
tachian tube is closed, and the beauti-
full mechanism of the internal ear is
rendered useless. While the thicken-
ing of the lining mucous membrane is
going on, and the passage is gradually
becoming closed lard this process
sometimes extends through several
years., the patient will occasionally,
while blowing the nose, experience q
cracking sound in one or both ears, and
hearing becomes dull, but returns sud-
denly, accompanied with swapping
sound. This may be repeated many
times, until finally hearing does not re-
turn, but remains permanently injured.
In other cases hearing is lost so gradu-
ally that a considerable degree Of deaf
ness may exist before the person is real
ly aware of the fact. Either condition
is often accompanied with noises in the
head, of every conceivable description,
increasing the distress of the sufferer.
Plain Words and Facts for the afflicted.
Physicians and patients have hereto
fore sought in vain for a correct theory
of the nature and cure Of Chronic Ca
tarrh, no medical work extant contain
ing it. No medical author has ever
heretofore made it special study, and
elected its correct nature for the guild.
ance Of the medical profession. In
fact, although the most prevalent dis
ease which afflicts mankind, no other
disease has been so sighted and unno-
ticed by medical writer's, students and
physicians. To this fact | attribute this
deplorable failure in its treatment and
the consequent false idea conveyed to
the public that the disease is incurable
The best evidence of what can be done
in the treatment of any disease is to be
found in the past success Of the treat
ment to be employed. An old proverb
says, "what has been done may be
done again." In view of these facts,
and knowing that have cured thou

have never failed to effect a perfect
cure when | have had o reasonable
chance, | hereby offer, in good faith,
$500 reoard for a case Of Catarrh which /

and every case of it if my directions are

try to make light of it by thinking that
it is only Catarrh? Do you not know
that consumption and insanity are

thereby millions of graves are filled ?

is so easily and cheaply obtained? Is
it not duty that you owe to others, as
well as yourself, to get rid of this dis

the contrary, it will, unless cured, wear
you out. Do not think because irritat.
