Early Manifestations Of CONSUMPTION,

If person has an obstinate cough, which COM
menced without any obvious cause, n cough which
is at first dry and hacking and subsequently at
tended for time with lrothy or mucilaginous-
looking eXpectoration, accompanied by wandering
pains about the chest and loss OF flesh to a
slight extent he is in all probability consumptiye
If besides there be hHmopNsis or splitting of
blood, even to the amount of drachm, the prob
ability is increased t. almost certainty If in
addition to these symptoms, the breathing becomes
harsh, hurried and deep inspirations evoke a few
clicks of dry and cracking sound, or if the
voice becomes permanently weak and hoarse
there can be little doubt that the person is suf-
ferng under consumption.
If person from the dysentery and who has not
resided in tropical climates suffers from obstinate
darrhHa which goes on month after month with
slight remission on ntermission even though there
be no cough he is most likely consumptiye.
Should this darrhua be followed by chest symp-
toms OF the slightest amount the existence of
consumption is an absolute certainty. If young
adult not addicted to eneryating habits aud not
leading dissoute life without clear steadily

though no chest symptoms should have appeared ;
when such, however manifest themselves addi-
tionally the establishment of consumption is al
most fixed fact. In all cases where any of the
manifestations described make their appearance
would advise an immediate examination of the
chest and prompt resort to appropriate treat
ment.
At an early stage of consumption radical cure
be frequently effected, and health placed upon
firm and permanent footing, while with every
step in advance which the disease is allowed to
take the chances for perfect recovery diminish
correspondingly. Our readers must bear in mind
that the most skillful and efficient treatment can
do no more than to make sound and useful as
much of the lungs as is present at the time when
the progress of consumption becomes suspended
No means ON earth can replace the lung tissue
which has been destroyed by the ulcerating pro-
cess. The earlier, therefore, consumption is
attended to, the better the chances for salts

VALUE OF SPECIAL MEDICAL TREATMENT
There are many physical ailments common to
humanity which regular medical practitioners do
not always understand, and in some instances,
under a wrong apprehension of the disease
wrong and a harmful treatment is administer
ed. Some simple but obscure disease of the eye,
ear, throat or lungs is often dalled with by
physicians of limited experience, until receiv-
ing no benefit, it becomes chronic. Such casee
are often most successfully treated by compe-
tent specialists. Experience teaches that men
who devote themselves exclusively to some par
ticulsr branch Of science are most likely to be
successful in their profession. minute division
of labor seems best adapted to securing great
degree of skill in any calling. The truth of this
statement we have seen illustrated in certain
cases of disease treated by DR.. s. W. Smyth of
this city, who has become an eminent specialist
by giving clote study to diseases affecting
the throat and lungs, and those more delicate
organs of sight and hearing He seems to
cases pronounced hopeless by less expert
enced practitioners recent case of this kind
has come under our observation, in which
young lady from Cambridge, suffering with
disease of the ear, sought Dir. Smyth's aid, and
has been fully restored. The trouble was caused
by polypus in the ear, which produced pro-
fuse discharge and gave severe pain. The pa
tent had suffered several years. and been treated
by different physicians without receiving bene-
fit. After making careful examination with
modern instruments, Dir. Smyth removed from
the drumhead of the ear the polypus or
fungus growth. The instant effect was to restore
the hearing, which had been seriously impaired,
and stop all pain. She returned to her home In
high gee, and has since reported herself fully
restored.

Catarrh can be Cured.

Like a great many other troublesome offensive
or obstinate diseases Catarrh bears the unenvable
reputation OF being incurabe. In the hands of the
general practitioner it doubt proves So to
very great extent because some do not pay the
requisite attention to it, while others have not the
facility to obtain information or experience in the
treatment of such affections, having but limited
practice in that direction hence after prescribing
without success the rounds of remedies usually
recommended in medical textbooks, they dismiss
the patient with the comfortable assurance that
Caarrh is incurabe. Relying upon such sagacious
counsel, it is too frequently the that Catarrh
is allowed to its fatal course until it is too late
That Catarrh is curable if properly treated, we
can furnish abundant evidence from
practice and will be pleased to submit to those in
terested any number of testimonials from parties
of the highest responsibility, residing here and
hereabouts, who have been cured by us of this
dangerous disorder
To be able to treat Catarrh successfully, much
experience is required This can only be obtained
by seeing a large number of patients Having in
the first place received thorough medical educa-
ton, and for the past twelve years devoted our
whole time and attention to our speciality we feel
ourselves better qualified to judge as to the cura-
bility of Diseases of the Air Passages, the Eye,
Ear &c, than Physicians who only

Guided by our immense experience, We have
originated a system of treatment for the of
Catarrh which is painless and so very simple that
it can be used at home without interruption to the

7 HROAT DISEASES.

Throat diseases are quite common in this North
ern climate, subject as we are to the many atmos-
pheric changes. The throat and lungs are like
the heart the unrestng organs of the body it is
in reason to suppose that the many external inhu-
ences and the continuous wear and tear upon the
fine tissues of which they formed would tend
to their occasional arrangement. Every breath of
air that passes through the lungs, whether it be
from pure or fntd atmosphere, must pass
the sensitive surface of the membranous lining of
the throat and air passages Hence what wonder
Mt the occasional arrangement of organs delicate
ly and wonderfully constructed and tremblingly
alive to all exciting causes, when consider the
reckless disregard by the people of all hygienic
precautions
Affections of the throat are usually very mild in
the first stages and seldom come under the observ-
alton of the physician until the evil effects of the
disease become quite alarming to the patient. 1t
is melancholy to relate the vast numbers of sweet
voices destroyed by simple neglect of early aud
proper attention to the disease.
In many cases among singers particularly young
ladies) who make practice of public singing, or
IN II church choir, for instance, frequently find
that sweet, clear ringing sound either impaired or
destroyed and at times unable to sing at all. though
comparatively speaking i'll good health and in
answer to inquiries made concerning their health,
II have only cold, is invariably the reply, not
wishing to dignity it by the name of disease Thus
we find unless the symptoms very aggravated
the disease ''only cold, is not likely to come
under the observation of the physician. And in
many instances where patients have been forced to
apply to physician for remedy, they have
ceived great amount of injury to their voice with
the cure, rs in most cases of throat diseases the
regular practitioner usually follows the practice of
cauterizing and burning the throat with nitrate of
silver. And where this treatment has been in
sttuted, We have seldom found the voice return to
its soft, mellow and harmonious tones. We would,
therefore in all acute and sub-acute Ofinfam
nation, denounce the practice of Turning the throat
with nitrate of silver caustic as being quite I'M
suitable, except in of ulcers, where ii may be
used with success but in cases of inflammation it
it diminishes them
We have used nitrate of silver in a solution with
success, but the more intense the degree of
inflammation, the weaker ought to be the solution
applied to it, as the effects of the application are
soon worn off the touching of the parts affected
should be frequently repeated until the symptoms
OF the disease have been removed

Is frequent result of Catarrh. Sometimes it
amounts merely to raking effort productive
either OF no expectoration at all, or simply OF a
pellet of blueish-lookng mucus, but occasionally
the cough is severe and harassing, and the expec-
toration either alarningy copious tenacious
as to necessitate almost constant efforts for its
removal. As u natural result of this condition,
there ensues loss of appetite, excessive debility,
and emaciation. Indeed, in some instances the
loss of fesh'is considerable and progressive as
to suggest the existence of tubercular disease, and
not few cases of Catarrh that came under my
notice have been regarded as Consumption, and
treated by unwary or inexperienced practition-
crs.
