Nasal Ca'aTIh ) Treatment
An entirely new mode of
curing llIc disease.
A CASE IN HIS OWN PRACTICE.

Nasal Catarrh IL an exceedingly trouble.
some disease and affects great numbers In
this locality II consists OF an inflam alton
which begins behind and little above the
veil of the palate and eX lends upward in @
the nose. IT is not always confined to the
nasal cavities, but frequently affec.5 the
antrums and sinuses which lie behind q
large portion OF The face and lower part OF
the forehead. SO severe is the pain in many
cases, and so abundant the discharge, that
many Of its victims feel as II their whole
head were diseased The Is often con-
slant desire to swallow and sensation rs
II sOmethiRg Ucre sticking in the unLer part
of the throat. AS the disease advances, the
morbid and offensive m ucous drops into the
throat, passes into the stomach, vttiates Its
secretions, impairs digestion and thus uu-
dermlnes the general heal h. II the catarTh
is not cut off the deeper portions OF the
throat, The larynX, bronchial tubes and
finally the lungs, become involved, and the
patient dies Of Consumption
But TO the Treatment. During the month
OF April a highly respectable young lady OF
this city came under my treatment Tor one
of the worst form OF Catarrh. so much
had the disease worn upon this patient thai
she became emaciated, bilious, Sallow, dvs.
peptic and of very feeble strength and VI
tally. Superadded TO these were hackin e
cough, night sweatS and the insidious APP
proaches Of hectic Under all these symp-
toms il was not strange that the most seri-
Gus results were apprehenGed, even after
assured by HE that the Catarfh had not yet
reached the lungs.
The first step IL the treatm ent of this case
was to battle the pharynx and entire nasal
cavities with moderated spray once day
with my showeTiDg syringe. The deeper
portions of the throat and the larynX were
likewise treated. During these local applica-
lions the general health was being built up
lflfN
ed TO the system through the stomach and
circulation. In the course of a few weeks
the air passages were thoroughly cleanSed OF
morbid secretionS, the intiImation COM
pleteIy subdued, the digestion toned up,
nutrition increased, vitality restored and q
whole system. The great danger which
threatened The lungs now passed away, the
skin assumed O healthy color, the eye again
sparkled with a new life, and the patient
has since enjoyed excellent health.
