Nasal Ca'aTIh ! Treatment
An entirely new mode OF
curing the disease.
A CASE IN HIS OWN PRACTICE.

Nasal Catarrh Is an exceedingly trouble.
come disease and affects great numbers in
this locality 1t consists OF an inflammation
viii, h begins benin" and little above the
veil of the Ialate and ex lends upward in o
the nose. 1t Is not always confined TO the
nasal cavities, but frequently affect the
antrums and sinuses which lie behind a
| large portion OF the face and lower part OF
| the orehesd. SO severe Is the pain in many
cases, and so abundant the discharge, that
| many o. It's victims ieel as II their whole
head were dis. aSed The is often con-
| slant desire TO swallow and q sensation as
| II something acre sticking in the upper part
| of the throat. hSthe .lSeaSe advances, the
mGrbi and offensive mucous drops into the
throar, passes into the stomach, vitiates its
secretiOnS, mpalrS digestion ana mus un-
dermlncs the general heal h. If the catarrh
is not cut of the deeper portions OF the
throat, lhs larynx, bronchial tubes and
finally the lungs, become involved, and the
patient dies Of Consumption.
But TO the treatment. During the month
OF prll highly respectable young lady OF
this city came under my treatment iOr one
OF the worst 1orm' of Catarrh. 80 lnuch
had the disease worn upon this patient hat
she became emaciated, bilious, salloW, avs
pPptic and OF very feeble strength and VI.
tality. Superauded to these were hacking
cough, night SweatS and the lnsidiouS APP
proaches OF hectic Under all these symp-
IONS il was not strange that the most seri-
Gus results were apprehended, even after
assured by me that the CatarI b had not yet
reached The lungs.
The first step in the treatment OF this case
was Ia hathe the pharyux and entire nasal
cavities with moderated spray once day
with my showering syringe. The deeper
nor tionS of the throat and The laIynX were
Tikewre ire atet. During these local applica-
lions the general health was being built mp
with tonic and GherGttre medicines address
ed TO the system through the stomach and
-tr 1at In a Df
the air passages were thoroughly cleansed OF
morbid secretions, the inflammation com
plete!y subdued, the digestion toned up,
nutrition increased, vitality restored and
healthy action established throughout the
whole system. The great danger which
threatened the lungs now passed away, the
skin assumed healthy color, the eye again
sparkled with new life, and the patient
has since enjoyed excellent health.
In addi ion To the medicated shower we
sometimes employ ointmeuts, vapors, and
other sternutatories, all of which are Won
dertully efiicacious when properly applied.

duction and aggravation OF Pulmonary
