Nasal CataTIh ) Treatment
An entirely new mode of
curing the disease.
A CASE IN HIS OWN PRACTICE.

Nasal Catarrh Is an exceedingly trouble
some disease and affects great numbers in
this locality. 1t consists of an inflammation
which begins behind and little above the
veil of the palate and extends upward into
the nose. It is not always confined to the
nasal cavities, but frequently affects the
antrums and sinuses which lie behind q
large portion OF the face and lower part OF
the forehead. 80 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 There Is often con-
II something acre sticking in the upper part
of the throat. AS the disease advances, the
morbid andDffensive m ucous drops into tn g
throat, passes into the stomach, yltiates us
secretions, impairs digestion and thus un-
dermlnes the general health. If the catarrh
IL not cut of the deeper portions OF the
| throat, The. larynx, bronchial tubes ana
finally the lungs, become involved, and the
patient dies Of Consumption.
But to the treatment. During the month
OF April highly respectable young lady OF
this city came under my treatment for one
| OF the worst forms OF Catarrh. SO much
had the disease worn upon this patient that
| she became emaciated, bilious. sallow, dys-
peptic and OF very feeble strength and VI
| tality. Superadded to these were hacking
cough, night sweats and the insidious APP
| breaches OF hectic Under all these symp-
IONS it was not strange that the most seri-
Gus results were apprehended, even after
| assured by me that the CatarTh mad not YET
reached the lungs,
The first step In the treatment OF this case
! was 10 battle the pharynX and entire nasel
| cavities with moderated spray once day
with my showeripg syringe. The deeper
| portions OF the throat and the larynX were
| likewise treated. During these local applica-
| tons the general health was being built up
with tonic and Alternative medicines address
ed TO the system through the stomach and
circulation. In the course OF few weeks
| the air passages were thoroughly cleansed oil
morbid secretions, the inflammation COM
pletely 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 ahealthy color, the eye again
sparkled with a new life, and the patient
has since enjoyed excellent health.
In addi ion 10 the medicated shower we
sometimes employ ointments, yapors, and
other sternutatories, all of which are Won
deriully efficacious when properly applied
The season Is upon US for the pro-
duction and sggravation Of Pulmonary
