Nasal CataTIh ! Treatment
An entirely new mode of
curing the disease.
A CASH IN HIS OWN PRACTICE.
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 q little above the
veil OF the palate and extends upward into
the nose. II is not always confined to the
nasal cavities but frequently ahec.s the
antrums and sinuses which lie behind
large portion OF the face and lower part OF
the forehead. 30 severe Is the pain In many
cases, and 80 abundant the discharge, that
many OF its victims feel as II their whole
head were diseased. There Is often con-
slant desire to swallow and a sensation as
II something tgeTe sticking in the upper part
OF the throat. AS the disease advances, the
morbid and offensive mucous drops INTO tne
throat, passes into the stomach, yitiates It's
secretions, impairs digestion and thus I'M
dermInes the general health. If the catarrh
is not cut off the deeper portions OF the
throat, the larynx, bronchial tubes ana
finally the lungs, become involved, ana the
patient dies Of Consumption.
But to the treatment During the month
OF April highly respectable young laoy Oh
this city came under my treatment Tor one
OF the worst forms OF Catarrh. 80 much
had the disease worn upon this patient that
she became emaciated, bilious, sallow, dvs.
peptic and Of very feeble strength and VI.
tality. Superadded to these were hacking
cough, night sweats and the insidious ap-
proaches OF hectic Under all these sSmp-
toms 1t was not strange that the most seri-
assured by me that the Catarrh had not yet
reached the lungs.
The first step In the treatment OF this case
| was to battle the pharynx and entire nasal
| cavities with moderated spray once day
With ~ showering syringe. The deeper
porRdfA Of the throat and the laryn1 we're
| likewise treated. During these local appllca-
tons the general health was being built up
with tonic and alternative medicines address
ed TO the system through the stomach and
Io{r m
| the air passages were thoroughly cleansed OF
| morbid secretions, the inflammation COM
pletely subdued, the digestion toned up,
nutrition increased, vitality restored ana a
healthy action established throughout the
whole system. The great danger which
threatened the LUNGS now passed away, the
skin assumed healthy color, the eye aSain
sparkled with q new life, and the patient
has since enjoyed excellent health.
In addi ion To the medicated shower we
| sometimes employ ointments, vapors, and
other sternutatories, all Of which are Won
derfully efficacious when properly applied.
The season is upon US for the pro-
duction and aggravation OF Pulmonary
Diseases. IAN ounce OF prevention is worth
a pound OF cure" Hundreds and thousands
perish annually from these ailments that
might be saved by timely aid.

and faithfully carried out, seldom fails TO
