ITS CURE.

Like great many other troublesome,
offensive or obstinate diseases, Catafrh
bears the unenviable reputation of being
incurable. In the hands Of the general
practitioner it no doubt proves SO, TO
very great extent, because some do not
pay the requisite attention to if, while
others have not the facility to obtain in
| formation 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 medi-
cal textbooks, they dismiss the patient
with the comfortable assurance that Ca
tarrh is ineurabIe. Relying upon such sa-
| gacious counsel, it IS too frequently the
| case that Catarrh Is allowed to run its fatal
| course until it is too late.
That Catarrh is durable, Improperly treat
| ed, we can furnish abundant evidence from
our own practice, and viii be pleased TO
submit to those interested, any number Of
testimonials from parties of the highest
responsibility, residing here and herea-
bouts, who haze been cured by rs OF this
dangerous disorder.
| To be able to treat Catarrh successfully,
much experience Is required. This can
only be obtained by seeing large number
| of patients. Having in the first place re-
| ceived thorough medical education. and
| for the past twelve years devoted our
| whole time and attention TO our specially,
we feel ourselves better qualified to judge
| as to the durability of Diseases of the Air
| Passages, or the Eye, Ear, &c, than Physi-
| clans who only see cases occasionally.
Guided by our immense experience, we
have originated system of treatment for
the cure of Catarrh which IS painless and
so very simple that 1t can be used at home
without interruption TO the usual oceupa-
ton OF the patient, and so very eflcacious
that:
l. A single application gives immediate
comfort, and relieves at once the, most
distressing and painful symptoms.
?. The hardened secretions are softened
and removed, causing the greatest amount
of relief to the sufferer.

every unpleasant smell is removed, and
the breath is restored to its natural sweet
ness and purity.

And contested, causing the nose to be
stopped up, sometimes on one side, some
times on the other, and often on both,
giving rise to disagreeable, stuffy sensa-
ten in the head, and occasionally to vio-
lent and prolonged parorysms ofsEeezing.
The voice is weak, indistinet and husky,
OF of nasal character, displaying a sort
OF shifting quality. oftentimes there is a
continuous hoarseness ana discordance.
There is also a sense OF irritation in the
throat and frequent attempts to clear the
parts of phlegm, producing the sound
I" hem y more or less foFcibly. .-.
The sense of smell is sometimes blunted
or entirely lost in Catarrh, and similar

served. The eyes are apt to become irrita-

exposure to cold or wind, and q sense of
weariness of sight is usuaaiy experienced
after slight visual. exertioHs. Hearingi be-

Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1873-12-18
EFFEUTs UPON THE SYSTEM.

The pernicious influence ofCatarrh upon
the system soon manifests itself. The pa
tient loses flesh and strength, is langui d,
unable to perform mental or physical la
Dor with the usual facility, is nervous, de-
pressed in spirits, timid, agitated, and in
clined to drowsiness and sleep the mem
DRY is weakened and permanent impair
ment seriously threatened.
The mucous membrane becomes NOR
bidIy sensitive to unfsvorable influences,
and in spite OF the utmost care becomes
affected from the slightest causes, so that
at last a breath of wind upon the lining OF
the nose or throat becomes productive Of
a cold, and gives rise to a serious disturb
ance of the respiratory organs. Thus the
| patient is subject to frequent and re-
peated colds, each attack aggravating the
| disease by giving it new impulse, and
involving larger extent OF surface than
| its predecessor. In this manner the diff
| Guilty spreads from organ to organ, inyad-
ing the throat, larynx, trachea and bron-
| chial tubes, until, encroaching further and
! further, it reaches the finer ramifcations
| of the bronchi, when but a slight impulse
| is required to send it to the lungs.
Thus Catarrh becomes the starting point
| of consumptive development, the disease
| being eventually transmitted to the lungs
both by nervous connection and continu-
| tty of surface. ...
So frequently has this course been no.
! ticed, that we now look upon Catarrh as
premonitlon and one of the very earliest
manifestations of Consumption.
