Other Discomforts from Catarrh.

In many cases the nose is stopped up, some
times on one side, sometimes on the other, and
often on both, giving rise to a disagreelble
''stufly" sensation in the head, accompanied by
occasional violent and prolonged parOxysms of
sneezing. Again, distressing feeling Of full
ness or compression is experienced above and be-
tween the eyes, or pain manifests itself in the
face, forehead or temples, or on the top or back
Of the head, sometimes Of so severe a character
that II is mistaken for neuralgia. The sense of
smell is generally blunted or entirely lost, and
taste may become similarly affected.
