SIR:-The facts on the symptoms OF Nasal
Diseases, as developed by the writer's scientific
research are as VIII be seen as the reader passes
The first indication OF our having taken cold
is sense OF Stuffing In the nose. The mucus
membrane Swells until 1t completely closes the
passage. This is Acute Catarrh-Of all affec-
TONS The most common and the least regarded.
Nest persons have two or three such attacks
every year, but rarely think 1t necessary TO do
follows the Acute form, and is the direct conse-
quence OF leaving simple cold In the head TO
cure user. After longer or shorter time, its
victim finds that, although the difficulty OF
breathing through the nose has passed of, there
stlIi remains slight discharge OF yellow mucuS.
Inls Is chronic Catarrh. on looking into the
nose we now find the membrane tnickened,
redder than in health and often liberated.
Chronic Catarrh occurs in several forms. In
the simplest form we have merely an accumu-
lat1on OF yellow OF straw colored mucus In the
posterior mares, above and behind the palate
which Its victim hawks out from time to time
curing the day. In the second small sores form
curing frequent attention to keep 1t free. Ia
the third. false membrane forms In the nos
Urls, which its victim removes from time to
time. Frequently this membrane is bloody
where It has been torn from points Of liberation
within the nose. In the fourth the secretion is
thin, and drops down into the throat whenever
snuf1s up the air. When the alterations are
considerable the secretion becomes purulent.
There Is, moreover, often loss OF smell and
Wnen the liberation has eaten through the
offensive odor.
Catarrh occurs at all ages, being found In
fer1Dg from 1t are much more liable to take cold
on slight exposure. 1t is much worse In the
autumn and winter than during the warm
months or summer.
Influenza is Catarrh OF the frontal siuuses,
There are two considerable cavities in the
frontal bone lust above the root of the nose.
II you place your hand over the forehead, be-
tween and slightly above the eyebrows. you
Will feel the elevation In the bone over these
cavities. They are very large In some persons
the frontal sinuses are lined by mucuous mem
brane, the same as the nose, and are connected
with the nasal cavity by short duct.
when the victim suffers from Catarrh, the
disease Is liable TO extend along this duct to the
frontal sinus, producing headache. and that
distress over the region OF the forehead which
Is Known as influenza
3. Ezena is only another name for a very bad
FORM or Chronic Catarrh OF the nose, occurring
IN an unhealthy constitution. When the
health Is injured and the vitality OF the sys-
tem is broken down, all local diseases are liable
TO assume an aggravated character Not un-
frequently Uzena is produced by a vitiated
state OF the blood. From whatever cause it
arises, 1t Is most serious affection. for II 1t be
not arrested 1t will aSsuredly cause the de-
structlon or the bones OF the nose, and may
end fatally.
L1poma is a chronic enlargement of the sub
cutaneous and cutaneous structure OF the nose.
=
is usually OF purplish red color.
Nasal Polypi is a soft moist tumor Of Shin
Ing, g1ayiSh color. It's structure Is very nearly
Identical With that OF the mucous membrane, TO
which 1t is firmly attached. The symptoms or
nasal polypt are the sensa tons OF a stoppage of
the nostr1l which eventually amounts 10
nasal respiration. By forcing the breath
through tie nostrtl, 1t will be noticed to de
scend, and the reverse, by nasal Inspiration. AS
the polypuS grows 1t presses upon the neighbor-
ing parts, and causes the closure OF the nasal
cavity.
regard these maladies as the only feeders OF
pulmonary irritation, and by no other means
can we SO enectually guard the throate hron-
chial tubes, and lungs from disease, as by
promptly removing the dScomf0rtS outlined.
