Catarrh and Throat Affections.


Catarrh and Throat Affections.
Catarrh manifests itself by discharge from the
head varying its nature in different cases, and
may be thin, colOrleSS acrid fluid, or a glary,
starch-like substance; generally, however, 1t is
thick, purulent or muco-purulent matter, either
streaked or fiecked with blood. SO copious and
offensive is the discharge in many that the
patient feels as though his whole head was in a
state of corruption.
Much OF the discharge passes backward into the
throat OF collects as tough, viscid phegm behind
the throat and head, creating a constant and
almost irresistible desire to obtain relief by
hawking" practice characteristic to catarrh,
ana as embarrassing to the one affected as 1t is
d1Sagreeable to those around. Often the phlegm
Is SO tenacious that the most persistent and ex-
hauStive efforts fail to diSOdge 1t until some food
or stimulant is swallowed.
Again, the offensive matter deposits itself in the
nasal cavities, In the shape OF dry, hard crusts,
TENT as to form regular plug, ObStructing breath
Ing and producing serious discomfort. This con-
dltion Is indicative Of liberation, which in time
may destroy the bony structure OF the nose and
produce Its subsequent f1attening
OFFENSIVE BREATH.
Ine breath is always tainted, and is sometimes
SO rGvoltlngly offensive as to render the sufferer
an object OF disgust to himself as we'll as to Others
ana eases are occasionally met with in which the
sencn is really OVerpoWering and sufficiently fetid
| TO poison the atmosphere OF a whole room. Thus
person affected with Catarrh lives continually in
an impure atmosphere of his own surroundings,
breath.
In many cases the nose is stopped up sometimes
on one Slde, sometimes on the other, and often on
0Oth, giving rise to disagreeable, "stuny" sensa-
Saton IN the head, accompanied by occasional vio-
lent and prolonged parOxysms of Sneezing Again,
distressing feeling Of fullneSS compression is
experienced above or between the eyes, or pain
man1feStS itself in the face forehead or temples,
or ON the top or back Of the head, some
tlmeS OF so severe character that it is taken for
neuralgia. The sense Of smell is generally blunted
OF entirely lost, and taste may become similarly
affected.
The voice Is husky or OF nasal character, while
01tent1meS there is continual hOarSeneSs, accom-
panied by more or less cough, excessive debility
ana emac1atiOn; indeed, in some instances the
loss OF flesh Is SO considerable and progressive as
TO suggest the existence of tubercuar disease and
not few cases OF catarrh that have come under
my notice have been regarded as consumption and
SO treated by unwary or inexperienced practl-
TONERS.
