sion of colds, of sudden transition
and may arise from cold or success
from heat to cold or atmospheric
changes, wearing wet clothing, or OK
posure to inclement weather and be-
comins thoroughly chilled when the
digestive rgans are in morbid OF
| inactive condition and the strength
and vital forces exhausted. The dis.
ease may arise from scrofulous con-
dition of the blood, from scarlet fever,
measles and diptheria, or any diseases
affecting the mucous membrane lining
the throat, nasal organs or cavity oi
the head, in which cases the eye, and
more especially the ear, are generally
involved and discharge quantities Of
matter. The discharges from the
nose, which is the distinctive feature
in all catarrhal cases of the head
from whatever cause they may arise
may be thin and watery, and so acid
as to cause redness and excoriation Of
the skin with which they come in
contact, or thick and yellowiah, emit
ting foul oder, which in some cases
is very offensive the surface being
dry and feverish, the face, front and
upper part of the head feeling hot
and uncomfortable and as if it was
encircled by tight unyielding band.
This latter phase is called Dry Ca
tarrh. Tbs free, msttery discharges
cause the passages to swell and be-
come thickened, rendering breathing
through the nose difficult or impossi-
BILE, and the sufferer finds it necessary
to breath through the mouth thereby
permitting cold air to pass directly to
tie bronchial tubes and lungs. The
matter passing down the throat creates
constant desire to hawk and expeo-
torate to throw il off; but when the
membrane is dry and feverisb, instead
of passing freely down from the nose
and throat, the mucous becomes hard
and forms into scabs, inorustations
and hard Jumps, which adhere 50
firmly to the nasal passages and
throat as to require very persistent
efforts to dislodge them. The eye in
sympathy becomes inaamed, rcd,
weak and watery, or in the morning

destroying the membrance tympanum
or drumhead and finally deafness
sets in. The throat, bronchial tubes
and lungs are in many cases affected
by Catarrh, and when prostration
of the nervous system is superaded
such affections become alarming.
A brief survey of this most serious
disease warns all who are afflicted
with it to make speedy preparations
for its treatment before it is too late.
Every step towards Doctor who
treats this disease successfully is a
wise one, and the following testimc-
nial may serve to indicate the success

DR.. j. f. SAUL:
