may be thin. color'ess, acrid fluid, or glary,
starch, like substance; generally, however, IL is
thick, purulenJ or mucO-purulent matter,
either greenIsh yellow or OF deep green tint,
copious and offensive is the discharge in many
cases that the patient feels as though his whole
head was In q state OF corruption.
Much OF the discharge passes backward into
the throat or collects as a tough, viscid phlegm

between the throat and head creating con-
slant and almost Irresistible desire to obtain

affected as 1t is disagreeable TO those around.
Often the phlegm Is so tenacious that the most
persistent and exhaustive efforts fail to dis

Again, the offensive matter deposits itself in
the nasal cavities in the shape OF dry. hard
crusts. which In some cases accumulates TO
such an extent as to form regular plug, OBJ

OFFENSIVE BREATH.

often on both. giving rise to a dsagreeable,
"stufly" sensation In the head, accompanied
by occasional violent and prolonged paroxysms
