Casarrh
maniiests Itself by a discharge from the head,
varying It's nature In different cases, aud even
In the same Individual at different times 1t
may be a thin, colcrleSs, acrid ttuid or glary
starch: like substance; generally, however 1t Is
thick. purulent or muco-purulent matter,
either gTeenish yellow OF OF deep green tint, oe-
casionally streaked or flecked with blood. So
copious and offensive is the discharge In many
cases that the patient feels as though his whole
head was In a state OF corruption.
Much OF the discharge passes backward into
the throat or col ecUs as tough, v!Scid phlegm
Dt hind and above the soft palate, Ia the passage
between the throat and head. creating con-
stant and almost Irresistible desire to obtain re-
l1ef by hawking" a practice characteristic to
catarrh and as embarrassing to the one affected
as it is disagreeable to those around. Often the
phlegm Is so tenacious that the most persistent
and exhaustive efforts fall to dislodge it until
some food or stimulant is swallowed.
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
structlng breathing and producing serious dis
alton, which in time may destroy the bony
structure OF the nose ana produce its Sub5e-
quent flattening.
OFFENSIVE BREATH.
The breath Is always tainted and is some
tunes so TeVclt1ngIy offensive as TO render the
sufferer an object Of disgust to himself as well
as TO others; and cases are occasionally met
with In Which the stencil Is really overpO Her-
iDg and sufficiently, fetid to poison the at
mcsphere OF a whole room. thus a person
aHected with catarrh lives continually In an
Impure atmosphere of his Own surrounding,
ana 1nhales POISONOUS efliuylum With every
breath.
In many cases the nose is stopped up, some
times Oh one side. sometimes on the other, and
often on both, giving rise TO diSagreeable
'Stutly" sensation In the head, accompanied by
occasional violent and prolonged paroxysm5 Of
sneezing. Again, distressing feeling OF full
ness or compression is experienced above or
between 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 1t is taken for neuralgia The
sense OF smell is generally blunUed Or entirely
lost, and taste may become similarly affected.
