DEyELoPmENr OF CORRUPTION.

The alarming tendency manifested by catarrh to
the development OF consumption is a fact more and
more recognized by the profession, as it has long
since been noticed by myself and other physicians
devoting themselves to this speciality. Indeed all
authorities now agree that next to hereditary pre-
disposition Catarrh is one of the chief and most
frequent causes of that fatal complaint and it
scarcely be otherwise when the nature of Catarrh is
taken into consideration. Its tendency is to keep
the delicate structure of the mucous membrane lin.
ing the respiratory organs in a constant state Of
Inflammation, irritation and discomfort and to exer
else depressing, facilitating and enervating effect
upon the system. Under these circumstances the
strongest constitution will in time break down and
the system will be unable to endure or resist atmo-
spheric changes and other unfavorable influences,
and thus one after another the vital powers give
way. The patient loses flesh and strength, feels
constantly tired and exhausted and inclined to
drowsiness and sleep. The stomach becoming af-
fected, owing to the large amount OF often
sve secretion which is constantly conveyed to
it with the food and drink, digestion is
impaired and the appetite fails. The mucous
membrane becomes morbidly sensitive, and, in
spite of the utmost care, becomes affected from
the slightest causes, that at last even breath
of wind upon the lining of the nose or throat
becomes productive of a cold, and gives rise
to a serious disturbance of the respiratory organs
Thus the patient subject to frequent and repeated
colds each aggravating the disease by giving it
new impulse, and attacking larger extent of sur
face than its predecessor. In this manner the
Inflammation spreads from organ to organ, invad-
ing the throat, larynx and bronchial tubes, until,
encroaching further and further, it finally reaches
the lungs. Let the lesson be borne in mind
which experience teaches US daily, THAT TO NEGLECT
THE PROPER TREATMENT OF cArARRu Is TO RISK
DEATH FROM CONSUMPTION.

GAMBLING.

A good deal of breath is being wasted in
criticism of the City Trustees because they
decline to license gambling, and it is
charged that the Board refuses to do SO
because, and only because. ''public opinion
is NOT prepared for it" We venture to
suggest that the Trustees have more wisdom
than their critics, since they probably
rsalizs that they cannot license that to be
done which by the laws Of the State it is
unlawful to do.

CArARRH OF THE ruRoAr

The throat is invariably more or less involved in
Catarrh producing feeling of fullness and uneasi.
ness which exctes an almost constant disposition to
swallow or to serape the throat, accompanied, at
times, by sensation Of rawness, irritation dis
comfort behind and above the soft palate or in the
throat itself. Occasionally an almost constant sensa
ton of disagreeable dryness is experienced, giving
rise to considerable distress. Cough of variable
severity is often present. sometimes of mere hack.
ing character, but occasionally Of very severe and
troublesome nature, accompanied by wandering
pains and other uncomfortable sensations through
the chest.
The voice is always more or less affected,
becoming hoarse, weak, uneven, mufIled or
cracked, and occasionally it Is SO impaired
that it Degenerate into a mere hoarse
whisper.

AURAL cArARRH-pYAFNEss.

Catarfh is one Of the most frequent causes of deaf
ness This fact is fully recognized by all aurists Of
repute, and Is Of itself Of sufficient importance to
direct public and professional attention to its timely
removal. The late DR.. Ed. NJ. Curtis, who was SO
deservedy held in the highest esteem ia this com
munity, in a paper read before the Medical Soci-
ETY. of the State Of California, in 1878, entitled
" How We Become Deaf" gives as his experience
that at least ninetenths of all the cases of trouble
of hearing that he had seen this coast had been
from this one source-that very prevalent and an
noying disease Catarrh which has variety of
causes and assumes number Of FORMS" and
his experience is fully corroborated by my
own. Scarcely any one afflicted with Ca
tarrh for any length OF time has acute or alb
solutely normal hearing. With some the hearing
suffers at first only by spells, the ears becoming OBJ
structed with each accession Of cold but by degrees
the spells Of deafness occur otener and last longer
until at length the hearing remains permanently
impaired. In others the deafness commences
insidiously and increases slowly but gradually
until all useful hearing is lost. Occasionally the
aural Catarrh becomes aggravated through cold or
other causes, when an acute Inflammation in the ear
may be set up, resulting in earache pain and subse
quent discharge from the ear. Noises in the head
Of every conceivable description are also apt to
make their appearance. adding materially to the

OFFENSIVE BREATH.

As natural consequence, in nearly every case of
oatarrh the breath is more or less tainted, but
sometimes it is so revoltingly offensive as to rem
der the sufferer object of disgust to himself as
well as to others. Again, cases are occasionally met

OBSTRUCTION ANDyrrs CONSEQUENCES.

In Catarrh the mucous membrane OF the nose be-
comesswollen inltrated and tbickened, thereby mar
rowing the nasal passages and causing the nose to be
stopped up, sometimes on one side, sometimes on
the other, and often on both, rendering respiration
through the nose either difficult or impossible In
some cases, tumors, poyp and other morbid growths
spring up in the nasal passages, often blocking
up the nostrs to such extent that not the least
breath of air can be forced through the affected
side In all such great susceptibility to changes
of the weather is experienced, cold and
damp weather having a particular tendency
to augment the difficulty. When so affected

thus constantly traverses the airpassages, and with
all its irritating qualities is conveyed into the deli

every kind may thereby readily find their way d.

the consequences are still more disastrous as it re-
tards the development of the lungs and thereby
stunts their growth dulls their intellect and gives

Very Little Annoyance ON Railroads
Travellers Not Complaining.
The revolution which the changing of local
time all over the country has effected was ac-
complished without n jar or crinkle The
railroad men especially felicitate themselves
on tho frictionless smoothness with which
tho new order of things is moving. At the
Baltimore and Potomac depot REPUBLICAN
reporter was informed there had been little
or no confusion or annoyance arising from
the change in meridiaual time. "We change
our schedule on Sundays" said an official,
"because there is less travel on that day, and
hence fewer annoyauces suffered. Every day
on which change in schedule goes into eff
feet some persons are left" because they
are inattentive and needless of the change.
These annoyances do not happen on the
second and other subsequent days after sched-
ule change. There were probably five or six
persons who missed the trains on Sunday, the
day the change Of meridianal time took
place, but these pursons would have been
left If the local time had been unaltered.
All the trains on our road, with one eXcep-
tion, were advanced in their moment of
starting. That exception was the 4:20 p. IN.
train, which was turned back to A, and it
was by this train that the few persons who
got left were disappointed"
The Baltimore and Ohio officials told
similar story. No one had been left the
change in the schedule with the accompany
ing meridianal change worked smoothly and
everybody was satisfied. The ease with which
the change was apprehended and adopted was
an indication to the Baltimore and Ohio
people of the high intelligence of the people.
