TREATMENT OF CATARRH.

Catarrh, when left TO itself, or aggra.
waited by improper medication, has scarce
ly rival among diseases in its speedy
yet stealthy subjugation of the entire
system. The organs of sight, hearing,
taste, and smell, are soon affected. and
gradually but surely they become inert,
so far as performing their proper func-
tons is concerned. Pnlrid matter drains
continually from the diseased cavaties of
the head apd throat into the stomach,
especially during sleep, and is taken up
by greedy absorbeDts. which. by means
of the blood, soon disseminate through
out the whole body insidious devitalizs>
ton and delay.
Ny method of treatment for catarrh
embraces the thorough topical medica>
ton of the affected regions by the most
ingenious process. Every part of the
diseased mucous membrane can be etfec
lively subjected to the most perfect and
complete remedial control
Not only am enabled to bring any de-
sired medical solution to act directly upon
the very seat OF the disease, but my pros
cess also allows the remedy employed to
be kept in contact with the effected sur.
face sufficiently long to exercise its full
curative powers without producing the
least pain.
