1n'this connect:s. there can hardly be a more
interesting subject than the ultimate effect OF
catArrh 2 Doc the bearing The process OF this
disease i'd poisoning the breath, rottine away
the delica q machinery Of smell and taste,
poisoning the lDaes and blood and passing into
the stomach embedding the digestion, vitiating
the secretious ard pollutipg the very fountains
of life; all this has perhaps been very generally
discussed: eut .he very frequent effect OF catArrh
of the nose and throat upon the hearing has not
been touched upon as often as the subject war
rants.
A very little study Of anatomy will show the
reader that the Junction Of the back pas
sage OF the nose and the upper parts of the
throat is connected with the ear by minute
and delicate passage known az the Eustachian
tube. Along this tube the catarrhal process ex-
tends, producing congestion and inflammation.
BY the further extension of this process TO the
mucous lining Of the tympanum OF the ear 10
caused 10 some cases slight forms or catarrn In
the middle ear, and in this way partial or COM
plete deafness IL produced.
Partial or complete deafness may IN ike man
ner result from the swollen, thickened tissue
encroaching upon the mouth of the Eustachisn
tube.
Partial or complete deafness may result from
catarrhal interference with the nasal breathing,
depriving the ear of q proper supply OF pure air,
or from the effects Of obstruction in the nasal
passages. causing undue rarlhcstion or eoadens-
alton Of the air In the middle ear.
In such cases as these, general remedies.
which often prescribed, prove comparatively
Ineffective. A cure can only be obtained BY
skiilful and scieptihc local treatment-and let
it be said here that nothing could be attended
with more disastrous result than uuskillful
local sreatment-combined with constitutional
treatment aud care for the disease which
brought about the trouble 10 the hearing.
