Cnron.c loldl Catarrh cold, hence
Carou.c Catarrh, IS al Old cold. A per
s9u taxes a cold ID tie head, has a
running al the nose, fullness and
-,opl d-up feeling OF the head, and
ulay has. headache and fever. IL Is
continually blowing Ais nose or using
AIS hand kcfchlef. Ia the course OF q
week or ten DAYS Tie symptoms dis
sppear, ana, As Tar As be knows ne has
fairly recovered, but remnant or the
c0.d may remain. Ia time he contracts
another acute cold, winch VIII increase
tae o.t trouble lett from the previous
attack. III the course Ot time he ) con-
sclous OF never beng free from A cold.
Hence, 10 is remnants Ot several colds
that generally constitutes Chronic
Catarrh, out Il som times happens that
the nrst cold Is obstinate anu becomes
chronic.
Children take cold during an attack
0t Measles Scarlet Fever, Group, Dlph-
lueua or Mumps, which cold mas ten
dency 10 run into Il chronic form Oi
tat3rrh, and may extend up through
tuc iachrvmal ducts, leaving behind
sore eyes, or It may pass through the
aQstacnlau tube INTO the middle car,
producing running OF the ears, and
partial o. even tota. deafness, or II may
attack the tOnsils, permanently enlarg-
ag them. The disease may extend
IltO the larnyx and destroy the voice
-aphOu!a, or render Il husky for lie.
Fluaily, it may pass down among the
mucous membrane into the bronchial
tubes. producing Bronchitis or Asthma,
a nd may even extend INTO the ar cells
0t the lungs and awaken Consumption;
Tor which reason the Chronic Catarrh
50 often resulting from Measles. Scarlet
Fever, etc, should be treated lmme-
Jlatcly after the child has recovered
from any of the said diseases, and
thereby avoid the fearfullingcr.ng con-
sequences which so often follow chill
dren through life. Exactly so with
adults who contract Chronic Catarrh
later IN life, and though their eyes and
tOnsllS escape, the tendency of the dis
ease TO the ears and lungs Is greater
than IN children.
VARIETIES Humid, Hypertrophic
Suppurative and Atrophlc Catarrh.
HCMID CATAERH may exist long
time without the person being con-
scIOus of 1t, as the secretlOns are slight
and not tenacious; consequently there
Is no hawking up as IA other varieties.
This form IS often called ''FOlllcular
Pharyngitis.'
HYPERTBoPHIc CATARRH-The mu-
cOus membrane Is thickened, of grayish
red appearance, and elastic to the
touch. The discharge is whltiSh,
,tr.ngv and tenaciOu5-Onc nOstrll Is
plugged up today and tomorrow the
other; or the discharge may bc SO slight
that It is not noticed except on taking q
fresh cold. Or, again, the sufferer may
hawk and spit out small quantity
either before after breakfast, and moth
ng more all day, never for a moment
Inspecting that ne has a Chronic Ca
tarrh, and when askcdwhethcr he IS so
afflicted he VIII sternly deny it. Such
persons may have dry Cataarh for 4
long time and not know II. Sometimes
the th.ckoned mucous membrane exer-
clses 50 much pressure on the irritstcd
nerves that ii produces very annoying
neuralgic pains or headache, which can
not bc permanently relieved until the
tdiarrh is cured.
SCPPURATTvE CATARRu-In this form
of Chronic Catarrh the mucous mem
lgauc Is the same condition rs in Hy-
pcrtrOphc Catarrh, except that the cx-
ucctOrauOn IS greater, and finally be-
comes prOtusc, yellow and tenacious.
Tho quantity OF the discharge from the
ostu.s and through the pOstcrlOr mares
