OZCENA.


Oz9ua is the professional or technical name
given to an advanced form of caiarrh, in which
liberation has eaten through the membrane
lining of the nose to the cartilage of the bone.
most frequently occurs In those who are
naturally scroful0us. The discharge takes
place through the nostrils or through the
throat, and is generally of a yellowfsh or
gree nish-yellow color, fri quently tinged with
blood, and almost always attended with an
offensive smell In the Language of DR.. Wood,
OF Ph1ladephia, the disease is the most obdur-
ate and d1sagreeable which the physician has
to encounter. In bad cases the breath of the
patlent becomes so revolving as to isolate hi m
from society," and render him an object az dis
gust even to himself.
In some asses pieces of bone become separ.
ulcers, which secrete bloody matter. ard are
extremely difficult to heal.
After ozoena has continued for some time the
sense OF smell becomes impaired and often
lost.
Deafness is one of the most common conse.
quences, and results from its extension through
the custodian tube to the internal ear.
Pains in the cad and over the frontal sinuses,
impairing memory, and even insan ~ fire.
qnently springs from its extension to the brain.
The greatest danger, however because the most
common, is that it will extend downward and
affect the lungs In most cases of pulmonary
disease catarrh Is present to some degree, and
in many cases 1t causes large share of the
patients discomfort.
Besides these grave consequences, all of
which are liable to spring from scrofulous
catarrh or ozens, there are others which, ii
less dangerous, are sufficiently unpleasant.
1t occasions great unhappiness to thousands
of both sexes by isolating them and prevent
ing their settlement in life. An offensive rum
ming at the nose, with foul breath, is about
| as great a calamity as can befall young people,

| tressIng and pain full symptoms.
2. The hardened secretions are softened and
removed causing the greatest amount of relief
| to the sufferer.
| 3. The liberated surface is de odorized, every
| unpleas ant smell is removed, and the breath Ia
| restored 10 its natural purity ar d sweetness
A. The poisonous action of the disease upon
| the throat is neutrallzed and arrested and
| threatened consumption averted, and last of all
| a complete and radical cure fully established
B. The applications employed can be made
| at home with perfect success and without in
| reference with diet or business
6. In all cases of catarrh, where the system
suffers from the deleterious effects of scrofula
| or other vitiated condition of the blood, local
| treatm ent is invariably conjoined with consti.
tutiOnal remedies.

| practice can use the remedies at home as we'll
