or a glairy, starch like substance.
Generally, however, it is thick, pur-
ulent or mucopurulent matter, either
ash-colored, greenish-yellow, or of
deep green tint, occasionally streaked
or fecked with blood. So copious
and offensive is the discharge in many
cases that patients express the belief
that their heads are one mass of cor
ruption."
HAWKING"
Much of the discharge passes back
ward, either dropping in the throat or
as tough, viscid, tenacious
phlegm, behind and above the soft
palate to the passage between the
throat and head. Its lodgment en-
barrasses respiration and creates a
constant and irresistible desire to re-
lieve the discomfort by drawing the
offensive substance into the throat by
a loud insuffiation through the nose,
so as then to be able to eject it by a
disagreeable "hawking."
OFFENSIVE BREATH.
In the more advanced stages the
discharges are generally of an often
sive OdOr, causing great annoyance to
ones friends and to the patient him.
self, while his sense of smell remains.
This annoyance from the odor be-
comes almost beyond endurance, es-
pecially when the disease assumes
the form of oz@na, and the delicate
bones of the nose becomes diseased.
DEEoRMITY OF THE NOSE.
In cases where the bones of the
nose become diseased, not only is the
offensiveness of the breath greatly
increased, but there is a liability to
serious personal deformities, among
which are flattening of the nose.
BAD EFFECTS OF CATARRH.
The swallowing of catarrhal secre-
tions deranges the functions of the
stomach, causing indigestion and loss
of appetite and health. Debility pale
ness, lassitude, headache and disturb
ance of mind soon follow. In some
instances the mental affection is one
of irritability, the patient being un-
duly annoyed by all the little perplex-
tiles of life. In others the prominent
feeling is that Of melancholy or de
preston OF spirits, when the invalid
can see no hope in the future for him
self or his affairs. Catarrhal deafness
is almost sure to follow in a majority
of cases.
CONSUMPTION AND DEATH.
Catarrhal affections, unchecked by
treatment, are prone to extend by con-
tinuity of surface along the natural
air passages to the substance of the
lungs, thus causing consumption and
death. In this connection it should
also be remembered that the air
which enters the lungs of a catarrhal
patient is, every breath of it, poisoned
by exhalations from the foul secre-
tions, of the diseased surface. By
such air the blood cannot be properly
purified, and made fit to impart
healthy vigor in its unending circuit
to all and every part of the animal
mechanism. One would suppose that
that this consideration alone would be
sufficient to induce every person thus
afflicted, TO make early application for
relief.
TREATMENT AND CURE.
By the medical and electric system
of treatment, which Drs. Darrin have
adopted and pursued for years with
uniform success, complete and per-
manent cure of this repulsive disorder
can be effected. This they have dem

resenting the disease in every form
and all its various stages of develop
ment. Their applications are made
to reach the diseased parts in the
most direct and positive manner, in
simultaneously penetrating every cell
and cavity of the head, communi-
eating with the nostrils, and subject
ing every portion of the membrane
to the healing action of the remedy
employed, with the most beneficial re-
suit, and without causing the least
pain or unpleasant sensation. The
affected cavities are thoroughly
cleansed from the incrustic morbilic
matter, the offensive smell is re-
moved and relief from other trouble
some symptoms is almost immediately
experienced The discharge soon
diminishes irritation is allayed, the
inflammation subsidies, alterations are
made to heal, and finally a radical and
permanent cure is effected.
TERMS FOR TREATMENT.
Invariably in advance. When hun
dreds land many of them living a days
journey or more from the city, call Oh
the doctors every day, it would be i'm.
possible to do a trust business with
some, and do justice by all. The doc,
tors have therefore decided to adhere
strictly TO the advance payment sys
tenn, as the only true way of practic
ing their profession with the least pos.
sible trouble to themselves and
patients. All should therefore note
this in contemplating a visit to them
There Iterms of treatment, however
are so'low as to be within the reach
of all, and are made according to the
time or number of treatments required.
The only difference between Drs
Darrin's terms and other physicians is
that the former are in advance, while
the other is surely due very soon after
whether a cure has been effected OF
not.
None will please call for speculation
or idle curiosity, as hundreds are com

doctors. This might, to great ex
