ulcerat1on has eaten through the membrane
lining OF the nose to the cartilage of the bone.
most frequently occurs in those who are
naturally kcrofnlous. The discharge takes
place through the nostrils or through the
gre enlshyellow cOlor frequently tinged with
blood, and almost always attended with an
o1e9s1Ye smell. In the language OF Dr. Wood,
OF fhlladelphia, the disease is the most obdur-
ate ana dlsagreeable which the ply sician has
10 encounter. In bad cases the breath of the
from society, and render him an object of us
gust even to himself
In some asses pieces of bone. become separ-
ulcers, which secrete = bloody matter. al 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 eustachian tube to the internal ear.
Pains in the head and over the frontal sinuses,
1mpa1ring memory, and even insanity fire.
quently springs from its extension to the brain.
The greatest danse however, because the most
common is that 1t will extend downward and
affect the lungs In most cases of pulmonary
disease catarrh is present to some degree, and
in many cases it causes large share of the
patients discomfort
Besides these grave consequences, all of
which are liable to spring from scroiulous
catarrh or oz9na, there are others which, if
less dangerous, are sufficiently unpleasant.
1t occasions great unhappiness TO thousands
of both sexes by isolGtihg them and prevent
ing their settlement in life. An offensive run
| ming at the nose, with foul breath is about
as great a calamity rs can befall young people
Every disease of thi. kind can be cured by our
new system of practice.
The following are the distinguishing features
of our mode of treatment.

| removed causing the greatest amount of relief
| to the sufferer.
3. The liberated surface Is de odorized, every
unpleas ant smell is removs d, and the breath is
restored TO its natural purity and sweetness.

| threatened consumption averted, and last of all
a complete and radical cure fully established.

suffers from the deleterious effects of scrofula
