IncubatOrs of Catarrhal Bac-

A Disease Resulting in Weak Eyes, Deafness, Offensive Breath, Con-
 sumption and Death.
Effect of Climate, symtoms, Prevention Treatment and Cure by Dr. Mao
 Lehman.

Among the list of chronic diseases which afilict the human frame, catarrh is the most prevalent, most offensive and most productive of discomfort, and of great variety of distress ing and dangerous complications.
 The symptoms of this disease vary according to climate, each climate producing its own form of catarrh. A dry, warm climate, like that of this Territory produces a dry catarrh; while the thick, muco-purilent discharge chsracterizes the catarrh of cold climates.
 The former, which borders on ozana, is the prevailing catarrh of the Territory Persons may be afflicted with 1t for long time before aware of its presence.
 The symptoms are a dryness of the nasal fAs- sages and an irritating tickling sensation in the throat; the breath becomes offensive and dull ness, with slight frontal headaches, is eX- perienced. The person suffering from catarrh does not usually notice any particular offensive ness in his or her own breath, while to a healthy person it is disgusting. This form of catarrh is the most common cause of deafness.
 Frequently nature comes to the rescue and aids sthe sufferer, by opening the pores of the mucous membrane of the nose and throat and irrigating the dry and parched surfaces with secretion derived from the blood.
 Now if the blood of the person is pure, natures effort will remove the irritation and
 
 will only make matters worse and usher in the stage of hawking. The disease then becomes copious and offensive, and if allowed to go un- checked by treatment, will extend by contlnu- ity of surface along the natural air passages to the substance of the lungs, thus causing con sumption and death. In this connection 1t | 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 secretions of the diseased surface. By such 1 air the blood cannot properly be purified and made fit to impart healthy vigor in its unend- | ing circuit to all and every part of the animal mechanism. One would suppose that this con | sideration alone would be sufficient to induce every person afflicted to make early application for relief.
 TREATMENT AND CURE By the system of treatment which Dr. Mac Lehman has adopted and pursued for years with uniform success, a complete and permanent cure of this repulsive disorder can he effected. This he has demonstrated in thousands of cases, representing the disease in every form, and all its various stages of development.
 His applications are made to reach the diseased parts in the most direct and positive manner, instantaneously penetrating every cell and cavity of the head, communicating with the nostrils and subjecting every portion of the membrane to the healing action of the remedy applied with the most beneficial results and causing the least pain or unpleasant sensa- tion.
 So effective is his plan of medication that single application is generally productive of decided relief. The affected cavities are thoroughly cleansed from the encrusted mor- bifc matter, the offensive smell is removed, and relief from other troublesome systems is almost immediately experienced.
 The discharge soon diminishes, irritation is allayed, the inflammation subsidies, alterations heal, the constitution is built up, the patient rapidly gains flesh, and the whole system is re- vitalized, and thus finally radical cure is effected.
