CHRONIC CATARRH .

inflammation of the mucous membrane
of the nose, gradually spreading through
the head and down the throat.
Chronic (old) Catarrh (cold), hence
| Chronic Catarrh is an old cold. A per-
son takes cold in the head; in time he
contracts another, which will increase
| the previous attack. In the course of
| time he is conscious Of never being free
| from a cold. Hence, it is remnants of
several colds that generally constitutes
| Chronic Catarrh.
Children take cold during an attack of
Measles, Scarlet Fever, Group, Diph-
liberia or Mumps, which may extend into
| the middle ear, producing running OF the
| ears, and partial or even total deafness
| or it may attack the tonslls, permanent
| ly charging them. The disease may OK
| tend into the larynx and destroy the
| voioe-aphonia, or render it husky for
| life. Finally, it may pass down along
the mucous membrane into the bron-
chial tubes, producing Bronchitis or
Asthma, and may even extend into the
air ce1-sells of the lungs and awaken
Consumption.
Varieties: Humid hypertrophio, sup
curative, and atroDhio catarrh.
Humid catarrh is a common cold,
become chronic with discharges from
the nose and throat. This form is often
called 'follicular pharyngitis.
HyperthroDhio catarrh-The mucous
membrane is tllickened, of grayish-red
appearance, and elastic to the touch. The
discharge is. whitish, stringy and tena-
cious. Sometimes the thickened mucous
the iTritated nerves that it produces very
annoying neuralgia pains or headache,
which cannot be permanently relieved
until the catarrh is cured.
Suppur@tive catarrh-In this form Of
chronic catarrh the expectoration is
greater, and finally becomes profuse,
yellow and tenacious. The quantity of
the discharge from the nostrils and
through the posterior mares is sometimes
enormous.
Atrophio chronic oatarrh (ozena) is
also known as Lucrative, dry and fetld
catarrh, and when the syphilitic or
scrofulous poison is associated with this
disease, it is called syphilitic or sorofu-
lous catarrh.
In this condition the phlegm and mu-
cous become thicker and much more te-
racious than in the other varieties Of ca
tarrh described above, and instead of
being expectorated becomes dry, form
ing scabs or hard Jumps. which causes
atrophy, or thinning of the membrane.
When this form of catarrh is fully devel-
oped it usually causes q green or bloody
discharge, and yet in the majority of
cases of this variety the patient can
breathe fairly well through the nose.
In some cases the disease assumes the
atrophic form at once. Some liBger long

going on from bad to worse, able to work
and apparently enjoy life, until finally
the lungas are suddeA attacked with

RREATMENT.
If the chroafe catarrh of the nose, head
or throat is ofethe humid form, or of a
mild character, take tablespoonful of
Pe-ru-na befofe each meal and at bed
time, and continue it without Interrupt
ton until perfect cure is effected. But
if the disease is of long standing, and
is therefore of hypertroDhio variety ,ror if
there is much hawking or expectoration
suppurative in form take tablespoonful
of La-cu- pi-a before each meal and at
bedtime, and continue to use il without
the least interruption. until six
bottles have been taken. Then discon-
tinue the La-cu-pi-a and take large
tablespoonful of Pe-ru-na before each
meal regularly, and at bedtime, until
perfect recovery has taken place. But,
should the bowels be constipated, q
sufficient dose of Man-a-lin must be
taken as directed on the label of the bot
tie, half an hour after each meal, to
produce one free motion from the bowels
daily. This treatment, if continued a
few months with persistence and regu-
larity, will positively cure every case of
Chronic Catarrh.
In order to avoid any mlsunderstand-
ing, l will illustrate the use of Pe-ru-na
and La-cu-pi-a IN the treatment of
Catarrh by giving, in the language of
patients, cures of the varieties to which
each is applicable.
The first is the Humid variety, for
which Pe-ru-ne is a sure cure:
