CATARRH

Catarrh is often regarded by the patient as
a cold in the head, and he often expresses his
astonishment at his remarkable tendency to
contract fresh cold Indeed he declares that
he is scarcely free from one cold before he
takes another, and he is always exceedingly
careful; it is also matter of surprise to him
that the cold always seems to settle in the
head and throat
AT times many of the symptoms of catarrh
seem to abate ana the patient is ie,i 10 hope
that the disease is about to wear off, but an
other class of symptoms soon appear and he
learns TO his horror, that instead of recovery
from the disease, 1t is somewhat changed in its
character and has extended to the throat.
sense of WEAKNESS is sometimes felt in
reading, speaking or singing; hoarseness at
times occurs, a sensation of dryness is felt in
the throat, or 1T appears that some foreign
substance, as for instance, hair, obstructed
the throat; there becomes sense of lan1guor
and fatigue; the breath lessons a little
exertion, short, hacking cough, n peculiar
sound in clearing the throat, a feeling as
though there was not room enough in the
chest to breathe; these and other symptoms
occur after the disease has made considerable
progress. Then it is q time when consumption
is about to begin its dreadful work. Up
to this time. the progress of the disease may
nave been slow and the patient may, in
expressing; his confident hope that it will
"wear off," declare that he has had the catarrh
for years and has not seemed to become much
worse, and trusts that he will "by and by"
recover: But this delusion is the grand error
which has peopled our cemeteries with con-
sumptive forms, all forms of catarrh end
finally in consumption.
