1t is popular impression that cat
aFFh IS a dsesse confined 10 the nu-
cons membranes Inning the nose, lhroAl
and bronchial tubes, and other OF the
respiratory organs. OF late years cat
arm Ut the stomach, aud even OF the
bowels, is sometimes mentioned. Tie
real fact Is that all mucous membranes.
wherever located, are subject 10 cStSrfh.
aud unless recognized aad properly
treated chronic ailments are sure 10
follow.
CATARRH OF URINARY ORGANS.
The urinary and sexual organs of
both sexes have for their lining a del
lcate mucous membrane lining which rs
exposed 70 many vieiss.tudes, caicu-
lated % cause catarrhal infammat Oh
OF these organs. To those who are ac-
quainted with these facts Il Is 10 sup
PRISE 10 learn that at least One-fOurtn
OF the human family have either slight
or serous arrangements OF these organs,
which are, without doubt, moth
ing less than catarrh, and the only rea-
son the true nature of their troubles Is
not suspected Is the general supp0ation
that catarrh does not affect these parts.
cATARRH OF BLADDER AND KIDNEYS.
No organ OF The whole body is more
frequently affected by catarrh than the
bladder, which is sometimes 50 severe as
to excite great suffering and alarm,
and again SO light as to scarcely at
tract any notice. The symptoms OF
catarrh of the bladder are: frequent
desire 10 void urine, which is generally
scant in quantity and highly coiOred
with a thick white or slightly pinklsh
sediment. If this affection Is not
promptly treated the catarrhal lnilam-
nation is liable to follow the ureters TO
the kidneys and set up catarrh of these
organs, which almost always is mistaken
for chronic Bright's disease of the kid
news. AS soon as the kidneys are
reached by the catarrh, pain in the
back and Il general feeling of lassltude
and weakness is noticed. The catarrh
Of the kidneys may beso pronounced as
to cause q condition quite similar to
/ BTights disease, giving rise TO bloody
urine or very light colored urine in
great quantities; or it may be so light
that no attention is paid to it..
cATARRH OF URETHRA.
Catarrh of the bladder is also liable
/ TO extend dOWnWards through the ure-
thra or urinary passage. This will soon
cause smarting, and sometimes difficulty
in yoiding urine. I'm females the ex-
| tension of the catarrhal disease is GER
| tain to involve the vagina and uterus,
| producing leucorrhea, painful menstru-
alton, and 'bearing-down pains.
SYMPTOMS.
Thus it is that catarrh Of the urinary
J and sexual organs is able 10 produce
| pain and weakdess in the back, scanty,
/ high-cOlOred urine, frequent urlnauOn
night and day, a constant, tlred-Out
| feeling, cold feet and legs, chafing and
smartsng. dragging and pulling sensa-
| tons in the lower part OF abdomen and
across the hips, and many other dIsa-
! greeable symptoms. Scores of people
/ SD afflicted never suspect that the cause
/ of all their trouble is catarrh. They
/ often continue TO doctor, year after
/ year, without getting any relief, because
/ the true cause is not known. Their
! disease Is called gravel, or weakness Of
| the kidneys, or gleet, or female weak
ness which mistaken notions leads them
/ 70 follow wrong treatment. All persons
afflicted with any of the above symp-
/ toms should suspect catarrh as the
cause, especially If they are subject 10
catarrh OF the head or throat, and be
/ gin treatment accordingly. 4 great
\ many cases of spasmod.c structure and
enlarged prostate are due solely To cat
+ arrhal irritation, and would cease If
the catarrh was properly treated.
