Chronic Cdtdrrh.

This term is applied to low form of in
fiamation 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 person
takes cold in the head; In time he con-
tracts another, which will increase the pre-
vi.us attack. In the course of time he is
conscious of never being free from cold.
Hence, it is remnants of several colds that
generally constitutes Chronic Catarrh.
Children take cold during an attack of
Measles, Scarlet Fever, Group, Diphtheria
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 tonsils, permanently enlarging
them. The disease may extend into the
larynx and destroy the vOice-aphonia, or
render it husky for life. Finally, it may
pass down along the mucuous membrane in
to the bronchial tubes, producing Bronchitis
or Asthma, and may even extend into the
ar-cels of the lungs and awaken Consump-
ton.
VARIETIES HypertrOphic, Sup
perative, and AtrOphic Catarrh.
HUMID CATARRH is common Geld, be-
come chronic with discharges from the nose
and threat. This form is often called Fol-
licular Pharyngitis.
~ A no mi
membrane is thickened, of grayish-red APP
pearance and elastic to the touch. The dis
charge is whitish, stringy and tenacious.
Sometimes the thickened mucous membrane
exercises so much pressure on the irritated
nerves that it produces very annoying neu-
ralgic pains or headache, which cannot be
permanently relieved until the Catarah is
cured.
SUPPERATIvE CATARRH. In this form
of Chronic Catarrh the exploration is greater
and finally becomes profuse, yellow and
tenacious. The quantity of the discharge
from the nostrils and through the posterior
mare is something enormous.
ATHRoPHIC CHRONIC CATARRH (oz9na)
is also, known as Lucrative, Dry and Fetid
Catarrh, and when the syphllitic or scroful-
GUS poison is associated with this disease it
is called Syphilitic or Scrofulous Catarrh.
In this condition the phlegm and mucous
become thicker and much more tenacious
than in the other varities of Catarrh de-
scribed above, and instead of being expec-
torated, becomes dry, forming scabs or hard
Jumps, which cause Atrophy, or thinning
of the membrane. When this form of
Catarh is fully developed it usually causes
green or bloody discharge, and yet in the
majority of cases of this variety the patient
can breathe fairly well through the nose.
G In some cases the disease assumes the
Atrophic form at once. Some linger long
with this lOathesome Lucrative Catarrh,
going on from bad TO worse, able to work
and apparently enjoy life, until finally the
lungs are suddenly attacked with Galloping
Consumption.
Catarrh is the most prevalent, the most
productive of discomfort, and the most
tressing complications of all chronic dis
eases.
When catarrh extends to the bronchial
tubes it soon produces shOrtness of breath
and palpitaton of the heart on slight exer-
ton.
Again in the same manner, the disease
extends down the mucous membrane of the
esophagus to the stomach, causing Ind-
gestion, Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint and
sympathetic arrangement of the heart.
Treatment.
If the. Chronic Catarrh of the nose, head
or throat is of the Humid form, or Of a mild
character, take tablespoonful of Pe-ru-na
before each meal and at bedtime, and con-
tinue it without the least interruption until
a perfect cure is effected. But il the dis
ease is of long standing, and is therefore of
Hypertrophic variety, or If there is mach
hawking or ctoratiOn-supperative in
form-take tablespoonful of La-cu-pi-a
before each meal and at bedtime, and con-
tinue to use it without the leyst interruption
until six bottles have been taken. Then
discontinue the Lu-cu-pi-a and take large
spoonful of Pe-ru-na before each meal regu-
larry, and at bedtime, until perfect recovery
has taken place. But, should the bowels
he constipated, sufficient donse of mama
lin must be taken as directed on the label
of the bottle, half an hour after each meal,
to produce one free motion from the bowels
daily. This treatment, if continued few
months with persistence and regularity,
will positively cure every case of Chronic
Catarrh.
| In order to avoid vny misunderstanding
| / will, illustrate the use of Pe-ru-na and La
cupia in the treatment of Catarrh by giving,
in the language of patients, cures of the
varieties to which each is applicable
The first is of the Humid variety, fol
which Pe-ru-na is a sure cure:
