CATARRH EXPLAINED.

Ihe mouth, throat, tracnea, DrOn-
chial tubes. stomach, bowels, liyers,
kidneys, bladder, and other pelvic or
gans are lined with a delicate pink
lining called a mucous membrane.
This membrane is composed Of net
work of very small blood-yessels, so
interlaced with each other, like woy-
EN- threads, that they form contin-
uous surface. Every time the heart
beats these little elastic vessels swell
and shrink at each beat. As long a.
the vessels retain their elasticity.
they, like rubber tubes, contract back
to their shape after each throb, but
If they get stretched and Use their
elastic nature they bag out with blood
no longer able to contract to force
the blood along.
ACUTE CATARRH.
When these tender membranes are
exposed to cold too much these YES
sells lose their power to contract:
they become fiabby and bulged out
with blood, which causes a watery
fluid to exude. This is called ''catch-
ing cold" Blu. usually the vessels soon
regain their elasticity, and one gets
over his cold. This is a case Of acute
catarrh.
CHRONIC CATARRH.
Yet, in many cases, these vessels
have been SO severely or frequently
stretched that they remain SO, and
show no tendency to become elastic
again. This is called chronic catarrh.
and is simply a chronic cold. 1t is a
common and dangerous condition, As
it will soon destroy the mucous men,
