The Starting Point.
II has been stated above that the original
starting point OF catarrh was Immediately
back of the soft palate AT the junction or the
back portion OF the nose and upper portion OF
the throat. All experienced nose and throat
specialists know this 10 be fact, ana there Is
a pathological reason ior this. The two
mucous surfaces at the bend lie In close con-
tact with each other, and thus collect and con
fine the secretion dropping from the upper and
back part OF the head until they DRY up INTO
little nodules and purify, causing foul odof
and considerable Irritation OF the SURROUNDING
mucous membrane Patients verify this by
constantly hawking and gaggiug 70 dislodge
these secretIons. From tins point the ca
tarrhal Inflammation also often extends down
ward to the respiratory tract, invading the
larnyx, winlUipe, bronchial tubes and the
lungs causing on its way according TO the
parts affected laryngitis with hoarseness OF
partial or complete loss OF voice, bronchlts or
chronic cough, asthma consumption, etc.
Other symptoms.
The alimentary tract, consisting OF the

sion, producing ory aud assured tongue and
mouth, dyspepsia, indigestion, heartburn,
wRterbrash, palpitation, alternate dlarrhoea
and constipation, loss OF flesh, etc, and in con-
sequence OF the denilitated condition OF the
body, a long train Of nervous troubles, such as
an "all gone" feeling trembling OF hands and
limbs, aching over whole BODY, hot and cold
Pushes, dependency, etc, etc.
As catarrn then Is found 10 affect at different
times and IN more or less aggravated and com

body producing in turn q long train OF symp-
toms from the simple local annoyance OF
