The Plain Truth.

II those persons familiar with the anatomy
OF the upper part OF the throat, tAe back portion
OF the nose, the middle ear and the eye and Its
appendsges, would remember how the same
delicate mucus lining me- n brane enyelops these
organs continuously, and how Inflammation OF
this membrane extends from one part TO nnoth-
eF by what is known 90 physicians IS contlnu-
ity and contiguity OF tissue, they would readily
understand and appreciate how simple conges.
ton or Inflammation starting At It's original
point at the junction OF the back portion OF the
nose and upper part OF the throat. right back
Of the soft palate, extends upwards INTO the
ear through the oustAchisn tube, causing roar
lug. buzZing and ringing noises. partial or
complete deafness. esrache, discharges. etc.
Moving on up o the eye and Its appendices
through the lscnrymal duct it causes the most
intense pain at times, Intolerance TO light
granulated sore lids, conlunotivlt;es, cornltis.
scierotitis. iritis, etc, often ending In severe
liberation and destruction OF the parts.
The starting Point.
It has been stated above that the original
starting point OF catarrh was Immediately
back OF the soft palate At the junction Of the
back portion OF the nose and upper portion u
the throat. All experienced nose and throat
specialists know this to be fact, and there Is
a pathological reason gor this. The two
mucous surfaces at the bend lie in close con-
tact with each other. and thus collect and cor
fine the secretion dropping from the upper ara
back part OF the head until they dry up into
little noduleS and purify, causing 1oul ouor
and considerable irritation or the surrounding
mucous membrane. Patients verify this by
constantly hawking and gagging TO dtslodge
these secretions. From this point the ca
tarrhal Inflammation also often extends down
ward TO the respiratory tract, invading the
larnyx, wndpipe, bronchial tubes aud TIE
lungs, causing on its way, according 10 the
parts affected, lsryngitiS with hoarSeness or
partial or complete loss OF voice, bronchitis or
chronic cough, asthma consumption, etc.
Other symptoms.
The alimentsry tract, consisting OF the
mouth, esophagus, stomach and bowels also
frequently participates in the catarrhal extern.
sion, producing dry aud assured tongue and
mouth, dyspepsia, Indigestion, heartburn,
wsterbrash. pa.pitation, alternate disrrhOea
and constipation, loss OF flesh, etc, and In con-
sequence OF the debilitsted condition OF the
body, a long trsin OF nervous troubles, such rs
an Fall gone" ling. trembling OF haHds and
limbs, aching ar whole body, hot and cold
Pushes, des poudency. etc. etc.
AS catarrh then is found 10 affect at different
times snd in more or less aggravated and COM
plicata1 cases the whole mucous tract OF the
body, producing in turn long train OF symp-
toms, from the simple local annoyance OF
