The Starting Point.
II has been stated above that the original
startine point Of catarrh was Immediately
back OF the soft palate AT the Junction OF the
back portion OF the nose and upper portion OF
the throat. All experienced nose and throat
specialists know this TO be fact, ana there Is
a pathological reason Tor 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 ano
back part of the head until they dry up mo
little nodules and purify, causing foul door
and considerable irritation OF the surrounding
mucous membrane. Patients verify this oy
constantly hawking and gSgglng to dislooge
these secretions. From this point the ca
tarrhal Inflammation also often extends down
ward to the respiratory tract, invading the
larnyx windpipe. bronchial tubes and the
lungs causing on its way, according 70 the
parts affected, laryngitiS with hoarseness OF
partial OF complete loss OF voice, bronchitis or
chronic cough, asthma consumption, etc.
Other Symptoms.
The alimentary tract, consisting OF the
mouth. esophagus, stomach and bowels also
frequently participates in the catarrhal eIten.
sion. producing dry and assured tongue and
mouth. dyspepsia, Indigestion, heartburn,
waterbrash palpitation, alternate dlarrhoea
and constellation loss OF flesh, etc, and in con-
seqlence OF the deollitated condition OF the
BODY a long train OF nervous troubles, such rs
an 'sll gone" feeling trembling OF hands and
limbs. aching over whole body, hot ana cold
nushes, dependency, etc, etc.
AS catarrh then is found to affect at dlnerent
times and in more or less aggravated ana con-
plicated cases the whole mucous tract OF the
body producing in turn a long train OF symp'
toms from the simple local annoyance or a
stopped up condition Of the nostrils TO the com
plets breaking down OF the system as IN con-
sumption or utter nervous prostratlon from
general debility, the futllity Of any other meth
Cd OF treatment than combined local and In
ternal one is apparent. This IS the method OF
treatment DR.. Copeland and his associates have
used for years and the large army OF grateful
patients they have raised up tesJlnes TO It's cur
alive results.
