AFFIICTIONS
NOSE AND THROAT

Diseases of the mucous membrane,
when of Nose or Throat, causes not only
great annoyance by affecting respira-
ton, articulation, scent and taste, but
spreading, they make watery eyes, blur
the vision, take In the sense of hearing,
and, reaching the bronchial tubes, attack
the lungs themselves. Catarrh is a NAL
ady fearful III its results. Commencing
with a stopping up of the nasal passages
or a sore throat, 1t goes on developing
often into consumption, or fatally in
vOlvlng the most vital parts of the body.
The mucous membrane. anatOinically
considered, is almost identical with the
skin, and subject TO the same diseases.
Scrofula, eczema, syphilis, and nearly
every other skin disorder, is liable to
affect il.
Many diseases treated by incompetent
practitioners as Catarrh have no rela-
ton to that trouble, but are as annoy
ing and dangerous as Catarrh itself.
Among them are syphilitic affections of
the nasal passages, Ozena, nasal alb
scesses, tulnors of the frontal sinus, and
polypus, and fungus, granular and cry
sipllitis affections of the throat. Each
of these diseases require separate and
distinct treatment. Many persons arc
this day suffering and growing worse
from IL mistaken diagnosis and from
wrongly prescribed remedies. Catarrh.
as we'll as the other diseases, hidden as
they are in the remote recesses of the
nose and throat, have baffled the skill of
many a family ply stefan, who are will
ing now, as they should be, to leave
these particular disorders to the exclu-
sive care, superior skill and larger prac-
teal experience of the successful Nose
and Throat Specialist. Medical science
offers q vast field for investigation, and
no physician can, within the brief limits
of n lifetime, accomplish the highest
degree of success in the treatment of
EVERY malady incident to humanity.
"a physician who would know every
thing must be profoundly ignorant of
many things"
DR.. Barker, from Cincinnati, now of
this city, d graduate of the best Medical
Institutes both OF this country and Eu-
rope decided. twenty-five years ago, to
devote his life TO the investigation and
to the treatment of diseases affecting
Nose and Throat, together with the Eye
and Ear. Since t~hen-during all these
years he has pursued his studies and
practiced his well-chosen profession
with untiring zeal and marked success.
He stands unrivaled in correctness of
diagnosis. He can and does cure all af-
fections of Nose and Throat undertaken,
and he is second TO one in the number
of patients restored To health. whose
cases had been, by other physicians,
given mp as incurable. There are no
electrodes in his practice. no escharotics,
acids, or cauteries, nor red hot wires ap-
piled To the closed nOstrils. nor caustics
of any kind to burn out and destroy the
mucous membrane of the nose or throat.
His methods are scientific. mild and
almost painless. as thousands of testI-
monials 10 this effect can be seen in his
office of grateful patients whom he has
cured. Go and see the Doctor. His
consultations are free and invited. and
his terms of treatment within reach of
all.
