To the wsadea ana Unxeddeds
For your senooling 1 here fully de-
tail raeilii disturbances IN the frontal
slDuses. nose, etc.
There are two considerable cavities IN
the frontal bone just above the root VI
the nose. IL you place yopr hand
upon the forehead, between anu
slghtly above The eyebrows. you Will
feel the elevation ia the hone over
these cavities They are very large IN
some persons. The frontal sinuses are
lined by mucous membrane the same
as the nose. and are connected WITH the
nasal cavity by a short duct.
The ignoraHtiy called nasal catarrh

quenlly bloody. In these generations,
analysis is defied, and the foul odor
embilters the lie OF the patient, max
ing intercourse disagreeable and fam
lily relations troublesome.
Next note other cognates OF nasal
disease, viz:
Lipoaia is chronic enlargement OF
the sub-cutaneous and cutaneous struc-
ture OF the nose, presenting peculiar
lobulaled appearance, and has pur-
plish-red color.
Nasal polypii are soft, moist tumors
of a shining grayish color. Their
structure is nearly identical with that
of The mucous membrane, TO which they
are firmly attached. As the polypli
grow they press upon the neighboring
parts and obstruct one or both cavities
OF tie nose. By forcing the breath
through the nostr:ls the polypii are
noticed to descend and recede.
Headache and weakness of eyes are
common results of nasal disease. 1t is
the usual origin OF deafness, by closing
the eusiachian tubes. In many cases
the excretion of bacllli invenes down
the gullet into the stomach, inducing
the most inveterate type of dyspeps'a.
Elongation of the uvula, chrome en-
largement OF the tonsils, false reson-
ance of the voice, bronchitis, cancer OF
the laryrx, paralysis of the epiglottis,
snoring, frightful dreams, paresls,
various forms of insanity, and even
absolute suicide, are oftimes occasloned
by nasal disease. Always, the so-called
nasal catarrh ushers in asthma or pull
monary consumption, should not death
previously occur.
He who visits me for professional
service learns the nature and origin OF
bis nasal malady. Should he submit
to my antidotlng process he is sure to
lose his nasal disease in 20 minutes.
What an achievement IS this, and how
| much better than the blind guesses OF
the so-called practical man!
