diseased and are unable to perform their
work, the food taken into the stomach will
not be digested, but will lie there and fer
ment and generate gases and become q fruit
full source of disease.
If the reader will now look at the above
illustration, it will scarcely be necessary to
most every case of nasal catarrh there is an
unusual discharge OF mucus. This mucuS
falls back into the throat and there is a con-
stant effort to throw 1t out In the night.
however, when the patient is asleep, this
mucus finds its way easily and naturally
down the oesophagus to the stomach. The
same mucus membrane that lines the cavi-
ties of the nose extends over pharynx, and
all parts of the throat, down the oesophagus
and covers the inner wall of the stomacb.
1t also extends to the intestines. Wherever
this mucus goes it carries poison, inf1amma-
tion, disease, with it. Spreading over the
inner walls of the stomach the gastric
follicles soon become diseased and depraved,
and do not perform their work. Food taken
into the stomach, especially in the morning,
cannot come in contact with the gastric
juice, because the stomach walls are covered
with this Shiny nucus. As a result the food
does not digest. but lies there and ferments,
heavy as lead, producing poisonous gases,
which cause the bloated feeling and belch-
ing.
This process does not continue long until
there is produced a chronic gastritis. or
catarrh of the stomach, which requires
long, careful and persistent treatment to
cure, and which, in Iact never will be cured
without going to the fountain head and cur
ing the ca use of it, the nasal catarrh.
The same process extending to the intes-
tines, causes chronic SDtero-colitis, or ca
tarrh of the bowels, still more dangerous
and difficult to cure.
Here we find an explanation of many
symptoms which seem to have no connec-
ton with nasal catarrh, but which do assur-
edly and naturally follow in its wake as
stomach is d1stended with gas and crowds
upon the diaphragm, encroaching upon the
heart. causing huttering and palpitation,
pressing upon the lungs and interfering
with respiration, often causing shortness OF
breath, and by this pressure on heart and
lungs disturbing circulation and causing
cold extremities, hot and cold flashes, de-
preston of spirits, dizziness, feeble pulse,
nervousness, peculiar, indescribable sensa-
tions.
For the treatment and cure of all these
troubles Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers be-
lieve they Lave adopted the only correct
and scientific method, and the large meas
ure of success which they have attained
bears them out. Remove the exciting cause
and the disease will disappear.
In this connection it is not out of place to
again bring to the notice of the public the
notable cases of MI. O'Donnell and Mrs. Zol-
Iinger. published sometime ago, as typical
o. this affliction, and showing the happy re-
suits produced by modern methods OF treat
ment as practiced by Drs. Copeland, Hall
and Byers. These two patients had been
dosed, drugged and tortured by drastic med
icines until they shuddered at the sight of
1t, but now are healthy and happy, thanks to
the physicians who were enterprising
enough to discard old-fashioned methods
and have the energy to study and discover
new forces in therapeutics.
