TINS disease. and yet not one person In ten pays
any attention TO this king of health destroyers
and then only after the disease has assumed its
most terrible stage. The disease" SAYS Dr.
Munyon. rs due to a mcro-orGanism, as bacteri-
clogy has demonstrated and fastens itself upon in
hamed mucous surfaces, at first Of anterior and
posterior nasal passages, causing a catarrhal ex-
udation- Colds, of course, the most common
cause OF catarrh. but people born Of scrofuIous
and otherwise weakly parents add greatly to their
predisposition, the microbe will fasten itself

taste and smell become impaired, and I'm conse-
quence many bright prospect in life has and is
being ruined by this dreadful disease As have
said colds the most common causes of catarrh.
When one takes cold in the head, which Is usu-
ally neglected, the mucous membrane becomes in
tanned. and IL the cold is not speedily arrested
the Inflammation becomes chronic in form. 1t Is
at this stage that one contracts catarrhal germs,
which is in turn aggravated by another cold, and
now the catarrhal emulation sets in. 1t may be
at all, which is called dry catarrh.'
The symptoms of acute catarrh are a continual
discharge at the nose, tightness In the head, cory
Ia or watering OF the eyes, slight pains at times
through the head and sometimes q buzzng In the
ears and various other symptoms, according to the
general health Of the individual. If people would
have the disease attended to ut this stage they
would save time and money. well as the ter
rible consequences Of the various chronic forms.

this way soon involves the whole system, causing

Il wish to state emphatically that we positively

which is an exceedingly mild form of treatment
and patients rarely fail to feel benefit after the
first treatment, as our already numerous patients

Of disease in an equally successful manner. such

diseases, asthma, liver, kidney troubles, and
all diseases peculiar to women"
