Prof. J. M. Munyon, in an interview with
a reporter, says: Catarrh is the foundation
of two-thirds Of peoples ailments; hundreds
are treated for nervousness, weak lungs,
dyspepsia constipation, &C., when in reality
their whole trouble originates from catarrh.
Catarrh usually commences in the head, fol-
lowing a cold or the grippe, and is neglected
or badly treated. A person contracts severe
cold in the head which becomes lnflamed
throughout the nasal passages, giving rise TO
such symptoms as profuse discharge at the
nose dry tickling sensation in the throat,
coryza, a tight-feeling in the head, and many
other symptoms, according to the severity OF
the attack and organic weakness OF the in
dividual. Now, if this cold Is neglected or
badly treated, the person living in such cities
as Washington. where the air Is iull OF
catarrhal germs, instead OF pure oxygen or
ozone which ia easily waited over our con-
crete Dayements. such persons become es-
peclaliy susceptible TO catarrh. which soon
develops such symptoms as pain across the
eyes, foul breath, dropping in the throat,
which is dry in the morning on getting up,
more or less discharge at the nose, in which
scabs form and often become sores,
tightness in the head, followed by ringing
in the ears, and deafness. Catarrh, II
left alone or improperly treated, soon
goes to the bronchas tubes, and gives rise to
such troubles as a dry, hacking cough, spit

for certain food, more or less shortness OF
breath on exertion, low spirits, loss OF weight,
irritability. and many other symptoms,
locally and constitutional; this kind of catarrh
is often called consumption of the lungs;
neither is catarrh confined TO the head and
throat il often extending to the stomach,
causing indigestion commonly called dys-
pepsia) constipation, fullness after eating,
dizziness. and weak heart, and not intre-
euently fainting spells, dull, listless, and tired
feeling, nervous and restless, and unable to
sleep at night: this form of catarrh is often
treated for nervousness, when, il the catarrh
condition of the stomach was removed, the
other symptoms would Immediately disappear
catarrhal condition of the liver is often due
to catarrh of stomach, the mucous finding its
way into the bile ducts through the portal
circulation, the symptoms of which vary,
but there is usually jaundiced condition, the
skin is dry, and dark splotches appear on the
face and hands, conjunctiyae of the eyes,
become yellow, and the sight is often blurred.
