scrofulotis and otherwise weakly parents
add greatly to their prcdispositon, as
the microbe will fasten itself upon the
already weak and unhealthy membrane

There arc many children today suffering
from catarrh, and as the disease is not

children are allowed to suffer from one

and severity of the case. Usually there
