condition of the nervous membranes of
the nose and throat so nearly resem-

identical. Also chronic disease which
depress the system will produce the

They cause a, feshy, pale condition OF
the mucous surfaces, with a sticky,
stringy mucous secretion, which pro-
duces much hawking or coughing, gen.

trouble is caused by nervous depress-

Besides the usual symptoms Of
catarrh, the patient has brown specks

ache, palpitation of the heart. flashes
of heat, followed by slight chilly sensa-
