COLD IN THE-HEAD

Is acute Inflammation and swelling of the
Olfactory organ which contains the
Nerves of Smell. This organ Is a long
ribbon-like membrane and hangs from
the roof of the Nasal passage in folds, as
seen in Fig. 8. When this condition be-
comes chronic, or permanent, it is called
CATARRH. The folds become swollen
into solid mass, so the air IN breathing
cannot circulate between them I; hence
the loss of SMELL TheC Catarrhal microbe
soon makes its appearance, causing
multitude of small ulcers between these
folds. The pus from these ulcerc Is very
poisonous and soon impregnates the
whole mucous surface of the nose, hsad
and throat with the disease. Medical
works show cases where the tonslls havs
become corrupt mass of ulcers. 1t not
infrequently involves the whole bronchial
passage to the lungs, causing consump-
ton and death. It will be seen that
nothing can radically cure Catarrh which
does not reach to the seat of the disease
