Ladies and Gentlemen-In the lectures
that have preceded this one we have fo.-
lowed chronic catarrh through the va
rious passages and cavities of the nose,
head and throat: and have finally reached
the lungs. When catarrh reaches the
lungs it becomes what is popu!arly known
as consumption While the catarrh was in
the head it was probably called catarrh.
When it reached the throat however, it
was called by various names. such as tom
siltis pbaryngitis, larynsitis, etc. But as
as we have already learned. it Is the same
old catarrh
When [ tell a patient he has catarrh of
the lungs the same catarrh that he used
to have in the head or throat. it is easy
for him to understand what mean.
But If | tell him he has phthisis or tu-
bercu,oss / have only mystifed him.
CA lady rose to ask: "Does catarrh OF
the head or throat always precede catar?h
of the luugs"'D
1t is my opinion that it does OF course.
there are some cases whore the eXisteH"c
of catarrh had not been suspected before
the consumption developed. But my OK 'e-
r.cnce in this very class Of cases leads M
to believe that a careful examination az
the ease would have revealed the existence
OF catarrh.
As soon as chronic catarrh reaches the
lungs proper. that is to say, the air rs,
it produces in these delicate cells the s1me
condition Of the mucous mombrane that it
produced in the head and throat. The MEM

FEE SITUATION IN TIE SENATE.

PoEEsasSS Unite.
Washington April 11.-The final agree
/ ment among democrats silver republic
cans and nopulists in the senate, look
ing to perfect coalition has been reach
ed at meeting of representatives of
those parties.
The agreement had its origin in an eff
fort to reorganiZe the senate committees,
but it is destined apparently to reach
far beyond this situation, and in fact to
affect the future proceedings of the SEN
ate in all matters. if not to the extent
Of shaping party policies throughout the
country. There were present Senator'S
German, Cockrell, Nalthall, Jones of
Arkansas and Murphy. democrats: Sena-
tors Cannon and Mantle. silver repubii-
cans; Senators Allen and Pettigrew, pop
ulists.
With reference to the matter of the
senate organization it was decided that
the combinat ton should hold out for the
management Of committees and to all
places on committees heretofore held by
democrats, while it was agreed that the
( republicans should have the places here
tofore filed by republicans. This would
give the republicans all the chairman
ships vacated by the retirement OF Sen
ators Cameron, Sherman, Dubois, Nit
chell Of oregon and Brown, but it will
give the combination about eight Vacan-
cies while it allows the republicans only
against making any concessions. even
though they have been allowing the re-
publicans to fill three vacancies in the
committee on appropriations.
The silver republicans say that their
principal incentive in entering the coall-
ton is TO protect the finance committee,
which they feared might become an anti
silver organizat ton in case the republi-
cans were allowed to have their own
way in committee organization.
All intention to Interfere with the pass
age of the tariff bill through the senate
through the coalition of democrats, sill
yer republicans and populists is denied
by the parties to the agreement
The republican senators are not IN
clined to credit the reports of coalition
against them in the senate. and say fuf-
thermore that the committees have no
authority to represent their parties. ana
that the agreement can not be binding.

WESTERN SENATOR'S HAVE UNITED

Tariff Changes, Is ANY. Ezust Slightly
Benefit fi'lscif. States.
Washington, April S.--A number of
western senators, more particularly those
from the Rocky mountain states. have
united in a movement to make sure of
scouting concessions in the tariff bill
which they consider important to that
section Of country.
The articles which the senators have
especially ir view are wool, hides, coal
and lead ores. The tendency is to ask
change in the portion of the wool schedule
which refers to third class woods. The
proba are that there will be q de-
mand for specific instead Of ad valorem
duties Oh >-aol Of this class, and one OF
the western senator's said To-Day tslat he
would not be satisfied with less than
cents per pound on any wool.
There is quite a determnated movement
among the senators for a duty on hides.
The finance committee did not at 1lrst
manifest a disposition to grant this con-
cession but the western senators say
they now find reason to feel encourage
by the outlook. They will probably ask
that the duty be fixed at cents a pound,
but some of them appear willing TO com
promise at IL cents Or / cent.
There was a determined effort to in
crease the rate on lead contained in ore
from cents per pound, as fixed by the
Dingley bill as it passed the house. at
least half a cent and to change the Ian
gtlage of the provisions. This would mean
a return to the Mckinley rate, but the
language of the Wilson bill is considered
preferable to that of either the Mckinley
law or Dingley bill. There VIII be an
effort also on coal and lumber. The Wy
oming and Colorado senators are especial
ly interested in coal: and the Oregon
and Washington senators in lumber.
There are also many smaller items to
which the senators are giving their at
tention Most of them are inclined to fear
that the bill will discriminate against
western interests, and desire to organize
to prevent that result.
