Olfactory organ which contains the
Nerves Of Smell. This organ is long
ribbon-like membrane and hangs from
the roof of the Nasal passage In folds, as
seen in Fig. q When this condition be.
comes chronic, or permanent, it ia called
CATARRH. Tho folds become swollen
into solid mass, SO the air in breathing
cannot circulate between them hence
the loss Of smell. The Catarrhal microbe
soon makes its appearance, causing
multitude Of small ulcers between these
folds. The pus from these ulcers is very
poisonous and soon impregnates, tho
whole mucous surface Of the nose, head
and throat with the disease. Medical
works show cases where the tonsils have
become a corrupt mass Of ulcers. It, not
infrequently involves thewhole bronchial
passage to the lungs, causing consump.
ton and death. It will be seen that
nothing can radically cure Catarrh which
docs not reach to the scat Of tho disease
between these folds of the Olfactory
organ, and cleanse and heal these ulcers.

immature that will accomplish this result.

person is disposed to solicit the .Mva-

combination of visionantes Socialists.
Debsltes, Bellamyites and Adnllanll,ss.
1t would give the state a species of no
toTiety which lit is at present anxious to
avoid. The failure of she scheme could
safely be predicted before it was fairly
installed
"No one in Washington appears to
have very clear notion of the precise
nature of the plans of the ccoortcts,
and i'm this respect we are. it is prob

some way THAT the state is exceedingly

lot for the state to contribute to the
