Catarrh. and even those who breathe In the Con-
sumption germs the and innamed places
made by the Catarrh. do not contract consumption
for in some instances the systems OF such persons
succeed In throwing OF the germs refusing 20 al
low them 10 enter the blood. They succeed in re-
fusing admission to the germs ON account of their
strength and vitality. Granting all this. IL siIl
not safe thing to tempt the disease
system. because every one with place madn
by Catarra is In danger OF acquiring Tui,crrular
Consumption In the way that have mentioned
While all persons who bitten by a mad dog
do not have hydroIhobia. statistics showing that
only ont OF every three bitten ever 60
mad at all; stil few would risk bsIag hit
ten by rIbid dog because they happen 10 know
that all who are bitten do not GO mad. and Con
. sumption in the form known Tubcrru,r Con-
sumption rs as dangerous and horrible In its de-
velopm, mt and extension the form Of Hy-
drophobia Ii Is worse. because the suffering In
dnces lie prolonged over 4 greater length OF tim.
than the suffering produced by the bite OF a rabid
dog.
1t is very true. I have said. that Catarrh does
not cause all Of Consumption. II is also very
true that all those who have developed Co,stmp-
tion have been subject Caiarrh at some period
In their lives. All Consumptiv.s victims of
Catarrh. They took cold easily. and WHERE tho
Catarrhal affection did itself produce the Con
sumption. 1t will be discovered close inresiiga
tion that 1T prepared the way for II.
While no intelligent self respecting Doctor to-

Catarrhal character. still. IL the history every
case OF Consumption was written IL would he
found TO consist Of the story OF frequent colds that
were left uncured: colds that did not get well
themselves colds that came every spring and got
better in the summer. but came back worse I'm the
fall and winter: colds that were followed by Ca
tarrilal symptoms dischargng Dose. and In
famed throat. hawking of mucas. with coughing
and splitting. As is well known. the fatal form OF
Consumption so common in our midst is due 10 the
entrance into the blood of Tubercle Bacillus which
settles i'm the lungs and sets up lung disease.
The Consumption germs cannot enter the blood
OF oae whose bodily health Is perfect the sys-
tenn Of one whose blood is rich aud pure. unless
there should be present In the part n broken. sore
or discharging spot where the Consumption germs
may lodge and enter the system. Catarrh forms
just such broken places.
The expelled air OF Consumptive frequ-Htly
contains the seeds Of the disease. The material
which C0nsunptives cough up also contain these
germs, which, after having dried In the air, are
blown around and inhaled by other persons
1t is seen at that those who live In a Sec
tion where Consumption is prevalent should he

high standard and never allow themselves have

sumptive germs may gain admission TO tie system
The most potent element that can he used 10 ban

that makes the development OF Consumption pos
sible.
