COLD IN THEHEAD

q acute Inflammation and swelling Of the
Oifactory 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. 3. When this condition be.
comes chronic, or permanent, 1t Is called
CATARRH. The 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 a
multitude of small ulcers between these
folds. The pus from these ulcerc is very
poisonous and soon impregn&tes the
whole mucous surface of the nose, hsad
and throat with the disease. Medical
works show cases where the tonsIls have
become corrupt mass OF ulcers. 1t 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
does not reach TO the seat of the disease
between these folds of the Olsactory
organ, and cleanse and heal these ulcers.
BRAZILIAN BALM is the only known remedy
IN nature that viii accomplish this result.

Where once the grass grew green ana sweet, The worlds fierce pulses beat. Well for the highway that 1t lies The passageway of great emprise! Yet from It's dust what voices cry Voices of soft green growing things Trampled and torn from earth which

 Too closely, unperceiving why , Its darling bairns must die! My hearts a highway, trodden down By many traveller of renown-
 Grave thought, and burden-bearing

 And strong achievements envoy fares, With laughing joys and crowning cares. Along the road that worldward leads
 Once rank with foolish weeds. Glad Is my heart to hear them pass; Yet sometimes breathes low alas! The tender springing things that grew The nursling hopes their feet destroyed, Sweet ignorant dreams that youth en.
 joyed-
 And blossomed there the long year through
 Would could have them too! --Louise Betts Edwards. in Harpers Maga. ! zine.
