Copyright, 1897, by j. c. Mccoy
In article, "LessonNo. 2, purpose show
ing just wnat class o people are mos sub
Ject TO Catarrh. Even in those sections of
| the country where the majority suffer from
| Catarrh there are always TO be found per-
sons who are never troubled with the
disease. II those who never have Catarrh
! are examined carefully it will be found
That they are persons whose bodily vigor
is above the average and that their par
ents were healthy and that they began
| their lives in the country. 1t is with
Catarrh, as with every other disease, the
weak children are the first to show its
presence. then the weak women. then the
weak men, while the strong children and
the healthy women and the robust men
are not so apt TO suffer from it, This
Is the law Of nature, easily understood
The strong are able to resist. The weak
are unable to resist disease. The strong.
to be sure, have inflamed places made
along their breathing apparatus by colds.
but In these cases these sore spots are
healed by Nature and do not develop into
Catarrh, while in the weaker individual
they do not heal and they are allowed to
run into Catarrh.
Those persons who suffer from scrofula
in any OF its forms are subject to attacks
or Catarfh and so common are scrofulous
persons who suffer from Catarrh that a
great many people look upon Catarrh and
scrofula as being different manifestations
of the same disease.
Those persons who have any taint or
lrnpurity in the blood are subject to yio-
lent forms of Catarrh. Such forms of
Catarrh, whether inherited or acquired ire
more difficult to cure than ordinary cases.
Those who suffer periodic attacks OF
eruptions on the skin are very often sub
ject TO attacks of Catarrh. Some OF them
suffer from Catarrh during the attack of
the skin trouble. while others develop the
Catarrh as soon as the skin trouble passes
away.
Persons of uncleaniy habits, those Iv-
ing In crowded and badly ventila ted apart
ments and those living on improper food
are more subject TO Catarrh than those
whose surroundings and mode OF life are
better
The children OF Catarrh sufferers even
when living under the best surroundings
are very apt to be subject to the disease;
those recovering from long spells OF sick
ness find themselves easy prey TO the
various forms OF Catarrh.
Nearly all old people in this climate
suffer from some form OF Catarrh. While
they might have been able to resist the
disease when they were young, their re-
duced vitality as they grow older allows
the disease to gain fOothold
A typical Catarrh sufferer takes cold
very easily on exposure. The cold is not
cured before another is taken, and the
history OF the average Catarrh sufferer
is long periods during the fall and winter
of repeated colds, followed by severe
Catarrhal symptoms extending into the
spring and only relieved during the
summer Catarrh does not show itself
in the same form in all those who are
subject to the disease. What will cause
in one case Catarrh of the Head and
Throat Will in another cause Catarrh of
the Bronchial Tubes, or it may be Ca
tarrh OF the tube that leads from the
throat to the ear. What would cause in
one case ordinary Catarrh of the Head
may in another case serve to produce
Catarrh of the Stomach or Bowels. or
it may be Catarrh of the Liver Tubes, or
it may be Catarrh OF the Kidney Tubes,
or Catarrh of the Bladder.
