BY Treating Catarrh.


We publish this week the case of Mr.. W. Kelly.
Of sIs L street southeast. This case is striking
example of the serious results that may and
frequently do follow neglected catarrh. II ex-
emplifes what Doctor Cowden has been urging
upon the people, and that is, the early treatment
Of catarrh thereby preventing the very serious
results which otherwise are quite sure to happen
