SUMNER THE TIME TO CURE
CATARRH, HAY FEVER, ASTHMA, BRON-
CHITIS AND DEAFNESS.

II DR.. Ramsey were asked what medical
teaching would accomplish the greatest
good he would unhesitatingly say:
The lesson to those with enfeebled consti-
tutions, Weak lungs. or tendency to Bron-
chial Trouble or Consumption, of the vital
opportunities that summer offers them.
The best teaching Is the teaching that
will save the most lives.
And this lesson to those with the slightest
predisposition to Consumption will save
more lives than any that could be taught.
In the summer Catarrh NAV be more
speedily cured: with nature helping The
work, the result is more certain; after the
cure, the constitution resumes its normal
condition more quickly; those so feeble
that they should not even expose them
selves to the weather during the winter
may visit the offices, and are helped in the
progress of treatment, rather than injured
by exposure to out door air.
This is what the opportunity of the sum-
mer months means.
Indeed, with many of the more serious
cases-where long-neglected Catarrhal dis
ease invading the Bronchial Tubes, which
convey the air to the lungs, has taken its
final advance into the tissues of the lungs
lined with the mucous membrane upon
which 1t lives and feeds, and finding no new
tissue, settles down to feed upon the lung
treatment during the spring and summer
months is the only hope. Little, If any help
can be promised them during the winter.
1t Is then during the summer that Catarrh
is in its early stages, involving maybe the
nasal passages and throat and vocal cords
and windptpe, may be most speedily cured
and the danger OF its extension into the
deeper part of the Bronchial Tubes or Lungs
averted.
1t is then only during the summer months
that those more desperate cases involving
the lungs themselves may be treated with
any hope.
