catarrh and Nervousness.

A nervous person nearly always has
catarrh. Oatarrh is n of the ways in
which a depressed condition of the
nervous system shows itself. Catarrhal
people are soon made nervous. The
relation between chronic catarrh and
nervous debility is most intimate.
Catarrh is chronic congestion OF
some membrane. The nerves,
which should guard the mucous mem
brane against congestion, are depress-
ed and their function partly destroyed.
The nerves that should control the cir
culation In the mucous membrane are
called the vasa : motor system Of
nerves. Depression of the general
nervous system soon leads to depres-
sion OF the vasa-motor system. De-
preston OF the vasa-motor system Of
nerves at once causes chronic ca
tarrh.
