Catarrh and Nervousness.

A nervous person nearly always has
catarrh. Catarrh is one of the ways in
which depressed condition Of the ner-
vous system shows itself. Catarrhal
people are soon made nervous. The re-
1ation between chronic catarrh and ner-
vous debility is most intimate.
Catarrh is chronic congestion of some
mucous membrane. The nerves, which
should guard the mucous membrane
against congestion, are depressed and
their function partly destroyed. The
nerves that should control the circula-
ton in the mucous membrane are called
the vasa-motor system Of nerves. De
preston OF the general nervous system
soon leads to depression OF the vasa-
motor system. Depression of the vasa-
motor system OF nerves at once causes
chronic catarrh.
Any remedy 10 effect radical cure
of chronic catarrh must operate directly
