Its True Character.
Gatarrh Is Not a Local Disease.

Although physicians have known for years
that catarrh was not local disease but con-
stitutional or blood disorder yet the mass of
the people still continue to believe It is simply
a local trouble and try to cure 1t with purely
local remedies, like powders. snuffs, ointments
and inhalers.
These local remedies, II they accomplish any
thing at all, simply give very temporary
lief and II Is doubtful IL a permanent cure of
catarrh has ever been accomplished by local
sprays, washes and inhalers. They may clear
the mucous membrane from the excessive Sc
erection but II returns in a few hours bad
ever. and the result can hardly be otherwise
because the blood is loaded with catarrhal
poison and Il requires no argument to convince
anyone that local washes and sprays have alb
solutely no effect the blood
Dr. Ainsworth says. II have long since dis
continued the use OF sprays and washes for
catarrh Of head and throat, because they sim
