Catarrh has become such common
disease that person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
with. 1t is customary to speak OF Catarrh
as nothing more serious than bad cold,
a simple Inflammation of the nose and
throat. 1t is, in fact, complicated and
very dangerous disease; if not at first, 1t
very soon becomes SO.
The blood is quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions, and the poison through
the general circulation is carried to all
parts of the system.
