disease confined to the head and
nose. Nothing Is farther from
the truth. II may BIO that the nose and
throat Is the oftcncst affected by ca
tarrh. but II this is SO II Is SO only
because these parts are more exposed
to the vicissitudcs Of the climate than
tho other parts OF the body.
Every organ. every duct, every cavity
of the human body Is liable to catarrh.
A multitude Of ailments depend on ca
