AS result of the changeable climate,
, catarrh has become one of the most
prevalent and universal diseases known
, TO man. Nearly one third of the people
, of the United States are afflicted with
catarrh in some of its many phases and
stages. Add to this the fact that catarrh
rapidly tends to become fixed or chronic,
also the further fact that it is capable
of producing great many other dis
eases, and we begin to realize the true
nature of this dread disease
So formidable has catarrh become
that in every city or town of any size
numerous doctors are to be found who
make the treatment of catarrh a spe-
cialty. OF course great deal of good
, is accomplished in this way, but as yet.
, comparatively small number of the
people can avail themselves of this treat
, ment because of the great expense neces-
sarily attached toit.
