Ii we are going 10 cure nasal catarrh
and other respiratory difficulties, the
respiratory tract being freed OF all OBJ
structions and irritable areas. the pa
tient must be taught to breathe nor-
mally.
Irritable areas are not always de-
tected by the probe; therefore we can
not depend upon that method, Y
must note that these patches have q
characteristic appearance. They are
| found not only In the nose. but often
times III the nasopharynx and pharynx
as well and are OF a pale. waterloggeu
appearance. They may be obliterated
surgically or BY cauterization, and Il

said for all hypertrophic removals. To
bring about a permanent patency OF
the eustachinn tube the individual must
become a nasal breather. Therefore II
IL absolutely essential to overcome or
