CATARRH.
Symptoms, Effects, Treatment and
Cure by Or. Darrin at Hotel
Gail, Dallas.

is the most prevalent, most offensive,
most productive of discomfort and a
variety of distressing and dangerous
complications. Its earliest and most
prominent symptom is discharge
from the head, varying in its nature
in different cases, and even in the
same individual at different times. It
may be a thin, colorless fluid, or of
glairy, starchlike substance Gener-
ally, however, it is thick, purulent, or
muco-purulent matter, either ash-col-
ored or of deep green tint OCCASION
ally streaked or fiecked with blood.
SO copious and offensive is the dis
charge in many cases that patients
express the belief that their heads are
zone mass of corruption.
Hawking.
Much of the discharge passes back
ward, either dropping in the throat or
collecting as tough, viscid, tenacious
phlegm behind and above the soft
palate to the passage between the
throat and the head. Its lodgment
respiration and creates a
constant and irresistible desire to re-
lieve the discomfort by drawing the
offensive substance into the throat by
a loud Installation through the nose,
so as then to be able to eject it by
disagreeable hawking.
Fatal Effects OF Catarrh.
The swallowing of catarrhal secre-
tions deranges the function of the
stomach, causing indigestion, loss of
appetite and health, Debility, pale
ness, lassitude, headache and dis
turbance of mind soon follow. In some
instances the mental affection is one
of irritability; the patient being un-
duly annoyed by all the perplexities
of life, In others the prominent feel
ing is that melancholy, depression of
spirits, when the invalid can see no
hope in the future for himself or his
affairs. Catarrhal deafness is almost
sure to result in a majority of cases.
Offensive Breath.
In the most advanced stages the dis
charges are generally Of an offensive
odor, causing great annoyance to
ones friends and the patient himself
while the sense of smell remains.
This annoyance from the odor becomes
almost beyond endurance, more es-
pecially when the disease assumes the
form of ozaena, and the delicate bones
of the nose become diseased.
Deformlty of the Nose.
In cases where the bones of the nose
become diseased not only is the often
siveness of the%breath greatly in
creased, but there is liability to
serious personal deformities, among
which are fiattening of the nose.
Consumption and Death.
Catarrh Affections, unchecked by
treatment, are prone to extend by con-
tinuity Of surface along the natural
air passages to the substance Of the
lung, thus causing consumption and
death. In this connection it should
also be remembered that the air which
enters the lungs Of a catarrhal patient
is every breath Of it poisoned by the
foul secretions of the diseased surface.
By such air the blood cannot be
properly purified and made fiji to inn
part healthy Yigor in its mending cir
cult to all and every part of the animal
mechanism. One would suppose that
this consideration alone would be
sufficient to induce every person thus
afflicted to make early application for
relief.
Treatment and Cure.
BY the medicinal and electric system
of treatment which Dr. Darrin has
adopted and pursued for years with
uniform success, complete and
permanent cure of this repulsive dis
order can be effected Thus he has
demonstrated in thousands of cases,
representing the disease in every form
and all its various stages of develop
ment that his applications are made
to reach the diseased parts in the most
direct and positive manner, instan-
taneously penetrating every cell and
cavity of the head, communicating
with the nostrils, and subjecting every
portion of the membrane to the heal
ing action of the remedy employed,
without cansing the least pain or un-
pleasant sensation. The affected cav
tiles are thoroughly cleansed from in
crusted morbific matter, the offensive
smell is removed and relief from other
troublesome symptoms is almost inn
mediately experienced. The discharge
soon diminishes, irritation is allayed,
the Inflammation subsidies, alterations
are made to heal, and finally radical
and permanent cure is effected.
Numerous testimonials have ap-
peared in this paper during the past
few weeks from those who thought
they owed it TO the doctor, as we'll as
hundreds Of like sufferers, to speak OF
the good work that has been done for
them. DR.. Darrin will be at the Hotel
Gail Dallas, until December T.
