The people generally are very much
misinformed as to the nature of catafrh.
Catarrh is usually believed to be con-
aned to the head, nose and throat. Lat
terly we sometimes hear Of catarrh OF
the stomach and catarrh Of the bladder.
Seldom, IL ever, do we hear Of catarrh Of
any other organs. ;
It is not because these organs are not
subject to catarrh, nor That catarrh OF
these organs is not very common dis
ease, but simply because it is not gener-
ally known that affections OF these
organs may be due to catarrh.
