PHARYNGITIS
Good Advice for Sufferers
From Catarrh. Hay Fever.
And Kindred Ailments

"Thoro Sc possibly no section OF the
country that can equal the Atlantic coast
and southern states. in the prevalence Of
malaria, and catarrh affections" said a
medical journal in speaking Of the pre-
valence Of catarrh in the South 1t is a
well known fact that % per cent. or so
per cent of the people Of Wilmington and
vicinity have a catarrhal affection Of some
kind or other. In the majority of cases, it
is mild, inonensive and not at all serious,
but there are many cases that have led to
very serious results through the negli-
gonce or ignorance In not consulting a
reputable physician in the early stages Of
the disease. one Of the best known au-
thorities on Nasal Pharyngits says,
Acute Inflammation Of the posterior nasal
cavity may occur primarily as a concomi-
tant symptom of acute rhinitis but Il
most frequently presents itself as a COM
plication of that affection and of acute
pharyngitis. It is sometimes caused by the
inhalation Of dust or other irritating par
tices, through mechanical action, and is a
frequent accompaniment Of a number OF
diseases of childhood, such as diphtheria,
measles, scarlatina, and so forth. A scro-
fulous diathess seems to predispese TO it,.
Climate to Blame.
The irregular climate Of this country
renders II Of frequent occurrence and, al
though its symptoms are seldom of suf-
fciont intensity TO require medical aid,
it assumes great Importance as the pre-
cursory stage Of the so-called post-nasal
catarrh."
The disposition on the part Of most
people TO make light of cold in the head
has been the cause Of many serious com
plications, causing weeks and months Of
distressing illness. There may be simple
remedies which can be safely used. but
when the Inflammation spreads and in
wolves other parts of the head and throat,
the better plan is to consult your physl-
clan at once The dire results following a
disregard Of these Instructions are some
what appalling In their far-reaching con-
sequences. The first danger is that the dis
ease may become chronic. Then the strug-
gle begins to conquer a wasting of the
tissue and the disagreeable discharges
which not only upset the digestion, but
frequently cause acute Inflammation OF
the lungs, which results in consumption
any kind. cleanliness Is of course. a most
important desidoratum. Additions through
the nose are not altogether satisfactory
They do not effectually cleanse the naso-
pharyngal membrane OF the discharges
which adhere TO them. a more effective
medium for this purpose Is the same
treatment as used in hay-fever.-
