OF course all forms Of catarrh, includ-
ing hay fever affecting the respiratory
passages, produce irritation, frequently
manifested in attacks OF coughing. The
air passages and the "voice box should
be put into good condition by qualified
expert, bent nasal Cartiages Strengthened,

d IGHT here it may be pertinent TO mention that the
IN nasal douche 50 universally employed IS often re-
sponsble for distressing coughing spells and catarrhal
headaches" Not only the fluid itself may be irritating,
but it may penetrate the bone snuses, or openings.
One of the gravcst dangers in fact IS that water may
reach the middle through the Eustachan tube (the
little canal running from the nosril to the earl and

most painful ills the human body can suffer.
Remedies directed to the relief OF catarrhal coughs,
as coughs have about the general effect as have
moonbeams on the growth of cucumbers. In fact they
are about on plane in point Of utility and common

Whooping cough is one of the few varieties OF cough
that all wool and yard wide, in that they are what
they are represented to be. Yet even whoopng cough
has been caught in the act of deception The whoop
has been separated from the cough and shown TO be
merely a symptom Of a general condition caused by
germs identical in nature with those which cause dis
temper in dogs and "snuiles' in rabbits.
This demonstrates that whOopng cough may not
only be transmitted from children, but also from in
fected animals In any event, parents should learn that
various diseases are caught from pets and that germs
are germs, just much pigs IS pigs-only
In connection with this distressing and dangerous dis
ease it is encouraging to know that DR.. Emil Roux OF
the Paseur Institute in Paris announced last June the
discovery by two French physicians of method OF pre-
pairing a solution containing living whOoping cough
baci somewhat after the method described in a recent
article in this magazine stamping Out Typhoid"
This solution he injected into hundred and twenty
two children suffering from whoopng cough Fifty OF
these children recovered in less than three weeks
whereas under ordinary treatment, the mdest attack
lasted two months All of which is helpful, and step
in the right direction.
NTONE who have ever listened month after month to
~ those ptifuly ineffective efforts TO disOdge that
which was eating into living tissue forget the
shock the horror the cruel remorseessness, of the
tuberculous cough. For what a thousand years
the poor victim gasps and strangles finally TO eXpel
eager portion Of that which is slowly sapping his life.
Or more omnous still is the teltae squirt of red. II
ever a patient needs expert competent attention, he
requires it in tuberculosis He needs remedies that will
facilitate expectoraton with the least deeterous effect
upon the Digestion and just the right amount Of seda-
tive to relieve the acute irritation, yet not lock up the
secretions.
Fortunately, the modern treatment Of tuberculosis
has worked miracles in relieving and curing those who
but few years ago were considered doomed. Now
