THE WORD
CAT ARRH

HAS NO DEFINITE MEANING.
AS an example: In nasal catarrh
one form, hypertrophy, enlarges the
structures and more or less closes the
breathing space. Another form,
atrophv causes too much opening.
Both are catarrh but need different
treatment.
Chronic Rhinitis, Adanoids, Oezena,
Polypi, Deviated Septum Septal
Spurs, Sinusitis are all catarrhal fac
tors and headache, deafness, dizzi-
ness, bad breath are some results.
These are durable with proper treat
ment. What is necessary is proper
treatment for that particular form
