doubtless would have had begun and would
have been had for the Intervention
Of the board of accounts.

NASAL CATARRH

This form OF Catarrh is. 10 say the
least, sickening and disgusting. besides be-
ing most common and highly dangerous.
The changes OF weather render the deli
cate mucous membranes IN the nose and
throat very susceptible TO Inflammation.
and thus encourage the birth and growth
Of catarrhal germs
The nose and throat are what might be
called the highway OF life
The throat itself is divided into two
main passages; one the Ot Nophagus. or
gullet. going to the stomach. the other
the respiratory tract, or Traches. going TO
the bronchial tubes and lungs Through
the lungs the blood passes with every
heart beat. and there comes in contact
with the air. II the air brsathed in y
pure and u nose. throat and lungs are
sound. the dark blood is at once purified
and passes out OF the lungs in a bright
red stream. carrying life and strength to
al the body. r. however. the air
oreathed in IS bad. or II the nose. throat
lr lungs are diseased IN any way then the
blood (instead OF being purified by lis
passage through the lungs is. on the con-
'rary. still further poisoned and goes on

tubes are completely filled total deafness
may result.
In deafness from nasal catarrh. which
affects the middle ear. It often happens
that cracking sounds are present which
distress and confuse the patient These
are due TO the fact that the mucus which
fills the upper part and back OF the
throat is covering the opening Of the Eus-
tachian Tubes and the bursting Of buh-
bles or the movement OF mucus causes
the sounds. which come from the altered
resonance OF the ear After a cracking
report the head may seem clearer and the
hearing better for time Later on in
the case there may be cracking SOUNDS

efforts OF a stiffened muscle TO open the
tubes which yield with a jerk
