This inflammation may be the
result of an infection. However,
inflammation of the nose may
occur from another cause, that
is. sensitivity TO dust, pollen and

are always present in the nose,
but until the resistance OF the

According TO Or. Arthur G.
Wells of England, there are sew

in producing continued nasal dis

more often than girls.
EXPOS SURE TO cold, wet
