It takes iust such weather to produce and develop Catarrh and bring out all its humiliating and disgusting symptoms.

The slight cold becomes a stubborn and protracted one, while the discharges from the nose are most offensive and sickening. As the inflammation extends further up into the head and the delicate mechanism of the ear is attacked, there is a continual buzzing and ringing: in the ears, and frequently the hearing is partially 'or totally lost Headaches are almost constant with sometimes acute pains in the eyeg, and the nose becomes so plugged up that the patient must breathe through the mouth while the filthy 1 secretions are forced back into the throat requiring almost continual hawking and spitting to dislodge them. At certain stages of the disease, the odor of the breath becomes fearfullv offensive, to the great mortification and embarrassment of the sufferers and disgust of all who come near them. Little by little the foul matter finds its way into the Stomach, ruining the digestion, and a most miserable form of dyspepsia or Catarrh of the Stomach is the inevitable consequence. The blood becomes contaminated by the foul secretions and unhealthy matter, and these are distributed through the body, and Catarrh is then a deep seated, dangerous constitutional or systemic disease, and its effect upon the general health and system is soon apparent appetite and strength are gone and the disease frequently settles in some vital organ or terminates in Bronchitis or dread Consumption.

While sprays, washes and the many other local remedies so diligently used give temporary relief, chronic Catarrh sufferers know that they possess no curative properties and fail to reach the true source of the trouble and all the benefits received from such treatment are swept away by the first breath of winter.
