The Doctor Says—

Running Nose ‘May "Have

‘Many Causes | Central Heating Gets

Part of the Blame By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D. THIS 18 the time of year when susceptible persons most often complain of excessive mucus in the nose, and of hawking and spitting. Some call this: condition catarrh. It was formerly ‘known as defluxation or rheum. Today, doctors usually speak of it as “post-nasal drip,” but this is not much better than the old

| names. Whatever it is called, it

| is a most disagreeable condition.

It is caused by the formation of mucus in the nose or sinuses, which drips down into the throat and upper breathing tubes. The irritating effects of this mucus result in constant nose blowing, sneezing, clearing of the throat and bringing up of small quantities of mucus with a hacking’ cough. \ E> . APPARENTLY many different conditions are at least partly to blame. Excessive dampness is undoubtedly a factor. Other things which have been blamed are smoking, central heating, dust, irritating fumes, germs, rapid changes fn the external ‘temperature of the air, emotional . disturbances and abnormalities in the structure of the nose or sinuses. Certainly central heating, which

causes extremely &ry rooms, combined with excessive moisture in the air outside, must be an ir-

ritating factor in man) The dryness of centrally heated houses or rooms causes increased evaporation of moisture from the nasal passages, which thickens the mucus and makes the normal process of its removal less satisfactory.

people

~ - ~ MANY persons wonder whether swallowing the nasal secretions will harm the stomach. From what is known of the nature of the-mueus-and-the ability of the stomach to handle it, most people do not suffer,

The danger to the lower part of the breathing apparatus is also ordinarily slight, unless mucus

causes such constant coughing as to over-strain the breathing tubes, or bronchi. and the lungs. Ordinarily, therefore, nasal:drip of mucus is comparatively” harmless, although annoyfing. It is the result of one or more irritations which can be overcome only by removing the cause or causes, Unfortunately, fhat is often impossible without a complete change in residence, and the postnasal drip alone is hardly enough to make that necessary.
