What Is Catarrh?

Catarrh is an inflammation of t’ e mucous membranes, and may alTact t.ie Head, throat, stomach, bowels. or I ladder. But catarrh of the head is the most common, often coming on so gradually tnat it has a Aim hold before the nature of the trouble is suspected. Catarrh is caused by a cold, or succession of colds, combined with impure blood. Its local symptoms are a sense of fullness and heat in the forehead,dryness in the nose and back part of the throat, and a disagreeable discharge from the nose. When the disease gains a flrm hold on the system it becomes chronic, and is then exceedingly dangerous and treacherous, liable to develop into consumption. Fortunate is it that we have in Hood’s Sarsaparilla the remedy for this ever-in-creasing malady. It attacks at once the source of the disease by purifying and enriching the blood,which in passing through the delicate passages of the mucous membrane soothes and rebuilds the tissues, giving them tendency to health instead of disease. and ultimately curing the affection. At the same time Hood’s Sarsaparilla builds up the whole system, and makes one feel that he has taken a new lease of life. Each arrondissement of Paris will henceforth be provided with a mortuary depot to meet cases of which the following is a type: A man died recently in a cab and the body, upon being brought to his furnished lodgings, was refused admittance by the proprietor. It was next conveyed to the hospital, which declined it on the ground that only living people were received. When transported to the morgue the remains were also refused, the morgue being only for the unknown dead.
