Chronic Coughs and Colds Are Catarrhal Diseases.

Catarrh Is the Continual Scourge of Christendom. Catarrh hovers ominously over every city, and nestles treacherously in every hamlet. It flies with vampire wings from country to country and casts a black shadow of despair over all lands. Its stealthy approach and Its lingering stay makes it s dread to the physician and a pest to the patient. It changes the merry langh of childhood to the wheezy breathing of croup, and the song of the blushing maiden to the hollow cough of consumption. In Its withering grasp the rounded form of the fond wife and mother becomes gaunt and spectral, and the healthy flush of manhood tarns to the sallow, haggard visage of the invalid. Cough takes the place of conversation, speech gives way to spitting, (he repulsive odors of chronic catarrh poison the kiss of the fondest lovers, and thick-

ened membranes bedim sight, ImpsflUf hearing and destroy taste. Like the plague-stricken Egyptian ’IT~ cry of distress has gone out from every household, and the mildew of woe dings to every hearthstone. Catarrh in some form, catarrh In bom stage lurks as tn enemy in the slightest cough or cold end finishes its fiendish work In heart disease and consumption. No tissue, function, or organ of ths body escapes its ravages; muscles wlthr er, nerves Shatter, and aecretlona Rrf. up under Its blighting presence. Mi stubborn and difficult of rare la thin disease (hat to Invent a remedy to curs chronic catarrh has been the ambition ed the greatest minds in all ages.
