EARLY MORNING CATARRH.

In an editawl on Catarrh in the last number of the Eeview of Nose and Throat Diseases,"' there is mentioned the tendency of catarrhal diseases to become especially trcaiblesome in/ the mormng. The explano,tio;i of this is to he found in the fact that during the night, when, the body is recumbent, the catarrhal accumulations pass backward from the nasal cavities into the throat. In the morning, on waking-, these accumulations cause hacking, coughing 1 ,, or scraping to free the. throat from the phlegm-, and in some cases this symptom becomes so prominent s> 3 to be called " Early morning catarrh." This number of the " Eeview " also contains a supplement giving , ilid details of a large number of cases of caterrK c-uied by a i>ew method, which has been successful where operative procedures and cau> terisatious have failed. There is, likewise, a Report Form, by means of which patients suffering with deafness or ear, nose, or throafj ailments can obtain free advice by posf. i'hose vrho are interested can seoure a- copy of the " Eeview " (witJi Supplement and Reporti Form), fiee by post, by addressing "fieview.'* P.O.
