THE DANGERS OF CATARRH.

» Tbe great danger in catarrh rests in the fact that most people look upon the trouble as a chronic cold. In a. way, this is correct ; for the onset of nasal catarrh can generally, be traced- to ai beginning in an obstinate cold, or succession of colds, in the head. The error comes in the tendency to neglect the disease, on the supposition that it is only a cold, and will disappear in- time. The neglected cold becomes a chironio eatpn'h, which, according to the predisposition of the sufferer, may destroy the sense of taste, smell and hearing, and may attack the t<hroat, lungs or stomach. The most interesting- question to the catarrh patient, however, is how to get rid of the disease. Operations and cauterisations of the nose aie generally advised ; but the Editor of the " Review of Ear, Nose and Throat Diseases " shows that there is another method of cure (painless and capable of home cure) and publishes, with the April " Review," a " Supplement," containing full details of a large number o.f cases cured by this new method. A free copy of the "Review," with " Supplement," can be obtained by addressing tlue Editor, Drouet Institute, 10, Marble Arch, London, W., England. Another special feature of the "Review" is the enclosure of a Patient's Report Form, for the benefit of those who wish advice, for which no fee is ch&r.£ecl i if given* b,y t corres--»uQn.denc9».
