Colds in the Heads a Cause of Catarrh.

The medical explanation of the causes and symptoms of catarrh is an interesting item of a quarterly medical Journal just at hand. The Editor is anxious that people should understand the. serious consequences which may result from neglect of a cold or a series of colds in the head. In fact, the beginning of many of the most obstinate forms of catarrh can be traced to what the patient thought a simple cold. This fact is emphasised by a series of cases taken from the records of the Drouet Institute. These cases also serve to illustrate the treatment of catarrh by the Drouet Method, which tb.e Editor points out has been successful in a large proportion of instances after operations and other special procedures have failed. Names and addresses being given, this issue of the “Review of Ear, Nose, and Throat Diseases” will be of use to everyone who has any form of catarrh. A free copy of the Review can be obtained by addressing the Secretary. Drouet Institute, 10. Marble-arch, London. W., England. The “Review” also contains a Special Report Form by means of which anyone can obtain free advice as to treatment.
