As the membrane and tissues of the nose are<aten axvay. the sense of smell is gradually lost, and the victim of this disjjustinf; disease is not able to detect even the foul odors that arc so offensive to those in Ins presence. There is no limit to the damage brought about by Catarrh when neglected, or when local application* alone are depended upon for a cure. Inhalers, sprays, ointments, powders, tobacco remedies, cigarettes, etc., can do no permanent good ; such treatment only reaches a small portion of the diseased surface, wnile the parts most affected are left untouched. Some people have cotne tq regaid Catarrh as incurable, and have lost faith in all treatment. Others, living in a climate where the disease is common, expect it and patiently endure it.
