Catarrh is due to the presence of an excess of uric acid in the blood. The Liver, Kldncy3 and Dowels frequently be come torpid and dull in their action nnd instead of carrying oil the refuse: nnd waste of the body, leave it to sour and form uric acid in the aystem. This is taken up by the blood and through its circulation distributed to all parts of the system. These impurities in the blood irritate and inflame the different membranes and tissues of the body, and the contracting of a cold will atatt the secretions and other disgusting and disagreeable symptoms of Catarrh. As tho blood goes to all parts of the body the ca tarrhal poison affects nll parts of the system. The head has a tight, full feeling, nose continually stopped np, pains above the eyes.
