Catarrh is not merely an inflammation of the tissues of the" tea J and

into the throat, continual hawking and spitting, etc., would seem to indi
cate ; it is a blood disease in which the entire circulation and the greater
part of the system are involved. Catarrh i3 due to the presence of an excess
of uric acid in the blood. The Liver, Kidneys and Bowels frequently be
come torpid and dull in their action and instead of carrying off the refuse
and waste of the body, leave it to sour and form uric acid in the system.
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 start the secretions and other disgusting and disagreeable
symptoms of Catarrh. As the blood goes to all parts of the body the ca
tarrhal poison affects all parta o the system. The head has a tight, full
feeling, nose continually stopped up, pains above the eyes, slight fever
comes and goes, the stomach is upset and the entire system disordered and
