DR. ABORN oN CATARRH,. [In view of the large number of persons of thir vicinage who are aMlicted with eatarrhal com- viaints,the following letter by Dr. Aborn will at tract aniversal attention } This i+ ehronic affection ef the mucus mem- brane of the nostrils oF the throat, originating in | irritation or inflammation, and attended by more | or jeas discharge. It is one of the most common, most disgusting, sud, finally. most destructive of diseases incident to the variable climate of our Bortbern latitude. In ite early stages Oatarrb often fails to attract the patients attention, so insidious is its ap- proach. This is an unfortumate circumstance, because the most favorable period for tretament im thus unimproved, and because of the peculiar disposition of this disease to extend upward to the frontal sinuses, backward through the Bustachien tubes to the middle ears, snd downward through the larynx, trachia, sud bronchis to the sir cells of the tunes. The discharge from the affected partis at first clear Suid, which may escape observation, unless it chance to be of © more than usually acrid char acter. As time goes on, this gives place tos flula that is thicKer, and of @ yellow or yellowish green color, and still later this ray be succeeded by thick Takes or ecales. In all the more advanced stages the discharzes are generally of an offensive odor, causing great Snnoysnce to one’s friends aad to the patient *imself while bis sense of smell remairs. This Snboyance from the odor becomes almost beyond endctrance, when, a8 sometimes happe! the deli- cate bones of the nose bec me disea: Some cases carly sesume the character ef Dry Catarrh. There is th & feeling of uneasiness, Leet, end sticTaess in the nostrils, which are often (one or both of them) closed by thickening of the intcous membrane, and thas a difficulty of breath- ing becomess prominent symptom. On examining the nostrils in chronic Catarrh, with instruments specially wlapted to that pur- Bete, we find its linia membrane thickened and of & deeper color thar in bealth. There are seen little peints of ules ation, upou which the secre. thom becomes bardened sad Whea @ diseased surface is irri ms Crusis. theres are picked off . 4, and often bleeds protessly.

Debslity, paleness, lassitude, headache, and disturbance ef mind soen follow. In tome inetances the mental affection is one of ‘eritability,the patient being unduly anpoyed by all the little perplexities of life.
