4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: THE EVENING STAR bas the fullest Leal Cirealasion of any Newspaper in the World, and as an Advertising Medium is werth more (han all the other papers published in Wasbiagton. ‘The talk that President Palmer, Director Peck and Secretary Butterworth of the world's fair commission have had with the President of the United States, inwhich the documents show- ing that the requirements of the exposition had been complied with were presented, will with- ont doubt hasten the isnance of the executive proclamation provided for by the act. This proclamation will be an invitation to foreign governments to participate in the fair and will ‘amount to a summons to all nations to come up and help the Americas to rejoice in their sev- eral and collective progress and mark with a white stone the distinct advance of civilization throughout the world. As a world’s fair the United States government for the people of the United States ask for the co-operation in the exhibits of every people under the sun. The managers my that there can be no reason- able doubt of the success of the exposition, as there isa site, money, places for buildings, organization and an effective division of esha ‘They aver that the lack of harmony between the national commission and the jocal direetory has been grossly exaggerated, and that all of the elements of success are at hand. Therefore when the proclamation issues the whole world may prepare for the grand event with fall confidence that the event will be worthy of the four hundredth anniversary of the discovery of the western hemisphere. : oo When the republican Senate cancus meets tonight the effort will probably be made to bring before it a number of propo- sitions for increasing the government currency. Besides the measures for reducing toa nominal amount the bonds held under the national bank act as a condition of Dank charter and the inerease to par value of, the rate circulation alowed to be ismed by the national banks on the bonds deposited as se- curity for circulation there are several silver propositions, namely: Free coinage at the present ratio with gold: purchase at market value of the silver accumulated in the country, supposed to be in value about thirteen millio and, third, the issne of certificates for the bul- lion value of trade dollars and fractional silver coin now in the treasury, estimated at $7,000,- 000 more. Conser: pinion seems to favor ‘the second of these silver propositions. The eancus may decide to combine the last two with perhaps some modifications, ~~ Dr. Allen Kelch in Metical Progress attempts to reduce the amount of praise now being lav- ished upon Dr. Koch and his lymph discovery. Dr. Kelch shows by statistics that of the 230,000,- 00 people in England. France, Germany and Russia 369,000 die of tuberculosis of the lungs, to 4,731,000, who die from other causes. Of these 4,731,000, one in seven had been at some time infected with pulmonary . creulosis, but re- covered to die of something else. Dividing by seven it is found that say 676,000 recovered. ‘These figures reduced to smaller ratio represent about thirteen recoveries to seven- teen deaths in every thirty cases, a result which Dr. Koch himself would no more than claim for his Iymph in a disease which is popularly sup- poved to be incurable. — Eight patients died at Puris soon after having Koch's lymph injected into them, and therefore the Parisians are more skeptical of the famous German's discovery than other people. The truth seems to be that there is not judgment enough displayed in the application of the lymph. Dr. Koch has warned the public all along not to expect too much, and has been pathetic in his appeals to the profession not to administer the cure at all to patients in the later stages of pulmonary disease. ee If the sun shines and things prosper February 23 will witness at Cincinnati the formation of a National Union party. It is easier for a new party to be born than it is for it to be kept alive beyond infancy. += Mr. Parnell refers to his seceding friends as i y called we on this side would know how properly to condemn them. ——_»+2 The Union League Club of New York with its limit of 1,600 members filled has an annual income of $300,000. With a slight increase of income a member need not do anything for « living except to be a member of the Union League. What an ideal existence that would be! —— Prime Minister Crispi, of Italy, notwithstand- ing he had many critics among the people has secured four-fifths of the popular house of the national legislature and snaps his fingers at the critics. ——___ +2 ___ Tt ie very seldom now that one hears a re- publican attempting to explain why it hap- pened in November.

LIGHTHILL, >| SPECIALIST FOR CATARRH, DEAFNESS AND DISEASES OF THE THROAT AD LUNGs, Ne. 1411 K STREET NORTHWEST, Wasbinzton, D.C. Catarrh manifests itself by a discharge from the head, varying in its nature in different cases and even im the same individual at different times. It may bea thin, colorless acrid fluid ora gisiry, starch-like sub- stance. Generally, however, it is. thick, purulent or ‘muco-purulent matter, either greenish yellow or of a deep green tint, occasionally streaked or flecked with blood. So copious and offensive is the discharge in ‘some cases that the whoie head appears to be im a state of corruption. ‘Much of the discharse drops into the throat or col- Jects asa tough, viscid, tenacious phiegin behind and above the soft palate, in the pasvige between the throat and head, embarrassing respiration and creating a con. ‘stant and almost irresistible desire to draw the offend- img substance into the throat, a practice popularly known as **hawking,” and characteristic of catarrh. fo tenacious is this phlemm in some cases, eapecially im the morning, that the efforts for its removal fre- quently cause retching and voruiting, and sometimes | no reliet is obtained until some food or drink has been taken. Often the offensive matter deposits itself in the nasal cavities in the shape of dry incrustations, often ac- companied by a foul, fetid, putrescent discharge from the head and the expulsion from the nostrils and throat Of larwe masses of offensive matter or flakes of incrus- tation, greenish yellow in color, purnient in ehatacter and of an indescribably fetid amd discustin odor. Uicerations are sometimes met with in such cases, which, if unchecked, may attack and destroy the bony structure of the nostrils, resulting im the serious dis- figurement of the nose and face. HAY FEVER—ROSE CATARRE. Tn some cases of catarrh the nasal membrane be- comes so morbidly sensitive that a draught of air, « sudden change ofthe weather or temperature, the least exposure or the inhalation of the odor of certain flow- ers or crasses may suddenly provoke a variety of most distressing aymptoms. At such times there isn pro- fuse watery and scalding discharge froin the nostriis, associated with a feeling of irritation and tickling in the nose and throat, accompanied by violent and pain- fal paroxysms of sneezing. Pain and soreness is also often felt at the -oot of the nose, on the side of the face or above and between the eyen, while violent spells of headache often increase the existing misery. The chest feels sore and distressed, cough is not unfre- quent, the breathing is oppressed and all theay:ptoms of asthma may manifest themselves and make life iteelf a burden. Attacks of this nature often occur in these cases wen the roses are in bloom, when it fs known as rose catarrh, or during haying time, wien it is known as hay fever, and so great is the suffering and distress at such times that the recurrence of these seasous is a constant source of dread and anxiety to the sufferer. STOPPAGE OF THE HEAD. Tn many cases of catarrh the mucous membrane of the nasal cavities becomes permanently swollen and thickened, causing the nose to be stopped up, some- times on one side, sometimes on the other and occa- sionally on both, rendering respiration through ite cavities difficult or impossible and giving rise to a pe- culiar ‘‘stufly” sensation in the head, accompanied by a feeling of heaviness, weight, compression or pain above and between the eyes and to violent paroxyams of sneezing. In all such cases great susceptibility ie experienced to sudden changes of the weather, damp air having a special tendency to agyravate ths existing: conditions, often to such an extent as to bring op difi- cult breathing and regular attacks of bronchitis. In consequence of the obstructed condition of the nostrils the patient is obliged to breathe more or less through the mouth, and sometimes entirely 50, a Practice fraught with very dangerous consequences, fora current of cold snd impure air thus constantly traverses the air parsaies and with all its irritating qualitics is conveyed into the delicate structure of the Jungs, while discase gersus of every kind may thereby readily find their way directly into the blood and cir- culation. The evil effects of this condition are intensi- fied at night, when persons #0 affected are obliged to sleep with the mouth wide open. Sleep under such cir. cumstances is not only restless and broken, but Unrefreshing, while st the same time the system is more defenseless rnd less able to Tesist the unfavorable influences in opera- tion. In children the consequences of month breath- ing is still more disastrous, for the lunzs are not prop- erly expanded and developed and in consequence thereof growth is retarded and a decided tendency is manifested to attacks of diphtheria, croup, quinsy snd other dangerous throat diseases, as well as to car- ache and subsequent deafness. Such children also present quite a characteristic appearance, the features Pinched, the shoulders stooping and the sides of the ebest retracted. The countenance has a duil, stupid expression, the upper teeth are usually irregular, and Liable to early decay and that deformity of the chest known as pigeon breast is often the result of nasal obstructions, CATARRH OF THE THROAT. Ina large number of cases of catarrh the throat is affected 28 well as the nasal passages, snd when such is the cases feeling of irritation, fullness, rawness, tenderness or pain is felt in the throat, increased upon Pressure or while swallowing, and occasionally a dis- tressing wensstion ix complained of, an if « hair or bristle or other foreign substance had lodged in the throst. The mucous membrane is coated with a tough, viscid discharge, which provokes an almost constant desire of ecraping, hemming or hawking, wi times a disagreeable sensation of dryness is constantly present. In some cases the abil- ity to swallow is sensibly impaired, so that patients find it somewhat difficult to force down the food, and ‘are troubled occasionally with paroxyamns of choking. A sense of fatigrne of the throat {s often complained of, ‘especially after the persistent use of the voice in speak- ing or singing or after meal time. ‘The voice is slways more or less affected in such canes, becoming hoarse, weak or cracked, and ‘occa- sionally it is 90 impaired that it degenerates into » mere whisper. Cough of variable severity is often Present in such cases, sometimes of a mere hacking character, but oprasionslly of a very severe and trou- blesome nature, accompanied by wandering pains and Other uncomfortable sensations in the chest, together with grest debility and proxressive emaciation. In fact, so alarming are these symptoms in some cases that they are apt to be mistaken for those of tubercular isease, and many ® case of catarrh that came under my observation bad been pronounced consumption ‘even by experienced physicians and vainly treated as such, while all the symptoms rapidly disappeared as s00n a8 the treatment was directed to the erapication of the catarrh. OFFENSIVE BREATH. In nearly every case of catarrh the breath is mare oF lees tainted and sometimes it is 20 revoitingly of- fensive as to render the sufferer an object of disgust to Ietmself as well as to others. Again, cases are occa ‘sdonally met with in which the stench is really over- Powering and sufficiently fetid to poison the atuce- phere ofawhole room. Thus s affected with catarrh lives continually in sn | atmosphere of his own crestion and inhales s potsonous effiavia with every breath. IMPAIRED SMELL AND TASTE. A frequent effect of catarrh 1s the impatrment or loss. Of smell. In some cases the somes of snel) is merely blunted ; in others only strong and decided edors make sm impression and tm others still # ts entirely de- ‘ecuteness. In some canes of catarrh it even becomes Affecied independently of smell, and occasionally ft ts ‘entirely lost, so that even snar cannot be distin- fruisbed from salt. How mach such » condition of ‘things will interfere with the appetite and digestion ‘ean be reedily imagined. DEAFNESS, One of the most deplorable features of catarrh is the ‘Feadines with which It spreedsthrouch the Eustachian ‘tubes to the important structure of the middle ear.and, by ite disorranizing effects, impairing or destroying hearing. This unfortunate result takes place so fre- ‘quently that im nearly every case of deafness which Presents iteelf for treatment the difficulty can be clearly traced to the effects of catarth, and, even in the few cases which orixinate from other cannes, the Presence of catarrh seriously agcravates the aural dis- cave and renders a permanent recovery imposible un- {il the catarrh is removed. In some cases the approach of deafness 1s #0 insidious that it ie almost impomsibie to fix the time when the difficulty first commenced. In other the deafness at first comes only by spells, more especially during an attack of fresh cold or after sneezing or blowing the Rose. At such thnes the bearing will be found sut- denis obstracted and will as suddenly return with something of a snapping sound and sometimes with a loud startling report, the whole process sriving an idea (Of a valve im the head which closed apd opens’ the avenue to hearing, By degrees, however, these spells (Of dentness occur oftener and last longer until perme- ‘ent deafness ia the result. Tn all cases of cstarrhal deafnem it is an unfortunate fexture that the difficulty, crows slowly but steadily worse until the hearing is seriously lnpaired or entirely destroyed. Noiaes in the head of every conceivable description are also apt to make their appearance during the progress of the isease, adding Hhaterially to the existing distress, WEAK AND INFLAMED EYES. ‘The mncous membrane of the nostrils extends through the tear passaces tothe eyes, where it lines the eyetias and covers the anterior portion of the eye- Dati, ‘Through this channel the caterrbal inflamma- tion is often transmitted to the eyes, obstructing the tear duct and inflaming the eyesor eyelids. In such cases the tears overflow the cheeks, oF the eyes are weak, and water upon the slightest exposure to the cold or wind. Theeyesarethus kept in @ constant condition of discomfort, irritation and distress, pre- Aispdsing to more serions disorders, from which the Joss of sieht itself might result. Experience has Proved that many chronic inflarumatory disorders of the eye owe their origin and persistency entirely to the effects of catarrh and cannot ve cured without the re- ‘moval of the catarrh itself. GASTRIC CATARRH-DYSPEPSIA, Disonters of digestion are not an uncommon conse- Quence of catarrh, owing to the large amonnt of of- fensive secretion which is constantly conveyed to the Stomach by the food and drink, of js otherwise «wal- lowed, causing irritation to that organ, snd the intes- tines, while the saliva and other secretions of the | «lands of the mouth are wasted in expectoration and | become deteriorated in quality from the catarrhal dis- | ease. In consequence of this the appetite becomes im- paired or deranzed. the tongue is coated, a bad and un- Pleasint taste in the mouth ts experienced, and dys- vepaia, with its thousand ills, makes its appearance, which nothing but the judicious treatment of the ca- tarrh can effectually alleviate. NERVOUS AND MENTAL DERANGEMENTS. ‘The nasal cavities and the sinuses connected with them are situated immediately under that portion of the brain which perfonns the mental functions. In fact, only a very thin plate of bone separates the two, and even that is perforated by innumerable apertures for the passaze of nerves and blood vessels. In catarrh these blood vesweis become greatly conzested and increased to an abnormal size, constricting the Rerve fibres and injuring their vitality. Hence we often find that catarrh impairs the mental faculties ‘end that patients complain of an impairment of mem- ory and a difficulty of concentrating their attention or following a fixed line of thought. They cannot per- forin their usual mental tasks without serious discom forts, such as headache, dizziness. confusion of ideas oF excessive faticue, and at times they are entirely dis qualified for mental labor. A change is often ngticed in the elements of their character. They become fret- ful, morose and depressed in spirits, sometlues ‘sufficiently 0 as to lead to insanity or suicide. A num- ber of instences are on record—some even having ob- tained public notoriety where these disastrous conse- ‘Quences were clearly the result of catarrh. DEVELOPMENT OF CONSUMPTION. ‘The great mortality arising from diseases of the re- piratory organs is conceded fact, but it is not wener- ally understood that nearly all the graver diseases of the lower air parsages take thetr origin and rise frow catarrh and affections of the throat, and yet such is the case. A neglected catarrh of the head speedily extends itself to the throat, from the throat the irritation is carried onward and downward toward the bronchial tubes, and once arrived there none can tell when tuber- cles may torm or how soon, bronchitis may end in con- sumption. These pernicious results take place so free ‘quently that the highest medical authorities of the day agree in considering catarrh as one of the chief and ‘most frequent causes of consumption. Some contend ‘that it has & powerful tendency to rouse into fatal ac- tivity any latent predisposition which may lurk in the system favorable to the development of tubercular dis- ease, while others regard catarrh in itself asthe very first manifestation of consumption. All sides admit ‘that a diseased condition of the nasal ‘Passages and throat seriously impairs the functions of the lunes and ultimately lays the foundation to pulmonary troubles, ‘and my own experience fully confirms these views. Aside from the irritating effects upon the lunes, catarth exercises a depressing, debilitating and ener. vating effect upon the entire system, under the con- tinued influence of which the strongest constitution will in time break down. ‘The patient is unable to ent dure, resist, or defy the changes of ‘the weather and temperature and other unfavorable influences and thus. one by one the vital powers give way. The mucous membrane becomes morbidly sensitive, and, in spite of the utmost care, becomes affected from the slichtest. causes, so that at last even a breath of wind upon the lining of the nose or throst becomes pro- ductive of a cold and gives rise to. serious distarbance Of the respiratory organs. Thus the patient ts subject to frequent and repeated colds, each one anKre- vating the disease by giving it ® new impulse and attacking © larger extent of surface ‘than its predecessor. In this mapner catarrh ‘spreads from organ to organ, invading thethront and lower air passages until, encroaching further and fur- ‘ther, it Gnally reaches the lungs and ends in consump- tion. ‘This lamentable result takes place so frequently that it exhibits in a most forcible manner ‘the great im- portance of attending to the catarrhal disease while it is yet confined to the nasal cavities and throat. To disregard this warning is to invite the fatal inroads of the most deadly scourge known to the human race, whereas a judicious course of treatment employed in time wards off this source of danger by uprooting the catarrhal disease and restoring the affected paris to ‘their normal condition. ‘TREATMENT AND CURE. Having shown the offensive character of catarrh,the variety of forma under which it may appear, the dan- erous complications to which tt ¢ives Fiseand the per- nicions effects it exercises over the entire system, it will be readily admitted that its proper treatment ts = ‘matter of paramount importance. Unfortunately the disease shows no tendency to spontaneoas recovery, but.on the contrary, when once established, retains its. hold with singular tenacity and constantly extends it- self further and further beyond its oririnal limits until it often becomes destractive of life iteelf. And yet many sufferers neglect their condition altogether and ‘others trust to the tender mercies of some of the nu- ‘merous catarrh remedies of the day, without realizing the dangers to which they expose themselves. Cases have repeatedly come under my notice where serious inflammation of the cavities of the ears and bead fol- Jowed the use of some of these trritating applications, impairing or destroying the hearing and endangering Iife itself. Even the sunfling up of salt water, harmless es it wry appear and extensively as it is practiced, ia cocasionally followed by disastrous results, and many ‘s.case of deafness can be clearly traced to tts injudi- cious use. It is well for the people to anderatand thst ‘the effectual removal of catarrh requires skfilful and systematic treatment administered by those qualified for the tack by the mecessary training and experience. ‘To the investigation of catarrh in every form and ‘variety 1 lave devoted the energies of © lifetime, and have mado its proper treatment « special stady.
