above and behind the
palate is angry, reddened, thickened and roughened, as represented in
_G_, Fig. 16.

TREATMENT To rationally treat a disease, attack the cause. Therefore, in
an uncomplicated case of post-nasal disease of the pharynx the medicine
should be applied at this point. For this purpose we recommend the
regular and continuous use of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy administered
preferably by means of the post-nasal syringe as illustrated in Fig. 16.

The efficacy of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy as a curative agent in catarrh
of mucous membranes is unequaled if the medicine be properly and
thoroughly applied. The Catarrh Remedy fluid should be prepared as
directed in the pamphlet which accompanies the medicine. Warm enough of
the medicine to fill the syringe twice. After the syringe is filled with
the warm medicine, introduce the curved tip behind the soft palate,
holding the syringe as seen in Fig. 16, then incline the head forward
over a wash bowl and empty the syringe by pressing the plunger quickly.
The medicine will immediately come in contact with the diseased surfaces
and pass out through the nostrils, thoroughly medicating, disinfecting
and cleansing the upper part of the throat and the posterior region of
the nostrils. Two syringes of the medicine should be used for each
treatment, and two or more applications made every day until a cure is
effected.

At the same time the local treatment is being used, Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery should be taken to act through the blood upon the
diseased tissues.

The Catarrh Remedy may be administered by means of the Nasal Douche, if
the case is complicated by nasal catarrh. Should tumors or deformities
exist, it is advisable to consult a specialist.

ENLARGED TONSILS.

Chronic enlargement of the tonsils, as shown in Fig. 17, _A A_, is an
exceedingly common affection. It is most common to those of a scrofulous
habit. It rarely makes its appearance after the thirtieth year, unless
it has been imperfectly cured. Both tonsils are generally, though
unequally enlarged. A person affected with this disease is extremely
liable to sore throat, and contracts it on the slightest exposure; the
contraction of a cold, suppression of perspiration, or derangement of
the digestive apparatus being sufficient to provoke inflammation.

CAUSES. Repeated attacks of quinsy, scarlet fever, diphtheria, or
scrofula, and general im
