when any such exist, but, from its specific effects
upon the lining membrane of the nasal passages, it aids materially in
restoring the diseased, thickened, or ulcerated membrane to a healthy
condition, and thus eradicates the disease. When a cure is effected in
this manner it is permanent. The system is so purified, regulated, and
strengthened, as to be strongly fortified against the encroachments of
catarrh and other diseases. The effects of the "Golden Medical
Discovery" upon the system will be gradual, and the alterative changes
of tissue and function generally somewhat slow. They are with however,
less complete, radical, and lasting; and this constitutes its great
merit. Under its influence all the secretions are aroused to carry the
blood-poisons out of the system, the nutrition is promoted, and the
patient finds himself gradually improving in flesh; his strength is
built up, his lingering ailments dwindle away, and by and by he finds
his whole person has been entirely renovated and repaired he feels like
a new man--a perfect being.

THE CLOTHING. With most persons suffering from chronic nasal catarrh,
there is a great disposition to take cold, even slight cause being
sufficient to produce an acute attack, which greatly aggravates the
chronic affection and operates to render it permanent. To obviate the
bad effects that are liable to result from this predisposition, great
attention should be paid to the clothing, that it thoroughly protects
the person from sudden changes of temperature. For more particular and
practical suggestions in regard to this matter, the reader is referred
to the article on Clothing, in Part Two, Chapter II, of "The People's
Common Sense Medical Adviser."
THE DIET has an important influence with this disease, as with
consumption and many other chronic ailments. It should be largely
composed of those articles rich in the non-nitrogenized or carbonaceous
elements. Fat meats, rich, sweet cream, good butter, and other similar
articles of food, should comprise a large part of the diet. These
elements, which are prolific in the production of animal heat counteract
the predisposition to take cold, and thus become most valuable remedial
agents--not less essential than the medical treatment that has been
advised. The patient, suffering from chronic catarrh, should study well
the hygienic teachings to be found in Part Two of "The People's Common
