e Larnyx is usually much congested, being constantly
irritated, not only reflexly through the nervous system, but directly by
the inspired air, and excoriating discharges dropping in the throat from
behind the palate. Thus it is plain to understand how chronic
Pharyngitis, Laryngitis, Bronchitis, and Asthma may result from a small
polypus in the nasal cavity.

TREATMENT. In mild cases correcting the constitutional derangement may
check the morbid process in the nostrils and cause absorption of the
polypus growth. For this purpose Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
is unequaled. The removal of the polypus may sometimes be accomplished
by snuffing powdered blood-root. When these measures fail it is
necessary to seek surgical assistance. After the removal of the polypus
Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy should be used to prevent a recurrence.

OUR OPERATION FOR NASAL TUMORS.

Having operated with unvarying success upon a very large number and
variety of nasal tumors at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute we
are positively assured that the means and methods which we employ are
neither severe or dangerous; _no pain_, consequently _no shock_;
recovery rapid and permanent. Many forms of injection and local
treatment are in use for the removal of nasal polypi, none of which have
proven to be curative; recurrence of the tumor many times following such
treatment. Many cases have presented themselves after having been
treated by the heroic method of seizing the polypus with a pair of
forceps and forcibly tearing it loose, bringing with it segments of
healthy tissue, leaving bone exposed, and a ragged, uneven surface of
diseased membrane. It is much easier to properly treat a case from the
beginning than to undertake it in such a rendition.

Owing to the fact that these nasal tumors grow directly from the lining
membranes it is necessary not only to thoroughly remove the tumor but to
treat the diseased membrane at the point from which the polypus springs;
otherwise another tumor may develop at the same point. The nasal passage
having been thoroughly anaesthetized, or benumbed, by the use of
cocaine, the nasal speculum is introduced, and by means of reflected
light from the head mirror worn by the operator, the interior of the
nostril is brought into view. (See Fig. 9, p. 479.)

Often the attachment of the growth is entirely hidden behind the
irregular bony structures of the nostril so that it requires the skill
of an exp
