There is nothing more disgusting and an-
noying than to be brought into contact With
any oncwith an offensive breath. To per-
sons so afflicted the mortidcation is great, as
they soon begin to find how those with
whom they are brought into contactavoid

tually compelledto; but yet by far greater
is the annoyance, I might say, with truth,
punishmentinflictcd on the one compeled
to inhale it. Numerous are the instanCes in
which it isolates persons from the society of
others, causes coolness among friends. has-
band aiitl wife, and breaks off many an en-
gagement.
Many laboring under such an afliction
might not be able to comprehend why they
should be so intolerable, but could they
smell themselves as they really are, they
would no longer wonder, for it must be con-
ceded that of all odors there is none more
revolting and nauseating than that from a
putrid breath. Ihave, in innumerable in-
st. 11 res, h -d a wife or husband, or father or
mother say. “ Doctor, if you can only re-
move the offensive smell from—whomever
it may have been—J shall be perfectly satis-
fiegl, for it nauseates me so when [can’t
avoid inhaling it, that it is as'much as I
can do to prevent vomiting."
Persons so affected are generally particu-
larly sensitive on the subject, and their
friends being equally sensitive about speak-
ing to them of it, consequently there are few
who know how really revolting they are.
And there are many who lire affected and
yet are not cogniZant of the fact, for the
same reason that no one feels like speaking
to them of it. Imagine how great nu insult
it' would be felt for any one to say to anoth-
er, “Please, when you speak, to turn your
face‘away. so that I wont get the benefit of
your breath, for it stinks so."
In almost all cases of Catarrh the breath
becomes sooner or later affected, as the dis-
ease progresses, from the fact that the Ca-
tarrhsl Mucous itself has an offensive odor.

sometimes impregnate the atmosphere of
a whole room. This is also the case when
there is ulceration of the nasal bones, or
when the glands imbedded in the mucous
membrane are involved.
Many have been, and are, the devices re-
sorted to, to counteract the odor, but all
without avail. Perfuming the person not
only utterly fails, but tends, if anything, to
make the stench more overpowering and
unendurablc. There is only one way to get
rid of it, and that is to get rid of the disease.
Cause and effect in no instance more than
this show how they must be kept sight of,
for as long as the cause,——that which produ-
ces the putrid odor—rqmains, so long must
there be the putrid odor.
Supposing a dead animal to have remain-
ed long enough-in the street to have become
putrid , would any man who would attempt
to perfume 'it to counteract the smell, be con-
siderezl sane? Could the atmbsphere be pure,
as long as the animal—the cause of the im-
purity—remained? Certainly not. Remove
the animal and see how soon the air will
gain become pure. ‘ So with an offensive
reath, remove the canse--Catarrh—and it
will soon be found how soon the breath will
become pure.
"lETlER No.5.
Effect of Catarrii. on the
V
Sense. of Smell.
The sense of smell, or means by which we
become cognizant of Odors,is through the
olfactory nerve—a nerve which proceeds
from the brain through a small fissure at the
base of the cranium and extends. in fila-
ments or threads over the upper portion of '
the pituatory membrane; consequently, any
diseases affecting the nasal cavities affects it
also. " '
It will therefore be seen why the impair-
ment and suspension of smell during a
severe cold is so frequent, and when the in-
flammation of the pituatry membrane be-
comes more chronic, as in Catarrh, a simi-
lar feature presents itself; or if slightly im-
paired at first, gradually beames more so as
the disease increases. 1n cases of severe
old, when the sense of smell is suspended,
it generally returns again, sometimes, how.
ever, in an impaired state. When this is
the case, it is a sure indication that catarrh-
al inflammation has commenced, and if the
disease is allowed to progress, it will gradu—'
ally grow weaker and weaker until it is en-
tirely lost. At first the finer and more deli-
cate odors the patient becomes less sensible
to, and so by degrees, until, in the more
5':
O
ity of the most nauseous odors is lost, and
he most pungent essences fail to produce
he slightest effect. I have seen cases where
he sense of smell was so entirely gone that
nions could be put under their noses and
if blindfolded it would be impossible for
them to tell what it was.
To be deprived of the loss of smell it is
not necesary to cemmeut on for th t, like
any other less, is too well on erstoo~ ; but
this much can‘be said, that while it is not as
great a misfortune as that of spee’ch,hearing
or sight, yet it is, nevertheless, one of great
importance, as it not only curtails our enjoy-
ent in a‘great measure, but leads to com
equences detrimental to health. While
there are many odors that those whose sense
of smell is not impaired may wish their ol~
factory nerves were lmperviéus to, yet it
must be acknowledged a great privation not
to be able to_ enjoy the delicious fragrance
of flowers—Nature s perfumes. I may here
relate an instance, not irrelevant to the case,
at illustrative of how severe a privation is
he loss of smell. Among my patients was a
lady, at great sufferer from-Catarrh, one of
the effects of which was the loss of the
sense of smell. On one of my visits to her
residence, 1 was told by the servant that
shered me in, that she was in the garden—
n occupation she took great pleasure in.
Being a charming s rilig day,l woul not
ave her interru leg, u’t prgceederl to the
arden, where’I ound her busy, with the as-
istance of the gardener, trailing the tendrils
of some of the more delicate plants. Being
myself passionately fond of fIOWers,I was
enchanted. It was a splendid garden, full
of the choicest flowers—beautiful to the eye
and exotic to the smell. After a few cursory
remarks, I observed to her that were it not
for proof posrtive to the contrary I might
imagine myself in fairy land. “Yes, very
beautiful the flowers are,” she replied. “Bub,

pression she turned to me,aud said, in man-
ner which I have never forgotten, E‘You for?
get that I cannotsmell; and." continued ihe,
“frequently have Ialmost determined to
give up this, to me great pleasure, as half of
it is lost in not being able to enjoy their
fragrance. They are to me, as children
speaking, and I cannot hear their sweet
prattle—the very knowledge of the loss of
which I am constantly reminded of when-
ever I come near them, and the more deter-
mines me to entrust them to the care of some
one else My, senge of smell wag ORG-e so
acute'that I’ up annoyed 'ly' the slightest '
diaagreeabie smell, one which many others
would not notice; so reat-was the annoy-
ance, that may times have wished I could
not smell anything. It was an Idle wish.
and little did I think I should beso severely
punished for my want of a preciation of
one of God’s greatest gifts. ow I whuld
give anything if; could smell again, even
were it‘ the most obnofx qus odol'." The
sense of smell hit-s another and more direct
duty, though, this; 'it is given as a guard to
the air passages that we may avoid the in:
lialtion of snph odors as may be injurious,
and to the detection of the improper unli-
ties of food. To illustrate this taller re "ark,
let any one take the must urbirlatic 'sub-’
stance N! the mOuth, observing lit the same

will,find, as long as they keep h close ,
they will not have the s ightest appreciation
of its odor or flavor, but the instant the nos-
trils are at liberty they will get the flavor
and odor of it. This is the reason why chil-
drcns nostrils are closed when given nause-
ous medicines, and shows how necessary
the sense of smell is to that of taste.
The perversion of smell is nearly if not
quite as bad as its loss. It is caused by-a
disease of the olfactory 'nerve, re's‘al’t‘ing'

sometimes retain a disagreeable odor inhaled

me an instance of his having visited a friend
who had been poisoning rats; the rats hav-
ing died in their holes filled the house with
a terrible eflluvia. The smell was so natt-
seous that he did not remain in the house
