But all may, Without special preparation or unusual application, learn something of their structure and functions, the causes, nature, and symptoms of the more common of their diseases, and the gen eral principles of their prevention and cure.
A prominent physician, F. Seeger, M. D., declares in a late issue of the Popular Science Monthly, (december, 1877) that it has been estimated that of our people have the disease called catarrh to a greater or less degree, and the observation and experience of nearly twenty years, devoted largely to the-study and treatment of this malady, convince me that its prevalence has not been overestimated.
