Catarrh is mnoying enough when it chokes up your nostrils and air passages, causing painful and diffi cult breathing and other discomforts. But the real danger comes when it reaches down into your lungs. This is why you should at once realize the importance of the proper treatment, and lose no time experi menting with worthless remedies which touch only the surface.
