NASAL POLYPI. 



These growths are of a fibrous character. Thej become Larger 

 and obstruct the air passages. If situated low down, they can be 



easily seen. They 

 should be removed 

 with the ecraseur, 

 or grasped, at their 

 necks, with a for- 

 cejis and tmsted oflF. 



NASAL GLEET j 



Is a catarrhal dis- 

 ease, characterized 

 by a defluction from 

 the nostrils. It may 

 arise, however, 

 from other causes 

 than catarrhal in- 

 flammation, such as external injury and disease of the upper 

 molars. It may result from a sub-acute inflammation of the 

 mucous membrane lining the nasal chamber, or from a neglected 

 case of simple catarrh; by long exposure and neglect, or from 

 injury, or caries of the teeth. In catarrhal affections the lining 

 membrane of these sinuses, by extension of the inflammation of 

 the Schneiderian membrane, becomes diseased, and pours out a 

 quantity of pus, which, lodging in the various compartments of 

 the sinuses, becomes a source of irritation, which, if not removed, 

 will cause absorption of the bony plate. 



Symptoms. — There will be an irregular discharge from one 

 nostril. The discharge at first is white; after awhile it becomes 

 more yellow and adheres to the nostrils. Percussion over the 

 region of the sinuses yields a dull, dead sound. The eye on the 

 side that is affected will look dim, the upper lid will often droop 

 a little, and there ma^ be a rough appearance of the hair over the
