A tendency to ?aso-motor paresis of a diathetic or hereditary nature, which,m certain subjects constitutes the basic lesion of bronchial asthma, will in thesame individual underlie the development of nasal myxomata. The influence of hypertrophic rhinitis on the etiology and treatment is wellillustrated in the following history: Miss T . set. ten years. Total obstruction of the left nostril of one years duration. Enormous hypertrophy of the inferior turbinated polypi were closely impacted between the turbinated bodies and theseptum : they proceeded from the middle meatus, and were continuously im-bedded in a mass of thick, viscid muco-purulent secretion (Figs. 4 and 5). The Fig. Fig. 5. Polypi in the Middle Meatus,caused by hypertrophy ofthe inferior turbinated body(child aged ten years).
