How to know it.— i'he general health is not in the least affected, except, jjcrhaps, in long standing cases. There is a contiiuial flow of thick, offensive, yellowish matter that will usually sink in water. Owr nostril usually runs more than the other, and oftentimes the chronic trouble is entirely confined to one side. The face between the eyes will be found to be full, giving a dull, solid sound when tapped on each side of the median line running down the centre of the face. In longstanding, bad cases the bone of the face, referred to above, will be bulged out, and great pain evinced when tap[)ed. Pus is, naturally, the lilandest secretion of tiie body ; but i)eing con- fined, it corrupts, and then smells abominably. 1'he facial sinuses formed in Jiasal gleet, open to the nostrils on either side by two comparatively small flai)s, slits or valves. These are their only means of communica- tion with the external atmosphere ; and through these valves all the pus must flow. It is not surprising that such structures occasionally become clogged, till the accumulated secretion, or the inciHvjsed breathing, or the position of the head, obliges the passage to give way. What to do.—If the sinus is full, there is no cure for it without the operation of trephining to remove a portion of the bone, to evacuate the sinus, and give local treatment ; but if there is no bulging of the bone, it may be cured by syringing out the nostril with warm Avater to clean it, then injecting a little of lotion No. 39 with a long-nozzled syringe, using considerable force to cause a spray when it strikes the back of the nose.
