Theso-called internal styptics are useless. The injection of gelatine solution,once so much in vogue, is not now used, as it is dangerous. Anaemia fromexposure and persistent epistaxis is considered in the chapter on Fig. 60.—Dog with chronic catarrh and pus in the frontal sinuses. Tumors of the Nasal Cavities. These may be indicated by a swelling or alteration of the nostril orthe adjacent structures; frequently osteo-sarcomas involve the nasalseptum, palate or superior maxilla, the new growth absorbing or dis-turbing the normal anatomy of these structures and carcinomas convert-ing the bones into soft cellular structures. Polyps are sometimes pres-ent and are removed either by tortion or by removing the nasal boneand getting into the nasal cavity. Catarrh and Pus in the Frontal Sinuses. This may result from traumatisms or from pentastomes (see later)or new formations in the frontal sinuses, as a result of nasal catarrh,indicated by swelling and dulness on percussion of the frontal sinuses(see Fig. 60). Acute catarrh of the frontal sinus may result as a sequelof influenza; as a rule, however, it is spontaneously absorbed. If it is CATARRH OF THE NOSE 13
