according to the part affected. If the

discharges, or the fot matlon of dry
scabs, corresponding to the stage of

When In the pharjnx It causes hawk
ing, enlarged follicles and tonsils, and
sometimes deafness. In the larynx It
produces hoarseness, and often loss of
voice. As soon as It reaches the tra

abundant mucous expectoration, en
