Chronic Laryngitis, the most common
form of laryngeal disease. is a distressing
malady. 1t Injuries the voice, and fire.
quently ends in consumption. The sym
toms are mild IN the beginning, and liza
BILE to mislead the patient into the idea
that there is no danger. Sometimes a
little pain is felt in the larynx, but more
commonly only tickling sensation in
the throat, which excite slight coughing.
Usually the breathing is loud and stribu-
lous, and the voice hoarse, but as the dis.
ease advances it grows feeble, until
scarcely audible. If liberation of the vo-
cal cords takes place, the voice is ruined.
These symptoms are only present in
the severer forms of Chronic Laryngitis;
in the majority of cases only feeling of
obstruction in the throat is felt, and the
effort to clear this something away occu-
pies considerable time in every CONVEX
sation. The effect of Chronic Laryngitis
on the membrane is to thicken it. Its
surface becomes hard, and rough, inter
fering with the free action of the vocal
cords.
Chronic Laryngitis mostly arises from
excessive use of the voice. 1t is COM
mon with clergymen, lawyers, and pub
lie speakers. The vocal cords, by strain
ing and over use, lose their flexibility.
There are many phases of this disease,
from the slight huskiness with which
clergymen suffer, to the total loss of
voice, accompanied with cough and ex.
pectoration Of frothy mocus.
The most intimate connection exists
between affections of the throat and lar
ynx. The reason is easily understood.
Every breath inhaled passes over the in
| famed throat into the larynx.
Chronic Laryngitis occurs in advanced
stage of consumption, when pus is dis
charged from the lungs. 1t is a distress
ing complication with consumption, and
adds much to the patients suffering. 1t
terminates in destruction of the vocal
cords by liberation of the cartilages
Chronic Laryngitis should be treated as
early as possible but the remedies must
not be poured into the stomach.
The treatment consists in the use of in.
Misunderstanding, astringnet or altera
tive as the case may require-and, in the
proper employment of medicatad washes
Inow come to speak of Catarrh in the
trachea and bronchial tube.
Very respectfully,
