| formerly of Detroit, Mich, office 276 North Main
street, LcsArgeles California.
| All diseases OF the respiratory organs treated
| by the most improved medic,ted nhalations,
| thus bringing the remedies into direct contact
with the diseased part These are in oil cases
combined with proper constitutional remedies
| for the liver, stomach. nervous system and blood
etc.
Bronchitis is an Inflammation OF the mucous
membrane Of the bronchial tubes. and Is one Of
the most common Of the pulmonary affections.
Chronic bronchitis more often appears later in
life. When a cold settles on the lungs the dis.
ease either ends in bronchitis or pneumonia. II
1t ends In bronchitis IL usually passes of as
cold on the chest and still the patient docs not
feel cnt irely we'll, He feels tired and languid.
| and Is incapable Of taking his usual amount OF
exercise and experiences khortness CT breath,
with more or less warmth In the palms OF his
hands. Soon after this cough appears, accom-
| panied by an expectoration OF thick mucous fol-
lowed by hectic Hush, loss OF flesh and strength
and night sweats continue when tho patient a.
| sumes all the appearances OF having u genuine
| case Of consumption. but this is simply
| tarrh Of the lungs or chronic bronchitis
| In rhe later stage of the disoase the mucous
membrane Of thu larger bronshial tub. softens,
| while In the smaller tubes ard air cells OF the
| lungs the mucous membrane becomes congestei
| and nfamed There are no cavities nor tubercles
in the lungs but merely wasting away Of the
| larger bronchial tubes and death takes place
from obstruction OF the bronchial tubes and air
cells Of the lungs. The patient dies from ex-
haustion and suffocation, being unable to expec-
| torate the mucous which accumulates in the pas
| sage leading to the lungs, which in some cases
| Is sticky and small In quantity, but more com
monty copious. Of light straw or yellewish
green Oftentimesa streaks Of blood make their
| appearance in the mucous, and at times there Is
| a disagreeable smell. Persons thus afflicted are
liable to take q cold, at which time the mucous
becomes clear and frothy, and 1t is not uncom-
monty the case that the patient dies in one OF
these attacks.
Humid bronchitis (irom humor, to be moist, }
Is so called from the profuse quantity OF watery
secretons which comes from the air passages Of
the lungs. At times 1t becomes quite ropy, like
the white Of an egg. This form OF disease usu-
ally attacks old people.
Dry Bronchitis This disease, the very oppo-
site OF the above, is very common affection.
Very many people who regard themselves quite
healthy are to day under its influence and are
slowly but surely becoming the victims Of this
treacherous complaint This Is the most insidi-
| ous Of all pulmonary diseases There may at
first be slight, hacking cough, and an expeto-
| ration Of bluish-white mucous. And herein
lies the danger This mucous, inhabiting the
air cells OF the lungs, being difficult to raise, af-
| ter time becomes solisifed. permanently OF
structing portions Of the lungs, causing short
ness Of breath and feeling Il oppression on the
chc.t. particularly after meals or on slight exer-
tion After q time the cough becomes more se-
we're aud comes on in paroxy SINS, and as the
shortness OF breath increa,es it almost assumes
| the character Of asthma. The mucous mem
brane also becomes more and more thickebed,
which arises from the frequent fresh colds, and
the patient at last becomes fully aware Of the
terrible CHI Anges that have taken place. and the
inevitable results that are to follow.
Inhalation is the only system which will euro
those DISEASES, and yet the treatment Of the two
are entirely different. In the enc we must ALA,
the irritation, while in the other We must stim-
ulate healthy action
This will convince of the nece sity Of fully
understanding the systems Of Medcated lnhala-
tions In the treatment Of the various diseases of
OF the pulmonary organs, for when properly APP
pl'ed there is no system Of medicine to be com
pared with 1t.
Those who desire to consult me in regard to
their case had better call personally for an exss
animation, but II Impossible TO do SO, may write
