w. CHRONIC. BRONCHITIS.
Bronchitis is an inaammatih 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. Whea q cold settles on lhe lungs the dis.
ease either ends in bronchitspr pusllmonia. II
It ends In bronchitis It usually passes on as a
cold on the chest, and still the patient does not
feel ent reiy well. lie feels tired and languid,
and is incapable Of taking hit usual amount OF
exercise and experiences shprtness CT breath,
with more or ies3 warmth N the palms OF his
hands. Soon after this couth appears. accom-
panied by an expectoration OF thick mucous fol-
lowed by hectic fiush loss OF flesh and strength
and night sweats continue when the patient as
sumes all the appearances OF having genuine
case Of consumption. Iut this Is simply Ca
tarrh OF the lungs or chronic bronchitis.
In rhe later stage OF the disease the mucous
membrane Of the larger bronthisl tube softens,
while In the smaller tubes ahd air cells Of the
lungs the mucous membrane becomes congested
and dinfamed. There are no cayitos nor tubersles
In tho 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 yellswisli
green Oftentimess streaks OF blood make their
appearance In the mucous, and at times there Is
disagreeable SMELL Persons thus afflicted are
liable to take cold, at which timo 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 J
Is so called from the profuse quantity Of watery
secretions which comes from the air passages Of
the lungs. At times II becomes quite ropy, like
the white of an egg. This form OF disease usu-
ally attacks old people,
Dry f3ronchitis-fhis disease, the very oppo-
site Of the above, is very common ahection.
Very many people who regard themselves quito
healthy are today under its influence. and are
slowly but surely becoming the victims Of this
treacherous complaint. This IS the most insidi
GUS Of oil pulmonary diseases There may at
first be slight, hacking cough, and an expcto'
ration Of BLUSH white mucous. And herein
lies the danger: This mucous, nhabiting the
air coils Of the lungs being difficult to raise, af
ter time becomes solidihed, permanently OBJ
structing portions Of the lungs, causing short
ness Of breath and feeling Of oppression on the
chest, particularly after meals or on slight exer-
tion. After time the cough becomes more
we're and comes on In paroxysms, and as the
shortness Of breath increases. 1t almost assumes
the character Of asthma The mucous mem
brane also becomes more and more thickened,
which arises from the frequent fresh colds, and
the patient at last becomes fully aware Of the
terrible changes that have taken place, and the
inevitable results that are to follow.
Inhalation 10 the only system which will cure
these diseases, and yet the treatment Of the two
the irritation. while in the other We must slim
ulate healthy action.
This will convince us OF the nece sity Of fully
understanding the systems Of Medicated lnhala-
tions In the treatment Of the various diseases q
OF the pulmonary organs, for when properly ap
piled there Is no system of medicine to be COM
pared with It.
Those who desire to consult me in regard to
their case had better call personally for an ex.
animation. but II Impossible to do so, may write
for list Ct Questions and Medical Treaties.
