CHRONIC BRONCHITIS.
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 cold settles ON the lungs the dis

while in the smaller tubes and air cells OF the
lungs the mucous membrane becomes congested
and inilamej 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. 1he patient dies from ex-
haustion and suiiocation, being unable to expec-

appearance In the mucous, anu at times there il
disagreeable smell. Persons thus afflicted are
liable to take a cold at which time the Mucous
becomes clear and frothy, and it 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 proiuse quantity Of watery
secretions which comes from the air passages ot
the lungs. At times II becomes quite ropy, like
the white OF al egg. This form OF disease usu-
ally attacks old people.
Dry Bronchitis This disease, the very orpo
site of the above IL very common affection
Very many people who regard themselves quite
healthy are to- day under its influence and
slowly but surely becoming the victims of this
treacherous complaint This Is the most insid-
ous OF all pulmonary diseases. There may at
first be a slight, hacking cough, and an eXptto-
ration of bluish-white mucous. And herein
lies the danger This. mucous, inhahitiug the
air cells Of the lungs being difficult TO raise, af
ter time becomes solaifed. permanently OH
structing portions of the lungs, causing short
ness of breath and feeling Of oppression on the
chest, particularly after meals on slight excr-
tion. After time the cough becomes more
we're and comes on in paroxysns, and as the
shortness OF breath increases, II almost assumes
the character Of asthma. The mucous mem
brane also becomes more and more thckenej
which arises from the frequent fresh colds. and
the patient at last becomes fully aware OF the
terrible changes that have taken place, AMI the
inevitable results that are to follow.
Inhalation is the only system which will cure
these diseases, and yet the treatm, Mt OF the two
are entirely different, In the one we must ALA,
the irritation. while in the other We must slim
ulate a healthy action.
This will convince us OF the ncce sity Of fully
understanding the systems " MelcatcI lnhdli-
of the pulmonary organs, for when properly ap
piled there is system Of medicine TO be com
pared with it.
