BRONCHITIS. COMsUMPTlOn.
and Chest, including the bye, Ear and Heart,
specially treated by NJ. HiLTos WILLIAMS, NJ. D.,
formerly of Detroit, Mich, office 275 North Main
street, LosAngees, California.
All diseases OF the respiratory organs treated
by the most improved medicated inhalations,
thus bringing the remedies into direct contact
with the diseased parta These are In all cases
combined with proper constitutional remedies
Tor the liver, stomach, nervous systemand 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 cold settles on the lungs the dis
ease either ends in bronchitis or pneumonia. II
cold on the chest and still the patient does not
feel ent irely we'll He feels tired and languid
and Is capable Of taking his usual amount Of
exercise and experiences shortness cf breath,
with more or less warmth In the palms Of his
hands Soon after this cough appears. accom-.
panied by an expcctoration of thick mucous fol-
lowed by hectic hush loss OF flesh and strength
and night sweats continue when the patient as
sumes all the appearances OF having a henuine
case OF consumption. But this Is simply ca
tarrh nf the lunpa q chronic brJnchitts,
In rho later stage OF the disease the mucous
membrane Of thu larger bronchial tube softens,
while In the smaller tubes and air cells OF the
lungs the mucous membrane becomes conRested
and infamed. There are no cavities nor tubereles
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-
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 yelswish
green Oftentimesi streaks OF blood make their
appearance in the mucous, and at times there Is
a disagreeabIe smell Persons thus afflicted are
liable to take cold, at which time the mucous
becomes clear and irothy, and 1t is not uncom
monty the case that the patient dies In one OF
these attacks.
Humid bronchitis (from 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 All egg. This form OF disease us'i-
ally attacks old people.
Dry Bronchitis disease, the very oppo
site Of the above, Is a 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 insldi-
Gus OF all pulmonary diseases. There may at
first be slight, hacking cough, and an expcto-
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 soliaifed, 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-
ton After a time the cough becomes more Sc
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 is the only system which will cure
these diseases, and yet the treatment OF the two
are entirely different. In the one we must allay
the irritation, while In the other must stim-
ulate healthy action.
This will convince us OF the nece sity of fully
understanding the systems of Medicated Inhala-
tions In the treatment of the various diseases of
OF the pulmonary organs, for when properly ap-
piled there is no system OF medicine to be COM
pared with it,
their case had better call personally for an ex.
animation. but il impossible to do so, may write
for list OF Questions and Medical Treaties.
