SxOMCHlTIS. CONSUMPTION.
And all the various diseases o. the Head, Throat
and Chest, including the rye, Ear and Heart,
specially treated by NJ. HiLroS WILLIAMS, M, D.,
formerly Of Detroit, Mich, Office 27h North Main
street, LcsAngsles, California.
All diseases OF the respiratory organs treated
by the most improved medicated inhalations,
thus bringing the remedies into direct contact
with the diseased part These are IN all cases
combined with proper constitutional remedies
for the liver. stomach, nervous systemand blood
etc.
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.
ease either ends in bronchitis or pneumonia. II
1t ends in bronchitis 1t usually passes of as a
cold on the chest and still the patient does not
feel ent irely we'll. lie feels tired and languid,
and is incapable Of taking his usual amount OF
exercise and experiences q shortness Of 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 flush, loss OF flesh and strength
and night sweats continue when the patient AS
su,nes all the appearances OF having genuine
case OF consumption. But this ia siniply Ca
tarrh 0f the lungs or chronic bronchitis.
In rhe later stage OF the disease the mucous
membrane Of til, larger bronchial tube soitens,
while in tho smaller tubes and air cells OF the
lungs the mucous membrane becomes congested
and inflamed. There are no cavities nor tuheroles
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-
hsust,en and suifocation, being unable to expec-
torate the mucous which accunlulates 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 yellowish
green Oftentimes streaks OF blood make their
appearance in the mucous. and at times there is
q disagreeabe smell. Persons thus afflicted are
liable to take q cold, at which time the Mucous
becomes clear and frothy, and 1t 10 net 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
secretions 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-
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 insid-
ous Of all pulmonary diseases. There may at
first be slight, hacking cough, and an expcto-
ration OF u buishwhite mucous. And herein
lies the danger. This mucous, inhabting the
air cells Of the lungs, being difficult to raise, af-
ter time becomes soliai6ed, permanently OBJ
structing portions Of the lungs, causing short
ness of breath and feeling Of oppression Oh the
chest particularly after meals or on slight exer
tien. After time the cough becomes more Sc
we're and Gomez on in paroxysms, and as the
shortness OF breath increases, IL almost assumes
the character Of asthma The mucous men,
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 ken place, and the
inevitable results that are to follow.
Inhalation il the only system which will cure
these diseases, and yet the treatment OF the two
are entirely different. In the ono we must allay
the irritation. while in the other we must stim-
ulate healthy action
This will convince us 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 ap-
piled there is no system OF medicine to be COM
pared with IL.
Those who desire To consult me in regard to
their case had better call personally for an OK.
