BRONCHITIS. CONSUMPTION.
And all the various diseases OF the Head, Throat
and Chest. including the tyc, Ear and Heart,
specially treated By N. Huron WILLIAMS. NJ. d,
formerly Of Detroit, Mich, office 27j North Main
street, LesAngeles, California.
All diseases OF the respiratory organs treated
by the most improved medicated inhalationsi
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.
bronchitis Is an Inflammation of the mucous
membrane of the bronchial tubes, ami Is one o
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 it usually passes on as
cold on the chest, and still the patient does not
siee ent irely we'll He feels tired and Mnguid,
and is incapable Of taking his usual amount OF
exercise and experiences shortness CT breath,
with more or less warmth In the palms OF his
hands. Soon after this a cough appears, accom-
panied by an expectoration Of thick mucous fol-
lowed BY hectic iitlsh loss OF flesh and strength
and night sweats continue when the patient as
sumes all the appearances OF having genuine
case OF consumption. But this is simply ca
tarrh Of the lungs or chronic bronchitis.
In rhe 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 congested
and inhamed. There are no cavities nor tuberoles
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. he patient dies from ex-
haustion and suifocation, being unable to expec-
torate the mucous which accun, ulates in the pas
sage leading to the lungs, which in some cases
is sticky and small in quantity, but more com
monty copious. OF a light straw or yellswish
green Oftentin.ess streaks OF blood make their
appearance in the mucous. and at times there Is
disagreeabe smell. Persons thus afflicted are
liable to take 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 (from humor, to be moist
IL 30 called from the proftise quantity OF watery
secretions which comes from the air passages OF
the lungs At times it becomes quite ropy. like
the white OF an egg. This form OF disease usu-
ally attacks old people.
Dry Broncitis-This disease, the very orpo
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
treaclerois complaint. This is the most insIdi-
GUS Of all pulmonary diseases. There may at
first be a slight, hacking cough, and an expeto-
ration OF bluishwhte 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 OH
structing portions Of the lungs. causing short
ness Of breath and feeling cf oppression on the
chest particularly after meals or on slight exer-
tion. After time the cough becomes more Sc
we're and comes on in paroxysnls, and as the
shortncss OF breath increases. it almost assumes
the character Of asthma. The mucous mem-
brane also becomes more and more thckencd
which arises from the frequent fresh colds and
the patient at last becomes fully aware OF the
terrible changes that have t,ken place, and the
inevitable results that are to follow.
Inhalation is the only system which viii cure
these diseases, and yet the treatment of the two
are entirely different. In the one we must ALA,
the irritation, While in the other we must slim
uate healthy action
This will convince us OF tho nece sity Of fully
understanding the systems Of Medcated lnhaa-
tions 10 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,
Those who desire TO consult me In regard to
their case had better call personally for an ex.
animation. but IL Impossible TO do so, may write
for list Ct Questions and Medical Treaties
