BRONCHITIS. CONSUMPTION.
And all the various diseases OF the Head Throat
and Chest, including the EYE, Ear aud Heart
specially treated by NJ HILTON WILLIAMS, Nj. d.,
formerly OF Detroit, Mich, office 275 North MAR
street, LosAngeles, California.
All diseases OF the respiratory organs treated
by the most improved medicated limitations
thus bringing the remedies into direct contact
with the diseased part. These are in all cases
combined with proper constitutional remedies
Tor the liver stomach, nervous system and blood
etc.
CHRONIC BRONCHITIS.
Bronchitis is an Inflammation Of the muceu,
membrane OF the bronchial tubes. and is one o.
the most common Of the pulmonary affections
Chronic bronchitis more often appears later II
Iife When q cold settles on the lungs the dis
ease either ends in bronchitis or pneumonia. II
II ends In bronchitis II usually passes off as
cold on the chest, and still the patient does mol
feel cnt irey we'll He feels tired and languid
and is incapable Of taking his usual amount o
exercise and experiences a shortness Of breath
with more or less warmth in the palms Of hi,
hands. Soon after this cough appears, accom-
panied by an expectoraton OF thick mucous fol
lowed by hectic flush, 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 the 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 tuberocs
In the lungs, but merely a 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'
haustien and suffocaton, being unable to expec-
torate the mucous which accumulates in the pas
sage leading to the lungs, which In some cases
is sticky aud small In quantity, but more com
monty copious. Of light straw or yellewisi
green Oftentimess streaks Of blood make theil
appearance in the mucous, and at times there Il
a disagreeabe smell. Persons thus afflicted are
liable to take cold. at which time the mdcoui
becomes clear and frothy, and 1t is not uncom
monty the case that the patient dies in one o.
these attacks.
Humid bronchitis Orom humor, to be moist,
Is so called from the profuse quantity of watery
secretions which comes from the air passages o.
the lungs. At times 1t becomes quite ropy, lik,
the white Of an egg. This form OF disease usu
ally attacks old people.
Dry Bronchits-This disease, the very oppo
site OF the above, is a very common affection
Very many people who regard themselves quit,
healthy are to day under its influence, and are
slowly but surely becoming the victims of thi,
treachcrous complaint. This is the most insidi
Gus OF all pulmonary diseases There may Al
first be slight, hacking cough, and an expeto
ration of u blush white Mucous And heroir
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 "A 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, it 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 tn,
terrible changes that have taken place, and thu
inevitable results that are to follow.
Inhalation is the only system which will cure
these diseases, and yet the treatment OF the tws
are entirely different In the one we must ALA,
the irritation, while in the other we must stim
ulate healthy action.
This will convince us of the nece sity of full,
understanding the systems of Medcated Inhala
tions in the treatment Of the various diseases o
of the pulmonary organs, for when properly ap
Piled there is no system of medicine to be com
pared with it.

animation, but II impossible to do So may writ
