CHRONIC BRONCHITIS
Bronchitis is an Inflammation Of tho mucous
membrane 0f the bronchial tubes, and Is one Of
the most common OF the lhlmonary affections
Chronic bronchitis more often appears later in
life When a cold settles dn the lungs the dis.
ease either ends in bronchitis or pneumonia II
1t ends IN bronchitis 1t ukially passes of as u
cold on the chest and still the patient does not
feel ent irey well. lie feet tired and anguid,
and 10 inca l,abe Of taking his usual amount Of
exercise and experiences Ishortness CT breath,
with more or less warmth IN the palms Of his
hands, Soon after this cbugh appears, accom-
panied by an expectoratioI OF thick mucous fol-
lowed by hectic flush, losb Of nesh and strength
and night sweats continue when the patient as
suues all the appearances OF having q genuine
case Of consumption. Eht this is simply ca
tarrh Of the lungs or chro,tc bronchitis.
In rhe later stage OF t4c disease thu mucous
membrane OF the larger brbnchAl tubs softens,
while In the smaller tub u aud air cells Of the
lungs the mucous membrs,he becomes congested
and iniamed There are nd cavities nor tuberoles
In the lungs. but merely wasting away Of the
larger bronchial tubes u ID death takes place
from obstruction Of the bronchial tubes and air
cells Of the lungs. The patient dies from ex-
haustion and sufYocation, being unable to expec-
torate the mucous which sccuinulates In the pas
sage leading to the lungs, which In some cases
10 sticky and small In quantity, but more COM
monty copious. Of light straw or yellewish
green Oftentimesi streaks Of blood make their
appearance In the mucous. and at times there is
adisagreeable smell. Persons thus afflicted are
liable to take cold, at which time the Mucous
becomes clear and frothy, and 1t Ia not unconi-
monty the case that the patient dies In one Of
these attacks.
Humid bronchitis (irom humor, 10 be molst,) }
is 30 called from the protise quanuty Of watery
secretions which comes from the tr passages OF
the lungs. At times II becomes quite ropy, like
the white Of an egg. This form Of disease usu-
ally attacks old people.
Dry BronchItis-This disease. tn. very oppo.
site Of the above, Is very commin affection.
Very many people who regard thenselve, quite
healthy are to day under Its influence. aud are
slowly but surely becoming the victims OF this
treacherous complaint. This Is The most ins'di.
Gus 9f all pulmonary diseases. There may at
Hrst be slight. hacking cough. AMI an expcto-
ration Of q bluish.white n ucous. And herein
lies the danger. This mucous. iniabitng the
air cells Of the lungs, being dncult to raise, af-
ter time becomes soliaifed, permanently OBJ
strustlng portions Of the lungs, cusing short
ness Of breath and feeling II 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 paroxysms and as the
shortness Of breath increa.os, II almost assumes
the character Of asthma. The mucous men,
brane also becomes more and moe thckened,
which arises from the frequent fresh colds, and
the patient at last becomes fully ;ware Of the
terrible changes that have taken pace, and the
inevitable results that are TO follow
Inhalation is the only system whi,h 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 We must stim-
ulate healthy action
This will convince US OF the nece sity Of fully
understanding the systems Of MedHated lnhala-
tons In the treatment Of the various diseases OF
Of the pulmonary organs, for when properly APP
piled there Is no system Of medione to be COM
pared with 1t.
Those who desire to consult ne in regard to
their case had better call personally for an ex.
animation, but il Impossible to d, so, may write
for list Ct Questions and Medical Treaties.
