| BRONCHITIS.
Acute Bronchitis is an inflammation OF the
mucus mem brane Of the bronchial tubes.
and is one of the most coripon OF the pull
monary diseases. 1t is dangerous disease.
as IL prevents the oxygenati0n of the blood,
and In many cases, particularly after 1t
passes into the chronic stage, the substance
OF the lungs becomes seriously involved,
giving rise TO what is very properly called
Bronchial Consumption. In the acute form
there Is a sense of tightness or pressure
across the chest, with considerable wheez-
ing, severe cough and expectoration- This

some cases Is Obliged to sit up in bed, the
oppression across the chest is so great; the
skin is ciammy and prostratfOn rapidly sets
in, and in fatal cases there will be mutter'

In tho later stage Of the disease the mucui

softens, while IN the smaller tubes and all
cells OF the lungs the mucus membrane be

no cavities nor tubercles In the lungs, but
merely . wasting away Of the larger bron

cells OF the lungs. The patient dies from

which In so ne cases is sticky and small In
quantity, but more commonly copfou of 3

who desire our services to apply early, be-

form, which soon carries the suherer to
that bourne from which no traveller ever re-
turns.
