BRONCHITIS,
! Acute Bronchitis is an inflammation OF the
mncus membrane of the bronchial tubes,
and Is one OF the most common OF the pull
monary diseases. II Is a dangerous disease,
as it prevents the oxygenation of the blood.
aud In many cases, particularly after 1t
passes into the chronic stage, the su bstance
| Of the lungs become seriously involved,
giving rise to what is very properly called
Bronchial Consumption. In the acute form
there is sense of tightness or pressure
across the chest. with considerable Wheel
ing, severe cough and expectoration. This
Is al first white glairy mucus, which alter
time becomes .purulent. The patient In
some cases is obliged to sit up In bed, the
oppression across the chest Is SO great; the
skin Is clammy and prostration rapidly sets
In, and In fatal cases there will be mutter-
ing delirium, coma and death.
CHRoNIC BRONCHITIS.
Chronic Bronchitis Ia also an inaam-
nation of the mucus membrane of
ON the lungs the disease either ends
in bronchitis or pneumonia II 1t ends In
bronchitis 1t usually passes of as cold ON
the chest and still the patient does not feel
entirely we'll He feels tired and langutd,
and Is incapable Of taking his usual amount
OF exercise and experiences shortness of
breath, with more or less warmth in the
palms Of his hands. Soon after this cough
appears, accompanied BY an expectorstl1n
loss OF flesh and strength and night sweets
continue, when the patient assumes all the
appearances Of having a genuine case OF
consumption. But this ID simply catarrh of
the lungs or chrome bronchitis.
In the later stage ofthe disease the mucus
membrane Of the larger bronchial tube
softens, while In he smaller tubes and air
cells Of the lungs the niucus membrane be-
comes congested and inhamed. There are
no cavities nor tubercles In the lungs. but
merely wasting away Of the larger bron
chial tubes and death takes place from OBJ
struction OF The bronchial tubee and air
cells of the lungs. The patient dies from
exhaustion aud snffocstion. being unable
to expectorate the mucus which accumu
lates In the passage leading to the lungs,
which in so ne cases Is sticky and small In
quantity, but more commonly copiou /, of a
Light straw or yellow'sh green. Oitentimes
streaks of blood make their appearance In
the mucus, and at times there is disagree
able smell. Persons thus afflicted are very IL
able to take cold, at which times the mucus
becomes clear and frothy, and IL is not un-
commonly the case that the patient dies In
one OF these attacks.
1t would be wise. therefore. for all those
who desire our services to apply early, be-
fore the diaease bus ass tuned an incursble
form, which soon carries the sufferer to
that bourne from which no traveller ever re-
turns.
