Acute Bronchitis, like other infiamatory

| change from heated TO cool atmosphere.
The symptoms vary according to the severi-
| ty of the attack, and more especially accord.
| ing TO the extent to which the infiamatory
| action spreads IN the bronchial tubes. The
disease usually manifests itself at first in the
| form of a catarrh, or common cold. but the
accompanying feverishness and general con
stitutional distu ibance proclaim the attack
to be something more severe, and symptoms
denoting the onset of bronchitis soon pre-
sent themselves. A short, painful. dry
cough, accompanied with rapid aud wheel
fng respiration. a feeling of rawness and pain
| in the throat and behind the breast bone,
and OF oppression or tightness throughout
the chest mark the early stages Of the dis
ease.
In some cases, from the first, symptoms OF
the form OF asthma known as bronchitis, are

of time, often extending for three or four
weeks, In the majority of instances conval-

| in advanced cases Of the disease the cough
