0nONOHIu
Acute Bronchitis Ia an Inflammation OF the
mncus membrane OF the bronchial tubes.
and Is one of the most common OF the pull
monary diseases. 1t is dangerous disease,
as 1t prevents the oxygenation OF the blood.
a1d In many cases, particularly after 1t
passes into the chronic stage, the substance
Of the lungs becomes Y, seriously In ,nvoiyeo;
Bronchial Consumption. In the acute form
there is a sense Of ughtness or pressure
across the chest, with considerable wheez-
ing, severe cough and expectoration. This
is al first a white glairy mucus, which after
a 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 delirtum, coma and death.
CHRONIC BRONCHITIS.
Chronic Bronchitis is also an infiam-
nation of the mucns membrane of
bronchial tubes. When q cold settles
on the lungs the disease either ends
In bronchitis or pneumonia. III IL ends in
bronchitis it usually passes OF as a cold on
the chest, and still the patient does not feel
entirely well. He feels tired and langutd,
and IL 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 expectoration
OF thick mucus, followed by a hectic hush,
loss OF hesh and strength and night sweats
continue, when the patient assumes all the
appearances Of having a genuine case Of
consumption. But this Is simply catarrh OF
the lungs or chrome bronchitis.
In the Later stage OF the disease the mucus
membrane OF the larger bronchial tube
softens, while in he smaller tubes and air
cells of the lungs the mucus membrane be-
comes congested and inflamed. 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 he bronchial tubes and air
cells ofthe lungs. The patient dies from
exhaustion aud suffocstion, being unable
to expectorate the mncus which sccumu
lates In the passage leading to the lungs
which In SO ne cases is sticky and small In
quantity, but more commonly copiou !, OF
light straw or yellow'sh green. Oltentimes
streaks of blood make their appearance in
the mucus, and at times there is a disagree
able smell. Persons thus afflicted are veryli-
able to take cold at which times the mucus
becomes clear and frothy, and II 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 10 apply early, be-
fore the disease has assumed an incurable
form, which soon carries the sufferer to
that bourne from which no traveller ever re-
turns.
