BRONCHITIS.
Acute Bronchitis Is an Inflammation OF the
macus membrane Of the bronchial tubes.
monary diseases. It is a dangerous disease.
6 Il prevents the oxygenation 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
IL al frst white glairy mucus, which after
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 Ia clsmmy and prostration rapidly sets
In, and in fatal cases there will be mutter-
ing delirium, coma and death.
CHRONIC BRONCHITIS.
Chronic Bronchitis Is also an infiam-
nation of the mucous membrane of
bronchial tubes. When cold settles
ON the lungs the disease either ends
in bronchitis or pneumonia. II IL 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 il Incapable Of taking his usual amount
OF exercise and experiences shoItness 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 hectic flush,
loss Of flesh and strength and night sweets
appearances Of having q 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 the smaller tuhea and air
cells of the lungs the mucus membrane be
comes congested and infiamed. 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 tubes and ali
cells of the lungs. The patient dies from
exhaustion aud suffocation. being unable
to expectorate the mucus which accumu
lates In the passage leading to the lungs
which in some cases is sticky and small In
quantity, but more commonly copi0u OF a
| light straw or yellowssh green. 0;tentimes
streaks of blood make their appearance IN
the mucus, and at times there is a disagree
able SMELL Persons thus afflicted are very IL
able TO take cold, at which times the mucus
becomes clear and frothy, and It is not un-
commonly the case that the patient dies in
one Of these attacks.
II wonld be wise. therefore. for all those
who desire our services to 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.
