called incurable cases, the greater part Of
whom had not the slightest idea OF ever
being cured.
BRONCHITIS.
Acute Bronchitis Ia an Inflammation of the
mncus mem brane of the bronchial tubes,
and is one of the most common OF the pull
monsry diseases. 1t is dangerous disease,
as 1t 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 whees-
ing, severe cough and expectoration. This
Is al frst white glairy mucns. which after
time becomes .purulent. The patient In
some cases is obliged to sit up In bed, the
oppression across the chest is 80 great; the
skin is clammy and prostratlon rapidly sets
in, and In fatal cases there Will Dc mutter-
ing deliriun., coma and death.
CHRoNIC BRONCHITIS.
Chronic Bronchitis IL also an innam-
nation OF the mucus membrane of
bronchial tubes. When cold settles
on the lungs the disease either ends
in bronchitis or pneumonia. II 1t ends In
bronchitis il usually passes of as q cold on
the chest, and still the patient does not feel
entirely well. He feels tired and langnid,
and is incapable of taking his usual amount
OF exercise and experiences shortness OF
palms of his hands Soon after this cough
appears, accompanied by an expectoratfon
OF thick mucus, followed by hectic hush,
loss of flesh and strength and night sweats
appearances of having 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 tubes and air
| cells of the lungs the mucus membrane be
| comes congested and iuhamed. There are
! no cavities nor tubercles in the lungs. but
| merely wasting away OF the larger bron
| ehial tuhes and death takes place from OBJ
struetion OF the bronchial tubes end all
| cells of the lungs. The patient dies from
| exhaustion aud suffocsion. being unable
to expectorate the mucus which accumu
lates In the passage leading to the lungs,
which in 20 ne cases 10 sticky and small In
quantity, but more commonly copfou OF .
light straw or yellow'sh green. Oitentimes
sfreaks of blood make their appearance In
the mueus. 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 1t is not uu-
commonly the case that the patient dies In
one of these attacks.
II would be wise, therefore, for all those
who desire our services to apply early, be
fore the disease has assumed an incurabie
form, which soon carries the sufferer to
that bourne from which no traveller ever re-
turns.
