BRONCHITIS.
Acute Bronchitis is saniniiammationo Of the
mucus membrane Of the bronchial tubes,
and is one OF the most common OF the pull
monary diseases. IL Is dangerous disease.
as It prevents the oxygenation of tho blood.
and In many cases, particularly after II
passes into the chronic stage. the substance
Of the lungs becomes seriously involved,
giving rise 20 what Il very properly called
there Is a sense Of ughtness or pressure
across the chest, with considerable wheez-
| ing, severe cough and expectoratIon. This
is at nrst white glairy mucus. which after
some cases is obliged TO sit up in bed, the
oppression across the chest Is 80 great; the
skin is ciammy and prostration rapidly sets
| in, and in fatal cases there VIII be mutter-
ing delirium, coma and death.

Chronic Bronchitis Is also an infiam.
nation of the mucous membrane OF

on the lungs the disease either ends
in bronchitis or pneumonia. II it ends In
bronchitis ii usually passes on as a 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 expectoratfon
OF thick mucus, followed by a hectic flush,
loss of flesh 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 StABe OF tne ulsebet tue mucub
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 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 air
cells of the lungs, The patient dies from
exhaustion aud suffocation. being unable
10 expectorate the muous which accumu
lates In the passage leading to the lungs,
| which in some cases is sticky and small In
quantity, but more commonly copiou !, of q
light straw or yellowsh green. Otentimes
streaks of blood make their appearance In
/ the mucus, and at times there Is q disagree
able smell. Persons thus afflicted are veryli-
/ able to take cold at which times the mucus
becomes clear and frothy. and 1t is not un-
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 incurable
| form, which soon carries the sufferer to
that bourne from which no traveller ever re-
turns.
