There are few local artists better known to
the public generally than Mr.. Montague Hem
ming of 40S Wabasha street, st. Paul Heis
an intelligent young Englishman, and the
following interview with him will be read
with more than ordinary interest:

The fntricacies of the Trouble Ex.

When catarrh has existed in the head and
the upper part OF the throat for any Length

people are subject to catarrhal affection-and
the disease has been left uncured, the ca.

down the wind-pipe and into the bronchial
tubes, which tubes convey the air to the diff.
ferent p arts of the lungs. The tubes become
affected from the swelling and the mucus
arising from catarrh and in some instancef
become plugged up so that the air cannot
get in as freely as it should. Shortness OF
breath 1olOWS ana Inc patient br6atheS with
labor and difficulty.
n either case there is sound of cracking
and wheeling inside the chest. At this stage
of the disease the breathing is usually more
rapid than when in health. The patient alss
has hot flashes over his body
The pain which accompanies this condition
is of dull character, felt in the chest, be.
hind the breast bone or under the shoulde1
blade. The PAIN may come and go-laSt q few
days and then be absent for several others
The cough that occurs in the first stages Of
bronchial catarrh Is dry, comes on at inter
vals is hacking in character and usually mosl
troublesome in the morning on arising or or
going to bed at night, and 1t may be the first
evidence of the disease extending into the
lungs.
AT first there may be nothing brought uI
by the cough; then there is little tough, te
naciOuS mucuS, which the patient finds great
difficulty in bringing up.
Sometimes there are fits of coughing induced
by the tough mucuS-so violent as to caus(
vomiting. Later on, the mucus that is raised
is found to contain small particles of yellow
matter which indicates that the small tubes IL
the lungs are now affected. With this there
are often streaks of blood mixed with the mu
Gus. In some cases the patient becomes very

cough appears.
In some cases small masses of cheesy sub
stance are spit up, which, when pressed be
tween the fingers, emit bad odor. In othe.
cases particles of q hard, chalky nature arr
spit up. The raising of cheesy or chalkJ
Jumps indicates serious mischief at work il
the lungs.
In some cases catarrh will extend into the
lungs in a few weeks; in other cases it MAJ
be months, and even years, before the disease
attacks the lungs sufficiently to cause serioul
interference with the general health. WheI
the disease has developed to such point tho
patient is said to have catarrhal consumption,
With bronchial catarrh, there i S more or lesi
fever which differs with the different parts OF
the day-sight in the morning, higher in the
afternoon and evening.
Sometimes during the day the patient has
creeping chilly sensation which may last
from half an hour to an hour, the surface OF
the body feeling dry and hot. During tho
night near the morning there may be sweRJs.
Such sweats are known as night sweats.
The pulse is usually more rapid than nor.
NAL and the patient loses flesh and strength.
A fresh cold is all that is ne eded at this point
to develop rapid consumption. In some in.
stances the patient loses strength and flesh
slowly. The muscles gradually waste away.
Then the patient gradually regains some Of
his strength, only to lose it again.
A weak stomach and dislike for food
which seems to have lost Its taste, causes the
patient to think he has disease of the stom-
ach instead of the lungs. With these diarrhoea
usually occurs, and there is some disturbance
of the kidneys. In bronchial catarrh the
voice often becomes weak, husky aud hoarse.
There is d burning pain in the throat, with
difficulty in swallowing.
