Two Kinds Of Pmeu usOnia.

From the St Louis Globe Democrat
There are two distinct forms OF pneumonia. One
OF these always follows an attack OF bronchitis IA
cold In the lungs; in this the lung is inhamed In
patches or lobules scattered over both lungs alike
This Is the form that Is fatal In children and old
people. 1t Is termed catarrhal pneumonia. The
other, that which attacks adults suddenly, often In
the midst OF apparent health, IS called ''croupous
or l0oar pneum0nia," because one lobe only or one
lung Is usually attacked. The last-named form is
not caused by cold, although the nrst symptom
Ia severe chill with shiveflng, which would seem
TO show that chilling OF the body had really
caused the whole trouble. The catarrhal form al
ways follows catarrh octhe bronchial tubes; 1T Is
never the first event In chain OF disease but al
ways secondary. This form Is probably sometimes
caused by exposure TO cold-it certainly Is II any
catarrh Is thus caused. Although there are many
plausible reasons for thinking that cold never
causes "a cold" there are some facts that seem to
prove that catarrh OF the air passages may thus
be caused. II one OF the lower animals, q frog for
example, have portion OF its surface thoroughly
chilled by the application OF Ice or O freezing
im,xssrs II often happens that both lungs become
consequence. II this congestion be repeated two
o. tnree times. genuine catarrhal pneumonia re-
eoltA This sequence OF events y TOO constant
N occurrence 20 be considered mere coancidonce.
