Well; we will suppose a mild case
that Is, an ordinary case. Little treat
ment Is necessary, beyond giving
mixture Of muriste OF am
monia little bromine and syrup
OF ginger. These should be ad
ministered every two hours in small
doses. A tonic, such as elixir OF iron,
vino and quinine should also be given.
+ The chest should be rubbed with alco-
hol and turpentine. and a mustard
plaster or a blister used IL there is pain.
The patient must be kept quiet IN tho
house. The diet should be mild and
not full while the trouble remains.
II would vary the treatment in severe
cases beginning with d mustard pl2s-
ter or blister and rubbing the chest. as
T | have already suggested. should there
be fever, give either anti-pyriene in
small doses-say Ave grains every four
/ hours or five grains OF quinine every
/ four hours. II the patient is weak, a
milk punch may be given twice a day.
/ Some nourishlng soup can be given
every two hours.
Bronchitis is due altogether 20 cold.
