one SIDE or the Jnroat ony-cxcinns conseunU ire.
sire to cough In such cases the irritation will
always be on the side on which the nasal passage
Is closed. Under such circumstances, inhaling
remedies through the mouth very often fails to
check the coughing more than u few moments.
BY clearing the closed up nasal passage and in.
haling through it the coughing and irritation are
soon checked. The reason Of this is, that the
parasites are developing rapidly on the posterior
surface of the wing of the palate on the side Of
the nasal stoppnge, and are constantly working
down into the larynx and pharynx on that side.
Asthmatic Symptoms - When the parasites
reach the smaller hronchii and air ccs-espe.
cially in irritable and sensitive constitutions
asthmatic symptoms begin to show themselves,
and often become distressing and almost unen-
durable. Any cxcitcmenC in the circulation ag.
gravates tile symptoms The evening and night
air always increase the suiferings.
Contagon on-rhs disease belongs to those that
may be transmitted from one individual to an
other though the transmission is not very readily
accomplished. IH working very closely over about
sixty c,lspS of the disease examining the sputa
under the microscope for many hours together in
each instance, and in several severe attacks de.
voting days tn the examinations have taken
the disease but six times myself, and in two in.
stances have transmitted it to my family. have
usually begun to feel symptoms OF the presence
of the parasite in from four TO eight days after
beginning to treat a case. III all Of my late eases,
l should state that have taken the precaution to
iniale solution of crystallized csrbolc acid one
drachm to the pint of water every two or three
hours, and to take twenty drops tincture ferri
chlord in Il tumbler of water two hours after
each meal This course has lately protected me
from taking the disease.
Trcatment--All means ordinarily used for colds
and coughs are worse than useless in this disease.
While they tend to get the system out of order
they do not rctard the development and progress
of the cause The only remedies that do any
good are such either destroy or retard the
growth and rrproductiveness of the parasites,
Fortunately we have many agents belonging to
this class among which are carbolic acid, tinct.
ferrichlord, qninia sulph., sulphuric acid, nitric
acid, hydrochloric acid ETC., all of which RENE
dies should be in solution with sufficient water, so
that they can be inhaled without producing irrita-
ton. The inhnlations should be made freely and
as often every hour or two. In addition to in
hahng, give two grains of quinia sulph every four
hours, and twenty drops of tinct, ferri-chorid in
a glass of water morning, noon and night. 1t is
surprising how much a single thorough inhalation
amined before the first inhalation and then again
after it, n remarkable difference till he observed
in the condition of the parasites. Before inhaa-
ton they all in active motion; ter it, if thor
oughly done, they will nearly all be ound either
dead or motionless.
By inhaling at short intervals and thoroughly
one leaves chance for the parasites to get very
numerous; and soon the follicles become perme-
ated with the inhaled materials, and the cause Is
entirely destroyed.
