CON SUMPTION,
From consumers, ''to waste away" usually
applied to the advanced state of lung disease;
The following are prominent symptoms in
the first stage, and whenever any OF them
exist a thorough examination should always
be made, with view to arrest the diseaseif
shown to exist: There is usually a sense of
WEAKNESS upon a little exercise, disposition
to remain passive and idle, dependency,
often from apparent cause, a peculiar
sensitiyeness to the effect of cold, and
breathlessness upon moving quicsly, or de-
scending a, hill or stairs, slight hacking
cough, with or without expectoration, ex-
citability upon slight occasions, flying pains
through the chest or back, or under the
shoulder blades, The symptoms are more
fever in the afternoon cold feet and hands, or
in many cases, blue nvidity of the lips and
roots of the finger nails.
Constitutional or tubercular consumption is
common form of lung disease. The progress
is slow, but If left, to itself no less sure 1t
usually begins with dry, cough. At first
these tubercules are exceedingly minute, the
patient not at all suspecting their presence.
Gradually they develop into more active
disease, and then follows the train of symptoms
which leave no doubt as to its true character.
Sometimes splitting of blood or slight streaks in
the mucus is the first indication of tubercular
deposit or it may be chilly sensation in the
back followed by more or less heat in the
palms of the hands, or an afternoon flush on
the cheeks. The slow and gradual inroads of
this form of consumption leave the stomach
and appetite undisturbed for considerable
time Finally, however, hectic fever and
night sweats superyene, preceded by diar-
Ihpa. Then the loss of flesh and strength
becomes rapid, the chest contracts, the features
sharpen, the eye attains an unusual brilliancy,
and the patient rbegins to realize that he is in
the last stage of confirmed constitutional con-
sumption.
By the employment of proper inhalations in
the form OF medicated vapor mot steam or
spray we are able to produce immediate and
direct action upon the diseased surface in the
pharynx and the nasal passages, for air will
find its way into the remotest and intricate
cavities where it is utterly impossible to make
fluid applications. By these means every case
can be cured.
Persons desiring treatment by this system of
practice use the remedies at home as well
as at our Office, and which will cause no incon-
venience or hindrance from business whatever.
have seen so many of these cases cured that
| do not consider any case hopeless unless both
lungs are seriously involved. Even then the
Compound Oxygen aud other limitations aid
us in dissolving the mucus and in contracting
and healing the cavities, which nothing else
can do with the same success.
The very best references from those already
cured.
