DRY BRONCHITIS
From DR.. Hunters Lectures on the Progress
of Medical Science in Lung Diseases.

OF MEDICAL science ia Lung diseases
There is another form, called dry bron
| chltis, i'll which the matter expcctorated is
| neither profusc nor watery nor purIlent.
| 1t is a glutinous kind OF stuff, OF blush
white or pearly gray color. The chronic
| inflammation which causes it thickens the
mucous membrane, thereby narrowing the
| tubes through which we breathe, and short
ening and depressing the breath. Often
| tubes OF considerable size become com
Pletely clogged by this tough phlegm,
causing great difficulty i'm breathing.
OF all The forms OF bronchitis this is the
most common. ''In France" says Laen-
| nee, fully one-half of the people are
found, on careful examination, to have
thlcken1ng OF some portion OF the mucous
lining of the lungs, caused by dry bron-
| chitiS.' 1t is the most inSdiouS of lung
| complaints. Those suffering from 1t have
at first only slight cough; it may be only
a trlfiing coughing spell in the morning;
| they have a chilly sensation in the fore
noon, and toward evening are fevcriSh.
There is always Il feeling Of more or less
| tightneSS and oppression in the chest,
which is relieved from time 10 time by
coughing up quantity oil the tough, Jelly
like matter before described. Sometimes
the cough comes on i'll parOxySmS, at
| tended by great oppression and distress,
like asthma. On inquiry OF Il person so
affected ii he has any lung trouble, he will
almost certainly answer, No, and yet dur
ing your conve satiOn will perhaps hack
and raise this Jelly like mucus half
dozen times.
Here we have lung disease which
directly tends to consumption, and has
| most OF the symptoms Of that disease, and
yet IS not consumption at all. When it
ends fatally, as il often does, an examina
ton OF the lungs reveals neither tubercles,
liberation, nor the bacilli of tuberculosis.
In such cases death generally results
from sulfocation caused by n sudden at
tack OF congestion, which, Supcrvening on
the chronic disease, fills the lungs with
viscd mucus that the patient, in his weak
ened condition, is unable to raise.
Bronchitis is not generally treated with
success, because the proper remedies are
not applied to the diseased tubes within
the lungs. | had the good fortune some
years ago to discover and successfully
apply a local treatment for this and other
lung complaints. | made the air which
the patient breathes the carrier OF the
remedies which are necessary fer his cure.
Instead OF sending them on Il roundabout
way through the stomach and general sys-
tom, / introduce them directly into the air
tubes and cells OF the lungs, where the
disease and all the danger lies, and |
know by ample experience that this treat
ment is the only hope there is for the cure
Of any form of bronchial or lung diseases.

while Bennett was more CHEEKY. Webster
appeared before his friend one day more
than ordinarily downcast, when Bennett
inquired, "What is the the trouble now9"
at is no matter; it will be all right by
and by" replied he.
Like an inspiration, or voice from
the unseen land, came to Bennett the
idea Of the song, "The Sweet By and
By" Turning to his desk, writing off
hand with pencil, in less than thirty
mintues he handed Webster the hymn
worded as IL reads to-day.
As Bennett handed the lines TO Web
ster, two friends, s. E. Bright, now a
resident Of Fort Atkinson, and N. H.
Carswell, who long since joined the great
majority, entered the room and listened
to Webster as he improvised the music
on his violin, hastily iotting down the
notes on a bit Of waste paper. In less
than ten minutes these four men were
singing the hymn, "The Sweet BY and
By" to and audience Of one, r. r.
Crosby, who remarked, with tears in
his eyes, Gentlemen, that hymn 10 inn

Within a few days it was sung by
school children on the streets; then it
was published as Sunday school hymn,
and lastly as sheet music translated into
many languages.
Aside from theit intrinsic worth and
beauty, the words were peculiarly fitted
to the spirit Of the times in which they
were written, when so many hearts were

Keep the Glass Bright.

Fancy glassware becomes dim after q

tions (only little at time, Of course)
in the creviCes. We're these small dust
traps upon the right side, the food side,
they would be washed out whenever the
dish is used, but the average housekeeper
passes the dishcloth but lightly over the

most carefully on the inside. I think
that we need glass-polishing day as
often as a silver-clesning day. Let me

cheap ware, too. Take the glass into

Shave one-eighth OF cake Of soap into

OF boiling water, and when the soap is
dissolved add sufficient warm water to

foamy suds, immerse the dishes, brush
ing the fancy portions with q soft brush
(aworn5 cent one is what I use); wash
of withthe dishcloth and wipe right out
OF thes uds, without rinsing. Use plenty Of
soft, clean towels, and be sure to wipe
the glass while hot, and your ware will
look as brilliant as real cut glass,

A Daughters Part ct Home.

One Of the sweetest things girl can
do is to receive friends graciously,
particularly at home. In ones own
house q cordial manner is peculiarly
fitting. Do not stand off in the middle
OF the room and bow coldIy and formally
to the friend who has called. Walk
over to meet her; give her your hand,
and say pleasantly that you are very
glad to meet her again. Stiff, cold and
formal ways Of greeting acquaintance
are not proper In a girl welcoming guests
at her fathers house. A daughters
part is to assist her mother on every
social occasion. The girl pours the tea
in her mothers drawiug-room when
friends drop in at s o'clock. Often
when no maid is present, she helps the
guests to the sandwiches and cakes
which are served at q s o'clock tea.
and herself hands the cups and takes
them from the guests who would
like to be relieved. Apart from, and
more important even than the manner
to guest who happens In for an hour
or day, is the manner of daughter to
her father and mother. The father re-
turns to his home after weary day at
business. He is tired in body and mind,
Coming back, as his lstCh.key turns in
the door, he throws off his care; he is
joyous at the thought Of the dear ones
he will meet after hours Of absence. His
young daughter, in pretty gown, with
the bloom and freshness only girlhood
wears, should be ready to give him the
attention he loves--the kiss, the CHEEKY
word--tO help her mother and the rest
in letting her father see how much he is
loved at home. Men give up a great
deal for their families their time, their
strength, the knowledge they have
gained in life'S experience-they spend
everything freely for their homes sake,
and the home should pay it's debt in
much outspoken love, -HGrper'S Round

Good Ventilation.

great breeders and feeders of disease,
and are the places where not only "The
good man meets his fate" but where
many one not 80 good meets fatality,

what was the matter, says Good House
Keeping. Sleeping rooms should never
be without fresh air facilities, and should
not be occupied second time without
being allowed to keep "open house" in
the interim.

open fireplaoes, the safest and most eco
nomical means Of ventilation, cannot al

Simple Remedies.

We often laugh at old. fashioned peo.
pie who keep regular stock Of reme-

almost every i'll, but these same homely
medicines have often done much good
while waiting for physician, or in case
Of an accident, when to wait might have
besn fatal or have caused permanent in
jury.
The following are only few hints
whose merits are known to the writer
and may be Of service in any emergency:
For cold, hosrseness, or when
pneumonia ia threatened, take equal
parts Of dried hops, pennyroysl and
sage, place in kettle and pour about
a quart Of boiling water upon them; let
these boil for sfew minutes, then stop
up the spout and place a cloth about the
lid, opening In such way that it can be
brought up over the patients face; let
the fumes be inhaled as hot as possible.
When not using it, it should gently
simmer in the same room, and will make
the atmosphere moist and grateful to
the sore lungs. AT the same time the
chest and aoles Of the feet should be
rubbed with turpsntine and sweet oil
alternately.
For inhamed eyes, take piece of alum
and with it stir the white of an egg
until it becomes of creamy consistency,
then spread between q fold of thin linen
end lay upon handkerchief, after which
bind it over the eyes.
For burn, take one part fresh lard
and two parts baking soda, mix together
and spread upon pieces Of white or
cream tissue paper, lay these gently
upon affected part, and bind on with
muslin strips. While waiting for the
lard and soda the burn should be bathed
with witch hazel.
For esrache or toothsche, put large
oupof salt into q skillet, and heat it
until very hot, stirring all the time. Put
into cloth and tic with a string into o
loose bunch. Hold this as hot 90 can bo

For bruise or sprsin, bathe with hot
