TRUTH ABOUT THE
PASSING OF CATARRH
INTO CONSUMPTION.

From Doctor McCoy's Monograph on the
Extension Of Catarrh t. the Lungs.)
When Catarrh has existed in the head and
upper parts OF the throat for any length OF
time, the patient living in district where
people are subject To Catarrhal affections,
and the disease has been left uncured, the
Catarrh almost invariably extends from the
Throat, down the windpipe and thence into
the eBrOnchldl Tubes These tubes convey the
air into the different parts Of the Lungs
As result or the extension OF the disease
tile Bronchial Tubes become affected from
the swelling, and the mucus that is poured
out by the Catarrh, together with the
swelling, sometimes plugs these tubes up
so that air cannot pass freely through
them as 10 should ShOrtneSs or breath fol-
lows, and one so affected breathes with
difficulty. In other cases there are sounds
OF cracking and Wheeling inside the chest
AT this period of the extension of the dis
ease the breathing is usually more rapid
than il should be. There are frequently
felt hot flushes over the body
When Catarrh Extends to the Lungs.
The pain which accompanies This condI-
ton Is of dull Character. felt in the chest
behind the treast-boHe, or else il is pres

may come and go. last a few days. and then
be absent for several others. The cough
that occurs at this time is dry. comes on
at varying intervals. il hacking in char
acter, and is usually most Troublesome
in the morning upon rising. OF OH going to
bed at night. This peculiar character OF
Catarrhal disease is extending into the
lungs. AT first there may be nothing
brought up by the cough, then there Will
be a little tough, sticky muCUS raised,
which the patieLt finds great difficulty
in bringing up Sometimes there are fits
efforts 10 dislOdge the tough uuCus, as 10
cause vomiting Later on the mucus that
is raised may be found to contain par
ucles OF yellow matter, and This proves
that the smaller lung tubes are beginning
to be involved by the disease
The Most Serious symptoms.
AT this stage Of the trouble, in some
cases, there viii be found SJTedks Of
blood mixed with the mucus that is
expelled by the cough. In a certain num-
her OF cases, at this stage OF the dis
ease, the one afflicted becomes pale and
has considerable fever every afternoon,
while in certain other cases a great deal
OF muCus may be raised or hawked up
before any cough is present In certain
other cases small masses OF Cheesy-iike
subSt ances are spit up, which, when
pressed between the fingers emit a very
unpleasant OdoT- This last is a very Sc
TiOUs symptom
In some cases Catarrh VIII extend from
tie Throat and into the Lungs in a very
few weeks; in other cases il may be
months and even years before the disease
passes from the Throat into the Lungs.
When the disease invadeS the Chest there
is almost sure to be more or less fever,

periods OF the day. IL may be slight in

the same reasons as before, ended by
acquiescing, and discreetly left the room.
Its true, then-youre under arrest?"
said she, as she-entered, now very pale.
"Yes," said Burton; ''but it will all be
explained"
Yes, of course said Polly; yet it's
a shame-a shame!" and she sobbed softly
on his sh oulder.
As, a half-hour later, the troop swung
along the road, the silent lieutenant at
their head, Burton gloomily reflected how
black was his case. All the British army
might assert that il was as he represented
it, But British officers statement now,
under the circumstances of the Arnold
treason, would have little, If any, weight,
1t seemed to him that his situation was
worse than even Major Andres; for he
would be popularity convicted of using his
position toward the Wiltons most des-
picably He himself, Kings officer, did
not condemn his friend, j Ohm Andre. An
Dire was but ying orders. But in his.
Burton's case, there were impossible con-
ditions, which certainly would reflect on
the woman he loved.
AS the little army rodeiintn West Point
the men frowned at and rdviled him. Feel
ing ran high that day; land, indeed, no
one knew how far the great treason
reached.

Development of Rapid Consumption.

Not Dyspepsia, But Lung Disease.
A weak stomach and dislike for food,
which seems to have lost all its agreeable
taste often causes the sufferer To imagine
that he only has disease of the stomach.
Many a case of beginning lung disease IS
mistaken by patients and doctors alike for
dyspepsia. When Lung DiSeaSeiS thus mis-
taken for stomach affection the treatmen
that is applied is q wrong one and unfortu-
nately the treatment is often kept up until
the Lung Disease becomes so advancedtha5
the case becomes a hopeless one.
When Bronchial Catarrh is extending into
the lungs the voice often becomes weak and
husky or hoarse. There is often a burning
pain felt in the throat and some difficulty
experienced in swallowing on account OF
the soreness in the throat
