BRONCHITIS
BRONCHIAL ASTHMA.
Diseases That Kill Thousands
Whose Deaths Are Charged
10 Consumption.

Bronchitis most frequently has its be-
ginning in a simple cold that settles on
the lungs.
Sometimes It is an after result Of an at
tack Of the Grip"
10 is also caused and aggravated by
dust in the air. that irritates the MEM
branes OF the bronchial tubes. That is why
so many stone-cutters die of bronchitis
and consumption.
The sufferer from bronchitis first has a
slight cough. IL may be a brief and APP
parcntly trlhing coughing spell In the
morning. lie has chilly sensations To-
ward evening he is slightly feverlsh. Nhen
he works or walks rapidly, or goes up
stairs he gets short Of breath easily.
Sometimes he has a sense of tightncss or
oppression Of his chest.
AS the disease progresses, he begins TO
raise thick, greenish-yellOw matter when
he coughs. He has a hectic fever and
night sweats. and loses flesh and strength
rapidly. In time the sufferer dies Of eX-
haustion or becomes consumptive.
The symptoms Of bronchitis SO closely
resemble those Of consumption that prob
ably twO-ffths OF the deaths credited M
health records TO consumption are really
deaths by bronchitis.
To put IL in plain, everyday language,
bronchitis is simply q soreness of the
lungs. il Is a local disease, pure and sim
PIE. 10 can be surely and speedily cured
hv local treatment, and by 40 other
means. 10 cannot be cured by medicines
introduced into tho stomach or injected
into the blood. 10 accomplish cure the
medicine must be applied directly 10 the
inhamed Innings Of the bronchial tubes.
Physicians have been unable % cure
bronchitis. because they discovered no
way TO apply healing remedies directly 10
the membranes Of the bronchial tubes.
They could not cut a mans lungs open
and apply medicine in that way. They
could not pour liquids down his windpipe
without strangIing him. They were forced

ability TO successfully combat lung dis
eases.
It remained for Dr. Robert Hunter 20

diseased surfaces OF the bronchial tubes.
DR. Hunters method consists OF medical
ing the air which the patient breathes.

the sore lungs or the sore bronchial tubes

treat a sore throat or a sore eye.
By this method Dr. Hunter has cured
and IS now curing thousands Of cases or
an kinds Of lung disease When his treat
