The Lungs and Their Diseases.
From DIR. Hunters Lecture on the Progress
of Medical Sciepce.l

| From DIR. Hunters Lecture on the Progress
of Medical Science.
The lungs are the great vital center OF the
body on which the health and proper action Of
all the organs depend. II we cease to breath
for but five minutes, We are dead at the END oil
; that time. In rare and exceptional cases the
fame of life has been rekindled by artificial
respiration, but, as a rule, people sound and
WE'LL when suffocated, are dead, beyond resto-
ration, at the end of five minutes. Have you
ever thought why this is 1t is because the
function of every organ stops the moment we
stop breathing. Breathing enables the heart to
beat, the blood to circulate and the brain to
send forth sensation and motion to the entire
body. The lungs, the brain and the heart con-
stitute the tripod OF life, and while they act we
cannot die. The heart depends on the lungs
for it's power to circulate the blood, and the
blood depends on the lungs for its publication.
Every moment of life osrbonic acid is being
generated in the blood by the action of the
organism, and must be gotten rid Of by the act
| of breathing That is Gods appointed way Of
purifying our blood. When We stop breathing
we retain the carbonio acid, and five minutes
accumulates sufficient ia the blood to poison
and stop the whole machinery life
All affections of the lungs are serious, how
ever slight they may seem, because they
prevent full and free breathing, and in the same
proportion ipjure the general health. Take, for
example, n cold which. by infaming the air
tubes of the lungs, swells their mucous lining,
diminishes their size and obstructs them by
yiscid secretioHs OF mucus. As we cannot
breath through tubes that are narrowed and
obstructed by matter in them as well as through
those that are open and free, so every cold
while il lasts Injuries our breathing, diminishes
the purity of our blood hurts our circulation,
clogs the heart and irritates the nervous system
All diseases which affect our lungs begin in
the mucous lining OF the air passages-nose,
throat, bronchial tubes. This membrane is
peculiarly exposed to cold smoke, gas and
air, all of which being drawn in with the
breath infame it and set up disease.
But 1t is the chronic disease we have chiefly
to ider in treating of long diseases. The
acute stage passes away, leaving the patient
almost as well as before it., but most liable
to occur again, until it settles into confirmed,
chronic catarrh or bronchtis-a condition OF
the lungs so full OF interest, because so often
mistaken, and so liable to be mistaken, for con-
sumption, of which, indeed, it is generally the
forerunner.
