DISTRESSING ASTHMA.
To Be Cured This Disease Must De
Fought In Early Stages.

In popular usage asthma is tern,
employed to describe we'll known
condition. yet it is significant OF the
broadened knowledge of diseases in
general that. as distinct disease. the
name is applied In a more and more
restricted sense by physicians.
For example. the asthma of which
DR.. Johnson complains In bis later
years. us recorded by Boswell, is 50
clearly set forth by the faithful blog
rapher that the modern physician is
even now able to determine that an
affection of the heart was responsible
for it.
Asthma is often family affection
and is frequently traceable to parent
grandparents or grandparents.
Most sufferers are of an eycitable, emo
tional or nervous temperament. Ii
bears n rather striking analogy to cpl
iepsy in that its attacks are character
lied by s,lddenness and Influenced b.
strong emotions. like fear or grief. and
not ilfrequently occur at night. wien
tie sufferer may be plunged from Gocp
sleep into an attack. In both diseases
excitement during the day is often fol
lowed by attacks.
Physicians believe. however. that Il
high strung organization alone is not
sufficient to develop the disorder. bit
that some other source of irritation
must be added-that is, some faulty
state of the system elsewhere. like dis
ease OF the digestive tract harmful!
factors circulating in the blood, obHta
Giles to free breathing in the nose and
others.
Whatever may be the source they
must he dealt with energetically and ut
an early stage. since long standing
cases of asthma Invariably develop
changes in the lungs and heart which
are permanent. The disease can then
be dealt with only by measures aimed
at palliating and cutting short the sep
arate attacks and with no reasonable
hope Of an actual. permanent cure.
For the young sufferer and for those
in the early attacks of asthma the
writer would emphasize the necessity
of thorough search for and the re-
moval of any and every error in by
gienic living in order to avoid the suf
fering of the chronic asthmatic and the
further diseases which it brings in its
train outh's Companion.
