Some Ailments for Which
1t is Used

CORDS denote certain caratarrhaI
conditions of the respiratory tract.
There are apt to be chilly sensations
slight headache, pain in the back and
limbs and frequent sneezing. The
mucous membrane of the nose is in
famed, the nose is stopped up and
it is almost impossible to breathe ex-
cept through the mouth. In addition
to add to the distress, there is apt
to be most irritating cough. When
it extends downward into the bron-
chial mucous membrane it is known
as acute bronchitis.
ACUTE BRONCHITIS or cold in
the chest, is often nothing more than
the extension downward of an ordi-
nary. cold. 1t begins with feeling
of tightness and rawness beneath
the breast bone and sensation of
oppression in the chest. The cough
is rough at first and often of a ring
ing character and comes on in paro-
nysms which rack and distress the
sufferer. 1t is dry and expectoration
is scanty. Often there is intense
pain during these spells, beneath the
breast bone and along the attach
ments of the diaphragm. M
BRONCHIAL ASTHMA begins
with chilly feeling, a sense of tight
ness in the chest, fiatulence and Oft
en- great depression Of the spirits. It
is generally accompanied by cough
and bronchial secretions and a feel
ing of construction and suffocation.
Nocturnal attacks are COMMON. II All
persons suffering from bronchial
asthma should be very careful with
respect to their diet, as the attacks
are induced by fatulence.
.WHOOPING COUGH is character
lied by catarrh Of the respiratory
passages and series of convulsiye
coughs which end in long-drawn
inspiration Of whoop. 1t begins with
symptoms of an ordinary cold which
may begin with slight fever, running
at the nose, injection of the eyes and
a bronchial cough, usually dry and
often incessant, sometimes giving III
dications of spaslnodic character
After a week or ten days the cough
becomes convulsive in character. The
sufferer should remain in bed but
have plenty of fresh air night and
day. :
SPAsMoDIC GROUP (Note. This
disease must not be confused with
diphtheretic Group which is must
dangerous and requires Immediate
medical attention.) This disease
which usually comes on at night is
attended with a kind of choking .o1
wheeling in the throat and. chest and
difficulty Of breathing amounting
sometimes to s6ffocation. There is
also a short, dry and very deep hoarse
cough. This disease must be subdued
at once, or the patient may be lost
I THE THROAT of every patient
should be examined in order to ascer-
tain if the uvula or pendulum of the
palate be not elongated, for in such
cases it would keep up continued
irritation until reduced to its healthy
state. This affection is very common
and should not be neglected. When
either irritated or liberated it is not
only, cause Of cough or inclination
to swallow, or disagreeable hawk
ing, but it also frequently nauseates
the stomach, impairs the appetite and
lis very fruitful source of dyspepsia.
Public speakers are very liable to af-
fections of this kind. In such cases
an astringent gargle should be used
several times a@day.
