SERIOUS COUGHS RESULT
FROM SPREAD OF COLDS
Affect the Chest and Infiame
Bronchial Tubes
By DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

by LIN. MOnn1O r1O11DElN
Obviously, any serious infection in
the windpipe or in the voice box will
produce a cough. Any interference
with the vocal cords or any growth
which prevents their proper opening
and closing may be the cause of a
constant coughing. Pressure on the
windpipe will cause a cough, as some
times occurs due to enlargement of
the lymph glands surrounding the
windpipe.
The more serious types of coughing
involve colds which have spread down
into the chest and produced inflama-
ton of the bronchial tubes. The ply
sician, by the use of his stethoscope,
can tell that there is interference with
the passage of air through these
tubes. Asthmatic construction of the
bronchial tubes may also produce
wheeling and coughing.
The other forms of cough that are
especially serious are those involving
actual changes in the lung tissues
such as those due to tuberculosis or
fibrous changes in the lungs, and also
infammations of the membranes
lining the chest cavity known as the
pleura. Such inflammations are called
pleurisy.
In addition to these coughs which
can be traced to the tissues concerned,
the physician is concerned with the
condition called whooping cough, and
with the development of ulcers in var
ious parts Of the throat.
Finally, the child who has had
whooping cough may develop the
habit of coughing, and even though it
is well, continue to whoop and cough
for months, perhaps because it has
learned that the cough makes it the
center of interest. However, such
diagnosis is made only with the great
est of difficulty and should never be
made unless with certainty that every
possible anatomical source of the
cough has been studied and elimin-
ated.
This is the important step to be TAX
en- in the treatment of any cough;
namely, to eliminate or treat the
cause as far as possible. After this
is done it is possible to quiet cough
ing by the use of sedative prepare
tions which a physician can pres
cribe. There are various drugs which
tend to loosen cough and others
which tend to lower the threshold of
stimulation so as to permit healing
without coughing.

Farmers have the right to

necessary for South Carolina
