"First of all you must be very attentive about his health; you must watch him carefully and see that he does not take cold. A cold might be fateful; he would have pulmonary congestion and that would aggravate his bronchitis. Do you know if they could cure him of his bronchial trouble they could operate upon him and give him back his sight? Think what happiness that would be for all of us."
These will be found treated under the various heads of Colds, Bronchitis, Consumption, etc., but some particular cases of mere cough demand special attention. A tickling cough sometimes comes on, and seems to remain in spite of all efforts to get rid of it. It is worse at night, and keeps the sufferer from sleeping, causing much distress.
'Yes, of course. Did you know, Nuttie, that your aunt was ill? 'No, indeed, I did not. What was the matter? 'Bronchitis, I believe brown titus, as Betty Butter calls it. 'Bronchitis! Oh dear! oh dear! Are you quite sure, Blanche? 'Oh yes! I am quite certain Annaple said Mark told her that Miss Headworth was laid up with bronchitis. 'And nobody has written to us all this week! sighed Nuttie.
You are unhappy? 'Oh, no, she said. 'But to think to think that after all these years of misery, of heartbreak, it should end like this, here. 'Here? he questioned. 'I am glad your bronchitis is better, but you can invent the most awful fibs, she said. He looked at her, while the universe whirled round him. 'Hélène! 'Paul! Her divorce didn't carry with it the right to marry again.
Not more than ten or fifteen per cent of all cases gave a history of tonsillitis; but since we have broadened our conception of infection and begun to inquire, not merely for symptoms of tonsillitis, but also for those of influenza, "common colds," measles, whooping-cough, and the like, we reach the most significant result of finding that forty to sixty per cent of our cases of rheumatism have been preceded, anywhere from one to three weeks before, by an attack of some sort of "cold," sore throat, catarrhal fever, cough, bronchitis, or other group of disturbances due to a mild infection.
The one may pass into the other, just as a common cold, or catarrh, may pass, if unattended to, into a dangerous bronchitis. Simple precautions will often arrest its progress, and, among them, rest in bed is one of the most important.
I read it but yesterday, and it has mingled with all my thoughts since then. Here are the two paragraphs, which appeared following each other: "Mr. R., the Advocate-General of Calcutta, has been appointed to the post of Legislative Member of the Council of the Governor-General." "Sir R. S., Agent to the Governor-General for Central India, died on the 29th of October, of bronchitis."
"Dear, dear I only wish I had a fire lighted," she said. "Your bronchitis will be getting worse, if you aren't careful, Jessie. Miss Peters, a cup of tea will do your throat good. It always does mine when I get nipped." "Don't encourage Maria in her fancies," snapped Mrs. Butler. "There's nothing ails her throat, only she will wrap herself in so much wool that she makes herself quite delicate.
For example, he had adopted that slavish affectation which seems to insist that a preacher of God should always wear a white cravat, so constructed and worn as to hide the tips of his shirt collar. If they wore none, they would look infinitely more noble, and we may add, never suffer from bronchitis. In his deportment, Stevens was quite as sanctified as heart could wish.
The cruel rains had sapped away their stamina, and they could not recover it with the meager and innutritious diet of coarse meal, and an occasional scrap of salt meat. Quick consumption, bronchitis, pneumonia, low fever and diarrhea seized upon these ready victims for their ravages, and bore them off at the rate of nearly a score a day.
