to four ounces c-t' \vat.-r ( IV. 58). Two or three tc.-i-sjKX)nfuls of this may be taken 

 several times a day. It speedily eases the cough, but has less influence on the 



hing. The creosote and opium mixture (Pr. L'.'i) is also useful. The occa 

 application of iodine to the chest, and especially to the back, does good by diminish- 

 ing the cough and lessening expectoration. 



hi the great majority of cases of chronic bronchitis a general tonic plan of 



ment is necessary. In addition to the remedies directed to the relief of the cough, 

 a course of quinine (Pr. 9), or of acid and gentian (Pr. 15), often proves of sei 

 The quinine may sometimes be given in combination with iron (Pr. 11). The oxido 

 of zinc pills (Pr. 66) are also useful in some cases. When iheiv is a great deal of ex- 

 pectoration, resulting in loss of flesh and strength, cod-liver oil is of essential service. 

 Pancreatic emulsion is a useful remedy in chronic bronchitis, particularly when 

 given in conjunction with cod-liver oil. A table-spoonful of cod-liver oil should be 

 taken directly after breakfast, and a tea-spoonful of the emulsion in a tumbler of 

 milk, with a table-spoonful of brandy, two hours after dinner. If cod-liver oil 

 disagrees, the pancreatic emulsion may be given two hours after breakfast, and again 

 two hours after dinner. A dash of rum may be added to the milk instead of the 

 brandy if preferred, and a small plain biscuit should be taken after the dose. 



The general management of the health also requires careful attention. It is very 

 important to avoid sudden changes of temperature as in going from a warm room to 

 one without a fire. The sufferer from chronic bronchitis should always wear a respirator 

 out-doors if it is at all damp or foggy On really bad days it is almost impossible to 

 go out. Different forms of bronchitis require different climates, but in every case it 

 is desirable to ensure a tolerably warm temperature, without sudden changes, a 

 moderately high altitude, and protection from cold winds. When there is cough 

 without much expectoration, a soft relaxing atmosphere with moderately high tem- 

 perature is recommended. When the expectoration is abundant, the patient is advised 

 to resort to a dry, hot, and more or less stimulating climate. In this country people 

 with chronic bronchitis usually go to Torquay, Penzance, Bournemouth, Grange, 

 Clifton, or Tunbridge Wells. Abroad, the chief resorts arc Mentone, San Remo, Pisa, 

 Rome, Cannes, Algiers, and Corfu. Plenty of warm clothing will have to be worn, 

 with flannel next to the skin. A warm bath or Turkish bath should be employed 

 from time to time. When the weather permits, moderate exercise is advisable. The 

 diet should be at all times nutritious, especially if there is much emaciation. The 

 bowels will have to be regulated if they fail to act naturally. 



BRONZED SKIN, OR ADDISON's DISEASE. 



This is a comparatively rare disease. The most prominent characteristics are 

 marked bloodlessness, coming on without any apparent cause, excessive and pro-
