Manager F. F. Proctor has inaugurated 
a new departure in theater entertainments 
that is meeting with great success. He 
has four theaters In New York, one in Al¬ 
bany and one in Montreal, making six 
theaters now in active operation. His se¬ 
lect company of 150 players is divided into 
six sections, and the tour of the six the¬ 
aters is made, so that each house has a 
new play each week. Old comedies, farces 
and laughing plays are revived and pre¬ 
sented with every attention to detail, and 
between the acts of the plays and before 
and after the dramas vaudeville numbers 
were introduced. In this way the long and 
tedious waits usually attendant upon the 
ordinary dramatic presentation are obvi¬ 
ated, and the entertainment is continuous. 
Everyone who visits New York wishes a 
night’s entertainment at the theater, and 
the attractions at Proctor's are surpassed 
by no house in the city. 
BRONCHIAL CONSUMPTION. 
From Dr. Robert Hunter’s Lectures on 
Lung Diseases. 
Of the many forms of Bronchitis, the 
one most alarming of all is that In which 
the symptoms closely resemble those of 
consumption, and hence called consumptive 
bronchitis, or bronchial consumption. You 
must not, however, understand from its 
name that it is really tuberculosis in char¬ 
acter, or produced by the bacilli which 
cause true consumption. 
In all lung cases I require a portion of 
the expectorated matter coughed up by the 
patient to be brought to me, or sent In a 
small bottle by express, before giving a 
definite opinion of the disease. If, on ex¬ 
amination, I find the tubercle bacilli pres¬ 
ent, the case is consumption; and if no 
bacilli—Bronchitis. A large percentage of 
those who die of lung disease, supposed 
to be consumption, are really deaths by 
chronic bronchitis resembling consumption. 
A remarkable Instance in verification of 
this recently occurred. A lady was brought 
to me in what appeared the last stage of 
consumption. Her physicians had told her 
husband that she could not live a week. 
She had a bad cough, puriform expectora¬ 
tions, night sweats and was wasted almost 
to skin and bone. Judging by her symp¬ 
toms and appearance, it was impossible 
not to fear that she had come too late. On 
sounding her chest, however, I was sur¬ 
prised to find no solidification by tubercles, 
and on examining her sputum a total ab¬ 
sence of the bacilli. The history, too, of 
her sickness revealed that it had followed 
an attack of whooping cough and grrlppe 
So, although her pulse was 120 a minute, 
and so feeble as to be hardly perceptible, 
and the wasting of her body so extreme 
that she could not stand without support, 
I did not hesitate to pronounce the disease 
bronchial, and give it as my opinion that, 
if we could sustain her strength long 
enough for remedies to act, she would be 
saved. She was Immediately placed under 
medicated air treatment, with tonics to im¬ 
part appetite and digestives to help the en¬ 
feebled stomach to transform nourishments 
into chyle and blood. Within a week she 
showed signs of improvement. Her pro¬ 
gress was necessarily slow, as the healing 
power of the body were nearly exhausted 
before the first inhalation was given, but 
she gradually acquired more and more 
strength, and within six weeks was able to 
take short walks in the open air. She re¬ 
covered perfectly In about six months, and 
is alive and well to-day. 
This case shows the importance of a cor¬ 
rect diagnosis and proper adaptation of the 
treatment of the conditions to be remedied. 
Had the true nature of her disease not 
been discovered just when it was, she 
would have lost her life through wrong 
treatment, and been recorded as another 
death by consumption. 
Every form of bronchitis Is curable by 
local antiseptic and healing remedies ap¬ 
plied directly to the lungs by medicated 
air inhalation, but none of them by stom¬ 
ach treatment. The stomach is not the 
part affected. The air tubes and cells of 
the lungs are the seat of every bronchial 
disease, and unless remedies capable of 
changing their bad secretions and healing 
the Inflamed tubes are applied to them, 
cure is impossible.
