BRONCHITIS, a dangerous inflammatory affection of the bronchial tubes, is commonly the result of a cold produced by exposure to wet and inclement weather. Its first symptom is a roughness of the windpipe, which induces frequent attempts to clear the throat. These exertions soon excite a hard, dry cough, which is followed by hoarseness, tightness across the chest, shivering with feverish flushes and difficulty in breathing, sharp pains, and an excessive secretion of thick, mucous matter (at first white, but subsequently of a yellowish or greenish color) often mixed with blood. The presence of so much mucus causes a wheezing noise in breathing, and prevents due oxygenation of the blood, in consequence of which the patient looks pale and anxious. AYER'S CHERRY PECTORAL, being peculiarly adapted to the relief of these symptoms, cures this disease more certainly than any other medicine, known to pharmacy.
