THEORY OF MEDICATED INHALATION.
DBS. HUNTER AND RAMSAY.
ON TUB
SYMPTOMS OF CONSUMPTION.
(Continued.) '
We stated in o-ir last letter that in the earlj
stage the most common symptoms of consumption
arc "dry hacking cough," a sense of "shortness of
breath on exertion" and "increased frequency of
the pulse." 'Another B.ymptom which should
lead us to suspect the halih of the lungs is
pain. During the course of the disease, It is
unusually present in some degree; but varies
very much in intensity. It may be the first in
dication of tubercles in tho lungs, or not appear
until alter ulceration has taken place. In one
case, it is a sharp stitch in the side; in another,
a dull aching under the breastbone; in a third,
a sense of burning; while in a fourth we have
only a fueling of weight and oppression. Its scat,
too, is often distant from the part of the lung
affected. It may be in the oppotVo sido of the
chest, or low down in the side, vhcrcas tuber- I
clcs are always deposited at the top of the lung, j
Sometimes we find the pain immediately over the
part aflected, but this is not usual. At times, the
pain has very much of a rheumatic character;
and at others resembles neuralgia. From this,
it will be understood that pain is a very unre
liable symptom. It is no proof that tho lungs
are sound, that the patient has never experienced
any pain; since more than one-third of those
laboring under this disease never have the least
indication of it The lungs, as a rule, do not
manifest Injury by puln; even acute inflammation
is very rarely attended bv any suffering. If
there is pain, soreness, aching, weight, oroppres
sion, however, it should be regarded as a supl .
cious circumstance, and the luugs imtnpdtely
"sounded" to discover its cause. Wyn con
siderable disease exists In one lu:tg, patients
sometimes find It uncomfortable to lie on that
side, and the sense of discomfort produced, by
doing so is the only inconvenience they expe
rience. The "losing a M'.e flesh" is often an early
s5mptom of consumption. It taKe3 place in
many cases, even thonn-h the appetite remains
good, and the food is abundant and nutritious.
When a patient grows thinner, without any ap
preciable reason, the lungs 6hould always be
suspected as the caue. The same is true of those
who rapidly gain flesh, and then as suddenly lose
it. These changes merely indicate the churures
taklnppiace In the lungs. Still we do not always
find apparent loss ot flebh in the first stage of
tubercles. In young women, in particular, we
very often find the limps seriously affected
while they still retain their cjloraud plumpness.
But, as a rule, if we reduce the matter to a cer-
tainty, by weighing, we shall find a few pound
of difference between their present and former
weight If, with the loss of weight, tliere is a
disposition to sigh, a dark discoloration below the
eyes, and a quickened pulse, with some heat in the
hanOs, set it down as almost certain that the
lungs are aifected. Still we have, in a few in
stances, known persons to gain flesh, during tho
whole of the first and second stages of consump
tive disease, and that, too, where the tubercles
were rapidly undergoing changes which, if not
arrested, must soon have ended iatully. Strong
nourishment will sometimes improve the weight
of persons, who are hopelessly affected, though
the increase in weight exerts no beneficial in
fluence on the disease itself.
The irritation produced hy tubercler,, even in
the first stage, will sometimes give rise to a sense
of chilliness, followed by slight fever, in the after
part of the day, aud perspiration towards morn
ing; but wo do not generally have hectic fever
and night sweats until after the tubercles begin to
soften. As a rule, when the third stage coni-
i. menecs, the patient feels chilly, as evening
approaches. "After he gets into bed ho dis
covers that his hands and feet burn, or feel hot,
and towards morning he perspires." For a time
the perspiration Is slight; but as the disease ad
vances, often becomes so profuse as to drench
the bad. About one in every ten escape night
sweats altogether, while fully two out of every
three escape them, until after tlie softening of the
tubercles commences.
In young females irregularities almost always
occur sooner or later, and often this Is the firs!
and only evidence they have of disease. We ex
amine the lungs, and are surprised to find them
the seat of miliary tubercles. Too frequently,
in such cases, strong medicines are given to re
store the suspended function, and the careless
physician only discovers his cruel mistake when
, his administrations have aggravated the pul
monary disease. The tubercles are then attri
buted to the suppression, when In reality they
are the cause which produced it. When any doubt
exists, the proper course for a patient Is to sub
mit the lungs to a careful examination by
' physician specially skilled in pulmonary cases.
It would be too much to expect the medical
attendant to confess an error of diagnosis, and
yet few are so learned and experienced that
they do not make many mistakes in the
early stage of obscure cases, and in distinguish
ing between purulent bronchitis and tuberculous
ulceration of Vie lungs. Much of the mortality
caused by consumption results from the hesl
j tation and delay in adopting a proper treatment
in the early stage. And this evil will conti nue so
long as the medical men resist the division of
medical practice Into specig&es. It is only by
devoting exclusive attention to a class of diseases
to intricate and important as Oiose of the lungs,
that the physician can acquire Oie experience es
sential to correct diagnosis and successful treat-
t ment. We mean no disparagement of our pro
fessional brethren when we say that the general
practitioner, however skilful, has neither time nor
sufficient opportunities to become a good stethosio-
pist, and yet, while he continues to treat con
. tumption, the lives of his patients hang upon his
sltittin this respect. The remedies employed de
pend on the stage and form of the disease, and
no pkysician can successfully treat a patient
while he is in doubt and uncertainty as to the
nature and extent of the pulmonary affection.

A Nevt rno.?KCT. Tho managers of the

made application to the City Council, asking
that body to donate to them the lot of ground at
Filth and Plum streets, tor the purpose of erect
ing thereon a lurue and convenient building for
the uses of the Home, the present one being ton
small to admit all tho applications made. This
Home has been verv useful, and bids fair to be
come a permanent institution. The Citv Coun

A Shocking Case of Wife Beating
Fbobablk Mcbdkr. This morning, about three1
clock. Jacob Weaver, a tierman, residing with.
his wife aud children in the second story of a
bouse in I'ennsyivania avenue, near uoatcs street,
was arrested linon the charge of wife beatlner.
Tho attention of Officers Spear and Oavandoll
were attracted bv the cry ot murder Issuinir from
the house, and upon rushing into the place a
most norrid spectacle met their eves. Lying on
the floor was Mrs. Weaver, with her brutal hus-
band standing over her with a short club. Her
head was cut and lacerated in the most shocking
manner, i wo large pooia 01 mooa were on me
floor and blood was scattered upon tho walu The
club with which the beating had been done was
covered with hair and blood. The inhuman hus
band wss taken to the Station House, where
Lieutenant juoveaire was notified ot the occur
rence. This ollicer, with his sergeants, hastened
to tne residence oi weavtr. Here hl9 wite was
found to be in a most critical condition, having
been but recently confined. The child, two
weeks old, was lying in the bed. and nestled
close about It were three other children of
Weaver's. The little ones were screaming and
freatly terrified at what had taken place. Dr.
tuart was at once summoned. It was the inten
tion ot to send the unfortunate woman to the
Hospital, but her condition was such that the
Doctor prohibited her removal. A nurse was
accordingly procured by Lieutenant Loveaire,
and everything done to relieve tne suiterinss ot
the poor woman. It Is feared that herinlurics
will prove lataL She states that her husband
was drunk at the time, and has been in tue uaoit
of maltreating her. She was in bed when he at
tacked her. He dracped hr out on the floor,
and then beat herith his fist and the club.
The three oldest children were sent to the North
ern Home. Tlie infant was very kindly tuken in
charge by a neighbor. Weaver had a hearing
before Alderman Hutchinson this morning, and
was committed, ball beins refused, to await the
result ol the injuries intiictpd on his wife.
