Brandon, ML D., Essex, Mo. Pneumonia i ssimply an acute,infectious, croup-ous inflammationof the vesicularstructure of thelung tissue, ren-dering the alveoliimpervious to air. It is character-ized by a severe orslight chill whichjsually occurs dur-ing the night. This chill is generallyfollowed by a rapid rise of tempi ra-ture from 103° to 108° F.; sometimeshigher; complaint of some headache,thoracic pain, dyspnea, cough, alsorusty colored sputum with great pros-tration occurs. All ages are liable—the rich as wellas the poor. However, males more fre-quently than females, and one attackpredisposes to another. You will notice the full but rapidpulse, soon showing evidence of em-barrassed cardiac action from the ob-structed pulmonary circulation. There are sharp, lancinating painsnear the nipple. The pain is very much increased bypressure, breathing or coughing. Rapid respiration, inspiration, shortand superficial e
