Excerpt from Bronchitis, and Kindred DiseasesIt is an affection of the voice-making organs, which are at the top or beginning of the wind-pipe, answering to that moveable protuberance in the throat, in the act of swallowing, familiarly called Adam's Apple, very prominent in men, less so in women.The one great distinguishing symptom in throat-ail, present in every case, absent in none, is an alteration of the voice, its tone is not so clear as usual, or to make it so, there is an instinctive effort by hawking or hem ming to remove something which is felt to be an obstacle to a full and free utterance.In the first stages of the disease, nothing perceptible is cleared away. When farther advanced, a little mucus, or pearly phlegm is brought up, not half a tea-spoonful, perhaps but as the malady progresses, this pearly phlegm becomes thicker, more and more yellow, and in greatly increased quantities, from a tea-spoonful to twenty or more in the course of four and twenty hours, when it uniformly terminates fatally.Of this disease, ending in consumption, the celebrated clerical orator, Edward Irving, died.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
