The principal symptom of bron
chitis is a dry, harsh, hacking cough
accompanied with a rapid wheezing
and feeling of tightness across the
chest.
There is a rising of phlegm, espe
cially in the morning. This phlegm,
is at first of a light color, but as
the disease progresses becomes yel
lowish Or greenish, and is sometimes
streaked with blood.

subdue the inflammation, soothe the
irritated parts, loosen the phlegm
and mucus, ana help nature to easily
dislodge the morbid accumulation.
