92 NORTH CAROLINA MEDICAL SOCIETY 1. Those due to alcoholism. 2. Those due to syphilis. 3. Those due to autointoxication, or chronic protein putrefaction or nitrogen narcosis, or to carbon or marsh gas narcosia. 4. Those due to or secondary to the exanthemata, or to other infectious diseases. Bright's disease is essentially a disease of the blood vessels. When the vessels begin to lose their elasticity, the blood pressure rises and dropsical effusion begins. Why have we not made more progress in the treatment of Bright's disease? Early diagnosis of the disease and of its cause and the early treatment are extremely important. We have progressed in the prevention of Bright's disease only so far as prohibition of the liquor traffic has progressed; only so far as we have taught the public about the evil effects of venereal diseases; only so far as we have taught the people that the meat, grease, and sugar which predominate in the menu of the average hotel will cause traveling men to have Bright's disease; that too much animal protein will harden the arteries, stiffen the muscles and joints and prostrate the nervous system. We have prevented Bright's disease only so far as we have taught parents that measles and scarlet fever are serious diseases and never to be taken lightly. pneumonia Pneumonia may be classified as lobar or lobular; as primary or secondary; as streptococcic or diplococcic; as due to a mixed infection; as tubercular. The diagnosis is not easy. The treatment has not improved very much for the past seventy-five years. The disease results from clogging the machinery within—from checking internal secretion and active elimination. It is essentially a congestion of the small blood vessels and of the mucous membrane of the lungs. Too much protein; too much retention of waste; too much carbon and too little oxygen; the" surface chilled and the center congested; the presence of streptococci, diplococci or tubercle bacilli in the throat and bronchial tubes—all these things contribute to the cause of pneumonia. A large majority of deaths reported as due to pneumonia are in reality due to pulmonary tuberculosis.
