XXL NO. 3= DECEMBER, 1944 The secretion of mucus has at least two beneficial results—the protection of tissues, and the excretion of wastes from infections in the mucous membranes. In the treatment of bronchitis we can assist nature in achieving the latter end by admirustering expectorant drugs which increase the volume of respiratory tract fluid-^These expectorant drugs keep the mucus thin and fluid so the tracheal cilia can move it along to the throat, from which coughing and expectoration finally remove it. Thus, two benefits are achieved. First, natural excretion is aided. Second, the accumulation of mucus in the lungs, with the attendant threat of pneumonia, is avoided. But sometimes it is important that the patient get some rest, especially from exhausting periods of night coughing. A sedative is needed to temporarily depress the activity of the "cough center^g To aid in the achievement of these aims in the treatment of bronchial conditi- tions, the E.B. Shuttleworth Chemical Company offers two preparations: Sci- lexol (plain and with sedatives) and Bronexol. Scilexol E. B. S. Contains in each fluid ounce: Ammonium Chloride. 16 grs. Chloroform.
