Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Pulmonary Consumption, a Nervous Diseases: Considered as Such From a Practical, a Clinical, and a Therapeutic Standpoint
That pulmonary consumption is not due to one single cause, is but too apparent to anyone who takes a clear and an unbiased view of its origin. The general evidence already collected, shows pointedly enough that occupation, want of exercise, insufficient food, inheritance, excesses of all kinds, sex, order of birth, dampness, and change of climate are powerful factors in the production of this disease; and in care fully watching the progress oi consumption one can not help but be impressed with the belief that in many, and probably in all such patients, a disturbance of the nervous system plays either a causative or a concomitant role in its history.
