Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Pulmonary Consumption, and Its Treatment by Inhalation of the Nutrient Elements of the Blood and Tissues, and Superficial or Endermic Applications
Although every organ comes in for a share in this depreciated quality of the blood, yet the lungs, the mesenteric glands, and brain become the chief locations for the deposition of tubercles. They may invade by solitary deposits, or by disseminations through the tissues, with symptoms easily recognized in the plurality of cases; or, by a most insidious infiltration of one or both lungs, the only noticeable deviation from health being the gradual, but at first hardly percept ible, difficulty of breathing, or its increasing rapidity. Sometimes, while the congestion is accruing in the pulmonary cells, a deceptive disturb ance in the functions of the stomach serves, for a time, to detract from suspicion of any error in the lungs.
