Chronic disease Of the stomach produces disease in
other organs through the agency nervous svttem;
the disturbance of irritation created by diseased points
in the stomach is carried along the nerves to some near
organ with which it has communication, aud the
disease there set is said to be sympathetic disease
the organ is said to he secondarily affected. As an
instance of this sympathy person receiving blow on

Consumption is as capable Of being cured as almost
any other disease when not too far advanced-when the
lungs not too much consumed. 1t is impossible TO
