Beng from whom cometh every good and perfect

tubercles is from impure blood, and the immediate
effect produced by their deposition in the lungs is to
prevent the free admission of air into the air cells
which causes weakened vitality through the entire
ysten. Then surely it is more rational to expect
good from medicines entering the cavities or the lungs
than from those administered through the stomach;
the patient will always find the lungs free and the
breathing easy, after inhaling remedies Thus, In
