PLEuRlrlC CONSUMPTION.
This variety Of consumption depcnd on an ef
fusion into the cavity Of she chest from inflam
nation fthe pleura. While the eiiusion into
the cavity Of the chest is going on the lung be
face Of the thorax, being gradually compressed
by the accumulated fluid until it is reduced to 1
very small size, and more or less disorganized
in its structure. While this is going on ucera
ton sometimes takes place in some parts OF the
pulmonary pleura and the corresr ondipp ami
stance Of the lung. and an opening is thus AIDE
into the bronchial tubes. through which the ef
fused ssro puruient fluid is discha rged by cough
or expectoration. When this takes place irrita
tive fever. with night sweats. frequent cough
emaciation. in short, all the ordinary SYMPTOMS
Of consumption supervene.
This form OF consumption is generally the
consequence of pleurisy. 1t is characterized by
sense Of oppression in the chest or lying down
difficult and hurried breathing in ascending
stairs, or muscular exertion short. disturbed
