PLEURIllC CONSUMPTION.
This variety 81 consumption depends on an ef-

nation OF the pleura. While the eiiusion into

face OF the thorax being gradually compres sed

| pulmonary pleura aud the corresL onding sub
stance of the lung. and an opening is thus mad

| fused ssro- puru,ent tud is discharged 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. II is characterized BY
sense Of oppression in the chest or lying down,
| difficult and hurried breathing in ascending
stars, or muscular exerlion short, disturbed
sleep short, tickling cough, aggravated on irst

deep breath. he will complain OF pain. tighin ness,
