until the fumes rise freely and then
taken into the lungs as often as may be
considered necessary. Two or three

harm would be done-in fact, / say a
patient could breathe the fumes for a
long time without injurious effects be-
ing known.
The first case tried was one OF chronic
bronchitis in connection with tuber-

under control in eighteen days, the
cough having ceased and the patient.
