Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. For this addition to the numerous works on the subject of Consumption, the apology which I offer is a very old one, viz., the trust that I may have been able to add something to the sum of our knowledge of this disease. Whether or not I have succeeded in doing this, remains to be seen I have at any rate tried to bear in mind the maxim, that in order to do what has never been done, methods must be used which have not yet been employed.
