An Enquiry Illustrating the Nature of Tuberculated Accretions of Serous Membranes: And the Origin of Tubercles and Tumours in Different Textures of the Body (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from An Enquiry Illustrating the Nature of Tuberculated Accretions of Serous Membranes: And the Origin of Tubercles and Tumours in Different Textures of the Body

The following pages contain only one portion of the work which the Author intends to lay before the public. He expected to have had the whole finished many months ago, but unavoidable delays have retarded its progress. As they are not of a nature to be entirely obviated, he is induced to bring forward what is now finished, reserving for a second Treatise, further Illustrations of the Subjects discussed in this Enquiry, together with Observations on Diseases of the Mucous Surfaces, and on some other Affections of the Serous Membranes of the Thorax and Abdomen, Allusions are made to these observations in the Introduction and other parts of this Volume; and it is the Authors wish, should the present attempt be favourably received, to expedite their publication as much as possible.
