    LECTURE II. BRONCHITIS FROM MECHANICAL IRRITATION. PULMONARY CONSOLIDATION A COMMON SEQUEL OF BRONCHITIS FROM MECHANICAL IRRITATION INSIDIOUS COURSE OF DISEASE—GRINDEr's BRONCHITIS : SUPERVENTION OF PNEUMONIA ; OF GRINDEr's PHTHISIS DISTINCTION BETWEEN GRINDER's PHTHISIS AND TRUE PHTHISIS PUL- MONARY CONSOLIDATION MORE FREQUENT IN BRONCHITIS EXCITED BY INHALATION OF GRITTY PARTICLES BRONCHITIS EXCITED BY INHALATION OF LIGHT DUST, MORE FREQUENTLY UNCOMPLICATED PROGRESS OF DIS- EASE MUCH INFLUENCED BY CONSTITUTIONAL TENDENCIES BRONCHITIS FROM INHALATION OF UNWHOLESOME AIR—REMARKS ON TREATMENT. Gentlemen,—At the conclusion of my recent lec- ture I gave you two examples of chronic bronchitis, arising directly from mechanical irritation of the bronchial membrane, caused by the inhalation of dust. I propose, to-day, to resume the subject, and I shall presently bring before you a patient actually suffering from pulmonary disease, engendered by this cause. Tou will remember that the two patients, whose cases I related, both presented evidence of pulmonary consolidation, in addition to bronchial disease; and that, in the second case, the existence of this con- dition was. verified by post-mortem examination. You might, therefore, be inclined to doubt whether they could fairly be classed as cases of chronic bron-
