Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on Pulmonary Tuberculosis: Embracing Its History, Pathology, and Treatment In the third part, I have considered the treatment of the dis ease. I have endeavored to show the importance of local treatment in the early stage of the affection, particularly in the chronic form, especially where follicular degeneration has preceded the development of tubercles in the lungs. Great pains were taken in the examination of the cases of phthisis which presented themselves for treatment. Of 558 cases of phthisis that came under my observation, 311 were males and 247 females. Of this number, 377 had disease in the right lung, and 234 in the left. Of the females (247) 147 were first diseased in the right lung, and 100 in the left. In the treatment of a large number of cases during many years of observation, about the same proportion in the nature of the lesion and in its location was remarked. Hence, the plan of treatment I have recommended, was adopted, and has been carried out during a period of over twenty-five years.
