Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cincinnati Medical Repertory, Vol. 4 Dr. Carswell and a few other writers, advocate the doctrine that tubercnlar matter may be absorbed without undergoing any change, 'that is, without softening, and its common sequence the formation of vomica. Vogel and other pathologists deny this in the most positive manner, and consider the tubercular process, from first to last, disorganizing and destructive in its nature and tendency. Perhaps in the present state of our knowl edge, it cannot be positively determined, yet there are some reasons derived from analogy and practical experience which would lead to the conclusion that such absorption is possible. There cannot be the least doubt that at first tubercular matter is always deposited in a semi-daid state, and there is no evidence to Show that it immediately becomes indurated or concrete; and if it should remain uid for even a limited time, it would but obey the ordinary laws of the animal economy to re-enter the circulation by absorption. And it is a legitimate inference that such actions may be carried on for a considerable time, and thus retard or prevent the accumulation of the morbid matter, capeei ally in those cases where the tubercular predisposition is not very great, or, if favorable in uences are brought to act on the patient, there is every reason to believe that the tubercular exu dation, like the in ammatory, may be absorbed, and the parts regain their usual health.
