Excerpt from Consumption in New England: Or, Locality One of Its Chief Causes, an Address Delivered Before the Massachusetts Medical Society

This pamphlet is an exact transcript of the address I delivered before the Massachusetts Medical Society in May last. The force of facts, presented to me by correspondents, compelled me to resign the commonly received opinion, that consumption is equally diffused throughout New England, and to adopt the views of the address, viz. That there are some spots which have very little of this scourge of the human race, while in other places, and even in particular houses, it prevails to a frightful degree and moreover, that these spots may be, perhaps, within a very short distance from each other.

Again: facts, as I believe, indicate that dryness of the soil, in the surroundings of any place, is the prominent characteristic of the former, or of places comparatively free from consumption; while dampness of the soil characterizes the latter, or - as they may be aptly called - consumption breeding districts.
