Except with the view above-mentioned, and in the parallel one of change of climate, that medical authors have been much more precise in their instructions on this subject. They have for the most part directed, that a situation enjoying a pure and salubrious air should be made choice of but in what this supposed salubrity consists; or Whether it is equally adapted to every variety of disease, they have not stopped to inquire. Situations which have been famed for the longevity of their inhabitants, have been very generally selected as the most favor able for the recovery of the sick: but what a fatal error this may lead to, with regard to the consump tive, Will be seen in the course of the following tree tise.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the effects of situational placement on pulmonary health. The author argues that a low elevation, such as a valley or low coastal area, can be highly beneficial in treating pulmonary consumption, and cites multiple case studies and examples from both medical practitioners and amateur observers to support this claim. The author makes the case that higher altitudes can potentially worsen symptoms and accelerate the progression of the disease. The book also explores the relationship between environmental factors and pulmonary health, such as the effect of humidity and atmospheric pressure on the respiratory system. The author argues that air which is heavy with moisture or other particles can be less irritating and more beneficial for those with lung issues. Ultimately, the author concludes that altitude can play a key role in the treatment of cases of pulmonary consumption, and that a low elevation can offer significant advantages in promoting recovery.
