Excerpt from book: be the daily medicine of such as are disposed to the disease, and cannot travel a greater distance. To prevent the ravages of consumption in one already predisposed, especial attention must be paid to nourishment, air, and exercise, so that he may be placed in circumstances the most favourable to acquire robust health: by removing functional derangements as they occur; by maintaining a healthy condition of the digestive organs; and, above all, by obtaining prompt and efficient counsel on the advent of the slightest pulmonary disturbance, we may confidently hope so to invigorate the constitution, as to turn aside and overcome the liability to tuberculous disease.
