...brought into contact with each other, and the whole lung in an airless condition may be pressed into the back part of the chest alongside of the back bone, where it lies as useless, as far as breathing is concerned, as a strip of leather.

Impurities in the air are breathed in and cause fevers. The diseases which result from trouble to the respiratory organs are almost innumerable. It is estimated that...

Particularly is this true among Harvard men, - who seem to think of the law first, and medicine, ministry, and so on, second in their attempts to choose their future occupations. Harvard actually sends more men into schools of law than into schools of any other profession, and it is very probably true that a good majority...
