About this work

Description

Typescript, with holograph corrections and additions. An expansion of the English original of No. 10. The author declared 'that consumption is the direct result of the accumulation of an irritant poison in the system, due to the reduction of the breathing surface of the lungs that has been produced by conditions that have that tendency'. He claimed a certain cure by means of open air life, and breathing exercises to develop the lungs.
