    the body, and thereby capable of being easily disengaged, suggest a method of relieving pul¬ monary disease likely to be attended with no ordinary success, by calling into greater activity the action of the skin, and thereby materially lightening the labour of the lungs ? Are we not the more encouraged to expect such remedial influence in diseases of the lungs, from the fact m of its great power in removing indurated glands, which are so common accompaniments of con¬ sumption ? There can be no doubt of the use¬ fulness of bisulphuret of carbon in skin diseases. I have submitted these observations under the conviction that they embody principles which may be carried out, and made of great utility to mankind. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, A. Turnbull, M.D. 48, Russell Square, Oct. 20, 1842.
