    when, as indeed is generally the case, it is attended by frequent cough. The stethoscope, in these cases, is a great assistant in the diagnosis; the respiratory murmur is heard in every part of the chest, and is even puerile; indeed, this heightening of the respiratory murmur is very characteristic of the disorder in question.” It is, however, impossible for me to do justice to Dr. Darwall by quotation. To be fully appreciated, his essay must be read entire. 1 would also recommend to those who may feel interested in the subject, a careful perusal of the essay by Dr. Brown, which contains many interesting observations and facts. From the various testimonies which have now been offered, it is evident that numerous disorders are de- pendant upon some morbid affection of the large ner- vous masses which give origin to the nerves of the affected parts. I shall therefore proceed to describe, according to my own opportunities for observation, va- rious morbid phenomena exhibited by the spinal nerves, under the head of “Irritation of the Spinal Marrow,” and several affections of the organs which derive their nerves from the sympathetic system, under “Irritation of the Ganglia of the Sympathetic.” | I shall defer any pathological discussion of these dis- eases, until the phenomena, by which they are charac- terized, have been described. f
