Transactions Of The Vermont State Medical Society For The Year 1893 PDF Download

Excerpt from Transactions of the Vermont State Medical Society, 1898: Meeting in 1899 at Burlington, Oct. 12th and 13th In the morning sessions the addresses were listened to with the usual interest, certainly the most unique one being that by Dr. J. B. Murphy of Chicago on the Cure of Consumption by Compression of the Lung. He claimed that he had and could cure pulmonary tuberculosis by compressing the lung through the introduction Of nitro gen into the chest cavity in such quantity as to give the lung tissue complete rest for a few weeks; startling as was the proposition he claims that it was the result of careful experimentation. The ever-recurring code discussion was revived by Dr. Hare of Philadelphia on the morning of the third day when he took the position that members of the so called heretical New York societies should be admitted to membership. This caused a heated discussion for a time but the presiding officer finally ruled the doctor out of order, no vote being taken.
