The Nature and the Mode of Propagation of Phthisis

Sir,?The paper I send enclosed was received by me last December, in sealed packet, from Dr. William Budd, of Clifton, with a request that I would take charge of it until he should direct me to break the seal. At his desire, opened the packet a few days ago, and I now send you the contents, request' ing the favour of their early publication in The Lancet. They are an epitofl^ of what Dr. W. Budd has been for some time intending to publish in a mofe complete form; but his intention has been frustrated, and is still delayed, W the engrossments of professional practice and other circumstances beyond hlS control. # .
