Forty-one: Abscessed Lungs & That Pancreas. To note the absence of all the symptoms to which I directed my inquiries, would extend this paper to great length. Suffice to say, that with what little tact twenty years reading and practice had given me, I could not discover any immediate danger as to life, and told the patient so. The abscess was discharging not more than from one to two ounces of thin purulent matter in twenty-four hours; and nearly no cough…So much for not duly extending my inquiries into the history of the case.
