THE TREATMENT OF PHTHISIS. Heinze in his classical work on laryngeal phthisis published in 1879, in his third and final conclusion says,” a cure of laryngeal consumption will most probably never be made.” Although since this was written the progress of fourteen years has introduced new methods and new remedies, but few cures have been reported, and some of these must be taken sub judice as sufficient time from the apparent recovery had not been allowed to provide for the occurrence of relapses.
