 * That, as the volatile organic alkali—Ammonia is so freely engendered and retained in the vital economy from excessive exertion, heat, moisture, alcoholic liquors and other noxious ingesta, defective oxygenation, alimentation, depuration, and elimination, as well as introduced from without in tobacco smoke and other forms of malaria from decomposing organic matter, impure water, and otherwise, while it is solvent, acrimonous, irritant, disorganizing, and induces a typhohæmia or putrid dyscrasia, it is very apt to accumulate in excess in the blood and body and become the basis, source and origin of the toxæmic and infectious crasis of all scorbutic, necræmic, zymotic, septic, contagious, malignant, putrescent, mephitic, and allied diseases, especially of scurvy, typhus, typhoid, ship, yellow, congestive, bilious, remittent, malarial, puerperal, and other fevers, with cerebro‐spinal meningitis, small-pox, scarlatina, measles, diphtheria, cynanche maligna, erysipelas, anthrax, carbunculoid affections, and gangrenous sloughing, and phagedænic wounds, ulcers, and similar foul conditions generally, with hæmorrhœal, catarrhal, lymphoidal, serous, purulent, and other extravasations, as anasarca, hæmoptysis, hæmatemesis, hæmaturia, purpura, bronchorrhœa, leucorrhœa, albuminuria, diarrhœa, cholera in its various forms, and other defluxions, while it engenders an infectious type of an ordinarily innocuous disease, as pneumonia, or pleuropneumonia, dysentery, metritis, and other occasional septic varieties of usually non-contagious affections, as well as complicates and intensifies consumption, pertussis, gout, rheumatism, eczematous, and all other diseases— local and general, from the most insignificant and benign to the most malignant.
