The origin of disease : especially of disease resulting from intrinsic as opposed to extrinsic causes : with chapters on diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment . i 11 »T7 .. THE LUNGS. 95 growth of fibrous tissue which is continuous with the pleura and ex-tends from it deeply into the lung. A fibrous growth extending fromthe pleura into the lung such as that depicted is evidently not a thick-ening of one of the pulmonary trabecular, but is a fibroid invasion ofthe lung tissue itself, which is liable to occur at any part. The growthof fibromas upon the surfaces of organs, the ordinary thickenings ofthe capsules, and the extension of fibrous growths from the capsulesinto the organs are very interesting phenomena. Whether diseasehas its starting-point in such growths, or whether these growths areonly secondary effects, is a question impossible to answer, but theanswer might point out the road to valuable knowledge. Fig. 70represents a phase of disease entirely different from any heretoforeshown. It is from the wall of a cavity in the lung of a man twenty-six years old who had pulmonary phthisis and died of , tubercular lung tissue is fib
