A brush with handle bent at a right angle will be most serviceable. A solution of chloride of zinc in water to the extent of ten to forty grains to the ounce, and thcji dilutt d one half with glycerin, is excellent; but at first great care must Iw exercised lest glottic spasm be produced. Plewiiy.—The inner surface of the thoracic walls, the upper aspect of the diaphragm, and the lungs themselves, are covered with an elastic smooth membrane, lubricated in health with a small quantity of fluid secreted by its own investing cells. In pleurisy or inflammation of this covering it be- comes dry, the friction of the opposed surfaces gives rise to pain, and sometimes to a rough grating or crackling sound—" friction sound "—which is diagnostic. Causes.—Similar to those producing other inflamma- tions of the respiratory tract, but, in addition, various con- ditions of the system, as rheumatism, kidney disease, blood poisoning {septiccBmia), etc. It is a frequent complication or accompaniment of other diseases of the lungs when it is.
