The resonant note or Skodaic resonance over the lung apex infront should, in the presence of dulness behind and flatness below,always arouse suspicion of fluid, for in these cases the lung is com-pressed upward, forward, and inward, thus causing the vesiculo-tjTnpanitic or amphoric note in front and above. The chest is partly filled with fluid, as is shown in Figs. 157 and158. I have quite frequently found this condition in infants andchildren who have for a long time lain on the back, and in whomadhesions have kept a layer of fluid in the position shown in the will be assumed for illustration that the right side is affected: Fig. 157 Via. 15S.
