The unhealthy viscid secretions of the larynx and bronchi, andthe pulmonary sputa, readily adhere to these projections, andaccumulate there, irritating the membrane and the glands,and perhaps become in part absorbed and actually lead to thefollicular ulceration, as originally suggested by Louis. Theirpresence excites frequent occasion to clear the glottis and inter-arytenoid fold from clumps of adherent mucus which produceirritation and irrepressible cough. The lateral walls of thelarynx soon undergo augmented tumefaction, and the ven-tricular bands project, sometimes on both sides, but morefrequently on one side only, so as to overlap the vocal cordsmore or less completely; their borders approximate in clos-ure of the glottis before those of the vocal cords themselves,sometimes, indeed, vibrati
