Excerpt from Essay on Medical Pneumatology: A Physiological, Clinical, and Therapeutic Investigation of the Gases This work, issued under the title of "Essay on Pneuma-tology," has nothing in common, except its title, with the work of Combalusier, published in 1747, and entitled, "Pneumato-Pathologia Seu Fractatus de Flatulentis Humani Corporis Affec-tibus." As its title indicates, this latter work includes only the subject of gastro-intestinal pneumatosis, and in this direction some useful observations may still be derived. In our essay the object has been to study those diseases in which the gases play a certain role, as the pneumatoses and the emphysemas, and to study the applications which may be made of the gases in therapeutics. At the period when Priestley and Lavoisier made their immortal discoveries, oxygen and carbonic acid became the objects of very interesting and important investigations on the part of physicians and physiologists. The latter sought, in the study of these gases, a new cause of diseases, while the former, on the contrary, hoped to find new means of treatment. Hence, for Beddoes, who was much occupied in the application of the gases to therapeutics, there were diseases with excess of oxygen; for example, he imagined that phthisis is a disease in which there is a predominance of this gas in the blood. Rollo went still further than Beddoes. He divided diseases into two great classes: one with excess of "vital air," as diabetes; and the other with a dearth of this element, such as scorbutus.
