Excerpt from Change of Air: Considered With Regard to Atmospheric Pressure, and Its Electric and Magnetic Concomitants, in the Treatment of Consumption Chronic Disease, With a General Commentary on the Most Eligible Localities for Invalids Consumption is unquestionably at the head of all fatal diseases. No single malady appears even to approach it. How highly important, then, it is to institute a scientific inquiry into the principles which ought to regulate "Change of Air", when it is known that, after all remedies have failed, medical men recommend travelling - a sea voyage, or some other expedient to secure such change, as the last resource. Sometimes such changes produce wonderful effects, but on what grounds has never been satisfactorily explained. "Change of Air" must therefore be admitted to be prescribed empirically, and not according to any rational principle.
