[72]. Two things chiefly operate to prevent the benefits which would arise from sailing. The one is, that physicians seldom order it till the disease is too far advanced; and the other is, that they seldom order a voyage of a sufficient length. A patient may receive no benefit by crossing the channel, who, should he cross the Atlantic, might be completely cured. Indeed we have reason to believe, that a voyage of this kind, if taken in due time, would seldom fail to cure a consumption.
[73]. Though I do not remember to have seen one instance of a genuine consumption of the lungs cured by medicine, yet I have known a West India voyage work wonders in that dreadful disorder.
