These sur- faces, in health, arc slightly sep- arated, but with the second stage of pleurisy the t(wo surfaces are {frequently brought into contact by Ithe bands .of partlally coagulated Ivmph extending between them, These bands may break up or they may become organized by the de- velopment of new blood vessels, may adhere permarently and blot out altogether a greater or less space, causing Interference to some extent with the free play of the |lungs. The third stage of the develop- {ment of pleurisy consists of a flow of fluid into the pleural cavity it self. The symptoms of pleurisy are not hard to recognize. The first sign is a pain in the chest, often called a “stitch in the side.” This pain is more severe if the patient breathes rapidly or moves about. There is a dry, distressing cough which appears to increase the pain, There is a constant tendency on the part of the patient to avoid coughing and the consequent dis- tress which is caused by the act. ‘The usual signs of fever, such as increased pulse rate, a hot skin {and flushed face are present. After a day or two, thers may be, as the condition progresses into the third stage, an effusion or flow of fluld into the pleural sack. When this occurs, the pain experi~ enced will be less but the breath- ing will be much more difficult. In cases where the outcome of an attack of pleurisy is favorabls and the patient recovers, this fluid {1s absorbed In a_few woeks. When absorption does not take place, it frequently becomes necestary for a physician to draw the fluid off through a hollow needle.
