PNEUMOSKELETAL 



indicating chronic disease of the lungs due to the 

 inhalation of dust. Various names have been devised 

 denoting the kind of dust causing the inflammation : 

 anthracosis, or coal-miner's disease; siderosis, due to 

 inhalation of metallic dust ; ckalicosis, due to inhala- 

 tion of mineral dust. The dust-particles, when they 

 can no longer be disposed of by the natural protective 

 agencies of the lungs, find their way into the peri- 

 bronchial and peri-arterial lymph-spaces, where they 

 set up an inflammation. This is characterized by a 

 marked tendency to fibroid change, manifesting itself 

 in the formation of hard, indurated nodules of various 

 size. The lungs always present evidences of chronic 

 bronchitis, usually also of emphysema, and, in many 

 cases, of tuberculosis. The fibroid areas may soften 

 and break down, forming the so-called ulcers of the 

 lung. The softening may be due to tuberculosis, but 

 sometimes it is not.
