With the lungs, diseases occur that are especially characteristic of organs that are similar in relation to particles, as well as diseases of the instrumental organs, especially blockages of the pulmonary vessels and parts of the tube, in particular hard vessels, and blockages in the loose part of the substance of the lungs; they sometimes arise from reasons that cause all sorts of blockages in general, and even lead to complete closure. Common diseases also affect the lungs.
Lung diseases sometimes become more frequent in winter and autumn due to the frequency of catarrhs, especially in the rainy autumn following the dry “northern” summer. Cold air is bad for the lungs unless they are suffering from extreme heat. Lung diseases often lead to liver diseases, and extreme cold and extreme heat lead to dropsy. The same applies to the abdominal obstruction.
