The inquiry seeks a solution from general, not from local causes, and asks whether this, or any form of renal degeneration, has any connexion with the tubercular habit of body. Whether the tubercular diathesis, expressed as it is by vitiated processes of nutrition, is not frequently associated with renal degeneration, not accidentally, but as a consequence of those depraved processes.
