DISTURBANCES OF THE LUNGS

One must not omit to look at the kidney areas, since lungs and kidneys have close connections with each other.

1. Pneumonia (inflammation of the lungs): in the muscle zone of the lung areas are seen distinct white clouds or wisps.

2. Emphysema (dilation of the lung): the lung area is dark and shows commencing lacunae (weakness-signs) extending outwards beyond the usual limits.

Every darkening in the lung areas is an expression of defective oxygen exchange, be it following acute emphysema, stasis from cardiac conditions, or merely reflective of poor breathing habits.

3. Pertussis (whooping cough): as with coughs from chill, whooping cough shows the usual white flakes or clouds in the appropriate areas during the early stages. In the convulsive stage it is evidenced by nerve rings which interrupt in the lung areas. After badly resolved whooping cough there remains a definite lung weakness, which shows as one or more large areas of darkening in the right iris at 40-47′. These dark signs greatly resemble the lacunae

(weakness-signs). If several of these signs are found in the lung and pleural areas (right 40 ‘-47′), together with others occurring simultaneously in the lower nasal quadrant (right 15′-20′), then there is a hereditary disposition to asthma.

If these signs are also found in the left iris, together with cardiac weakness-signs, then the patient suffers from cardiac and pulmonary asthma.

4. Pulmonary tuberculosis: tuberculosis of the lung is hardly to be recognised on the basis of the lung signs alone. It is necessary here to search for other signs, especially in the intestinal zone, kidney area, and in the mucous membrane zone of the lung fields. In the intestinal zone, lying close to the iris-wreath, the so-called ‘Schnabel-lacunae’ may be found—these can also lie outside the iris-wreath. Important signs confirming the suspected lung T.B. are stasis signs in the left kidney area. (With dark kidney area, also look for the ‘kidney-nail’= high arched finger nail.)

Further signs which give support to the diagnosis of lung T.B. are yellowish-white deposits in the mucous membrane zone of the lung areas. These can also appear in the form of small white clouds. A further sign is a very dark to black skin zone in this area. The deposit or clouds do not lie distributed in the manner typical of acute chill signs in the mucous membrane zone (arranged in arc form), but lie vertically one under the other in a straight line. In definite cases of lung T.B. the iris fibres in the lung area have the appearance of ‘combed hair’ (Maubach, Angerer).

Cavities are very difficult to recognise—as dark signs which are round at the bottom and flattened at the top, like a vertical section through a cup. In the dark grey sign lies a blacker point.

5. Pulmonary carcinoma: the signs for these conditions are very difficult to diagnose—especially for beginners. The signs are dark signs which extend in the width, and are not like the

weakness-signs which are oval in length, since these signs become more oval in breadth. The dark sign seems to project forward from the depths of the iris. There is always a toxin-fleck nearby.

6. Dry pleurisy: shows fine white lines in the pleural area which extend outwards to the skin zone.

7. Pleurisy with effusion: is suggested by an inward deviation of the skin zone as a dark arc formation at left iris 15′-17′ or right iris 43′-45′.

If simultaneously one finds light inflammation lines and small black signs in the back

areas—left iris 43′, right iris 17′—then the danger of suppuration is indicated.

If the inflammation signs are prominent in profile, then a protracted condition is indicated, especially when the signs are to be seen in the left iris at 40′-45′ nasal segment. When with conditions of this kind the signs are apparent in profile, then the possibility of T.B. must always be considered.

8. Pleural suppuration: usually appears after acute pleurisy, but, can also arise without evident cause. It shows as fine cobweb signs (trans-versales).
