Sub-pleu= ral cellular tissue. Immediately beneath the pleura and closely adherent to it is the sub-pleural cellular tissue which may be separated into numerous layers, each of which is spread out from the successive divisions and subdivisions of the Bronchial tubes; each layer being furnished with its special allotment of capillary blood -vessels given off from the Bronchial artery - Though these Bronchial arteries are thus minutely distributed upon the successive layers of cellular tissue, yet they cannot by the minutest injection be made visible on the tissue of the pleura itself; this structure therefore must be a product of secretion of the cellular tissue immediately beneath it, because it is impossible to suppose that its fabric is repaired by those branches of the Pulmonary system which alone are found to ramify within it, since those vessels are adapted only to accomplish the Respiratory function: but when false membrane has become depo= =sited on the surface of the Pleura, it will be seen, that these vessels penetrate through the Pleura and are freely distributed to the false membrane. <s>False mem= =brane Indur<\s> False mem= -brane Whenever it so happens that false membrane has been formed, the sub-pleural cellular tissue, which corresponds
