(7) Previous congestion. Whether the previous congestion of any organ has been a continuous normal one that is, a repeated functional activity or has been a morbid temporary overloading, it always leaves the walls of the vessels weakened and more predisposed to recurrent attacks from accidental causes than are perfectly healthy tissues. Thus a horse which has had a congestion of the lungs from a severe drive is liable to have another attack from even a lesser cause.
