About This Book

This work presents a practical investigation of fever, analyzing symptoms, pathology, and treatment through systematic observation and hospital case records. It distinguishes fever from inflammation, identifies recurring organ and functional derangements in nervous, circulatory, secretory, and excretory systems, and proposes a classification of febrile illnesses (notably synochus and typhus with milder and graver forms, and scarlatina-related fevers). Chapters combine symptom analysis, pathological findings, tables, and illustrative case studies to trace disease progression, criteria for recovery, and therapeutic indications, while emphasizing careful clinical method and the limits of existing theories.

APPENDIX.

The annexed Tables furnish, in general, their own commentary. The facts established by some of them are curious and important. I lay them before the reader without observation, at present; but I shall have occasion to return to them hereafter.
