Book Description

Excerpt from A Treatise on Febrile Diseases, Vol. 2 of 2: Including the Various Species of Fever, and All Diseases Attended With Fever It is to be recollected that the effects of any temperature are not proportioned to its degree only, but to that and the difference be tween it and the previous temperature of the part to which it is applied hence sudden changes of temperature are apt to excite disease. There are few causes of simple inflammation more fre quent than sudden warming the hands or feet when chilled with cold. Irritation will sometimes excite inflammation, not in the part to which it is applied, but in a distant part. Thus we have see'n in considering eruptive fevers, that inflammation of the skin is often excited by irritation of the bowels and in considering the phleg masiae we shall find this observation still more strikingly illustrated.
