A Treatise On The Continued Fevers Of Great Britain PDF Download

Excerpt from A Treatise on the Continued Fevers of Great Britain The voluminous literature on the subject Of F evers, proves the interest attached to them by medical men, in all ages, down to the present day. Like other contagious and epidemic diseases, which are due to the action of a Specific poison, Continued Fevers possess a peculiar attraction for the medical philosopher, inasmuch as their study involves an investigation, not merely of their symptoms, pathology, and treatment, but more especially of the causes Of their varying prevalence at different periods, and of the laws that regulate their origin and propagation; while, at the same time, a knowledge of fever in the abstract, is indispensable for the study and treatment of all acute diseases. In the Whole range Of human maladies, ' said Graves, one Of the greatest authorities on the subject, there is no disease of such surpassing interest and importance as fever.'
