Book Description
Excerpt from A System of Practical Medicine, Vol. 1 of 3: Comprised in a Series of Original Dissertations The variability of the standard of disease may be farther illustrated by oh serving how the same structures and' actions vary in different species. The dilatation of an artery which in the human subject would be considered aneurism, is normal in some of the Cetacea. The air-cells in the lungs of turtles have naturally a development, which in man would be emphysematous; and again, the normal thickness of the parietes of the heart in birds, and of the stomach in horses, represents what is known as hypertrophy in the human organism. In some of the Carnivora, and in birds of prey, the condition of the blood and the secretions, together with the action of the heart, and that of the respiratory organs, present a group of symptoms not very unlike what physicians designate inflam matory fever. Disease is often distinguished as structural or functional. Thus, hypertrophy of the heart is a structural disease, but mere palpitation is functional. Some have maintained that all diseases must be structural, because the deranged action of an organ implies a fault in the machinery. But, without insisting on such objec tions to this view as might be grounded on the fact, that the action of a machine may be disturbed by a disproportionate exertion of the impelling power, inde pendently of any fault in its works, we content ourselves with remarking, that disease of the structure itself must have been preceded by disordered action; that is, disordered nutrition of the part. The terms in question, however, are applied principally to the affections of special organs, rather than of their constituent tissues; and it must be allowed that there are very few instances in which the action of the organ is deranged, without alteration in some of its parts. The organ, strictly speaking, consists not only of the solid structure, but also of the fluid, which traverses it; and therefore any abnormal quantity or condition of this huid comes properly under the denomination of organic disease.

Book Description
Excerpt from A System of Practical Medicine, Vol. 1: Pathology and General Diseases Throughout the work the chief purpose of the editor and of his collab orators, to furnish a concise and thoroughly practical system of medi cine, has compelled the omission of bibliographical lists, of numerous ref crenees, and of extended discussions of theoretical views or of contro verted questions, in order that more Space might be devoted to clear descriptions of disease and to a full presentation of the subjects of diag nosis and treatment. If it should seem, in consequence, that inadequate recognition has been made of the labors of others, it must be borne in mind that ample quotations and numerous references were inadmissible in such a work as the present.
