Book Description
Excerpt from Lectures on Fevers These lectures were delivered in the Medical Department of the University of the City of New York, to the Class of 1876-77. With unimportant alterations, I now offer them as they were photographically reported by Dr. Win. M. Carpenter. As in the preparation of my "Lectures on Diseases of the Lungs, Heart, and Kidneys." it has been my custom after careful reading and close analysis of the subject of each lecture, to trust that the stimulus of the class would enable me to present the most recent views of acknowledged authorities, combined with the results of my own clinical observation and experience, in so simple, intelligible, and concise a manner that each student might master the prominent points. I have adopted an etiological basis in the classification of fevers, and have endeavored to include in a few general classes all the numerous types described by different writers. I have referred to theoretical questions only so far as was necessary in order to the proper understanding of subjects under consideration. The Bibliography which accompanies these lectures includes those books, monographs, and theses which have been published since 1850, nearly all of which have been written, or are in circulation, in this country.
