Book Description
Excerpt from The Nature of Fever: Being the Gulstonian Lectures Delivered at the Royal College of Physicians of London in March 1887In the first place it is necessary to state what I mean by fever. I need hardly say that I do not refer exclusively to the specific infective diseases grouped together as the erup tive or continued fevers. I speak of the condition of feverishness or pyrexia which is common to these diseases and to many others - the disordered inward condition of the body-heat, whose frequent and most manifest outward sign is high temperature. It is of course true that the term fever conveys to our mind a more complex notion - it implies, in general, disorder of the circulation and the respiration, of secretion and digestion, of the nervous system and the mus culat system, as well as of the body-heat. But without say ing, as some have said, that all the other disorders of function which we describe as febrile are merely consequences of the disorder of temperature, I shall not be going too far if I state at the outset that the essential fact in fever - the condition which is always present whether other of its symptoms are present or absent - is disorder of the body-heat. In using the word essential rather than primary, I wish to avoid the pre-judgment suggested by the latter. Other conditions may precede in time or in causation the essential symptom of disordered heat, and according to the confidence or the refinement of our analysis we may term one. Or another of them primary, but not until the essential symptom is present have we to do with fever. We have a like state of things inthe case of inflammation. The single word covers a whole series of processes; each process is a complex of many ele ments. It implies changes textural and changes vascular, changes nervous and changes mechanical. And in the gradual development of pathological knowledge now one and now another of these has been regarded as primary. But to-day we are justified in holding, for the reasons so admirably set forth by your Lumleian lecturer in 1882, that alteration or damage of the minuter blood vessels is the essential condition, without which there is no inflammation.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
"The Nation has lost sight of its public health goals and has allowed the system of public health to fall into 'disarray'," from The Future of Public Health. This startling book contains proposals for ensuring that public health service programs are efficient and effective enough to deal not only with the topics of today, but also with those of tomorrow. In addition, the authors make recommendations for core functions in public health assessment, policy development, and service assurances, and identify the level of government--federal, state, and local--at which these functions would best be handled.
