In bringing to this common stock my humble mite, that the offering may not be wholly worthless, I have confined myself as much as possible to the detail of the facts that have been observed, and the statement of the results that have been obtained from experience. By giving a connected view of the phenomena I have hoped that I might possibly assist the actual practitioner to form a more adequate conception of the disease and guide him to that particular remedy which experience shews to be best adapted to each of the more important affections he is likely to encounter. Out of the means furnished for the accomplishment of these objects by the receptacle of fever for this great metropolis I have endeavoured to select such specimens of the disease as will place before him a vivid and faithful picture of the most interesting aspects it assumes, and such a detail of treatment as will shew what particular remedies afford the best chance of success in each type and stage, and in the most common and therefore the most important modifications they present. If I have at all succeeded in my aim he will find himself placed in a good measure in the same situation with myself; his attention will be directed to the same phenomena in the order in which they occur in the series, and hence he will have the like means of judging of the relations which these phenomena bear to each other, as well as of the accuracy of the analysis that has been attempted of the more complicated, and the soundness of the inductions that have been made from a comparison of the whole.
