Book excerpt: Excerpt from Clinical Reports on Continued Fever: Based on Analyses of One Hundred and Sixty-Four Cases; With Remarks on the Management of Continued Fever; The Identity of Typhus and Typhoid Fever; Relapsing Fever; Diagnosis, Etc Dr. Jenner's results during the preparation of these reports had it been practicable. The second paper following the third report, relates to Relaps ing fever, and presents the results of an analysis of fifteen cases, among those observed during the autumn of 1850 and the winter of 1851-52 characterized by the occurrence of relapses, and, as the results of the analysis show, by other of the features which are said to belong to an affection re cently described by Dr. Jenner. And others, as a distinct form of continued fever. The two papers just mentioned have also appeared in the Buffalo Medical Journal, and cover seventeen pages of the following work. Finally, in collecting the foregoing reports, etc, for publication in the present volume, the author concluded to add a memoir on the Transporta tion and diffusion, by contagion, of Typhoid fever, exemplified in its occur rence at North Boston, Erie Co.' The reasons for inserting the memoir in this volume will be found in the propriety of the connection with the prece ding pages so far as relates to the nature of the subject, and in the interest and importance which, in the author's estimation, belong to the facts therein contained considered in their hearing on the question of contagion. So much for the origin and preparation of the work. The manner of its publication should now, in justice to the author, be explained. During the publication of the first report in the Buffalo Medical Journal, the author was desirous of having it issued separately, and an edition of a thousand copies was accordingly struck ofi', as successive portions appeared in the Jour nal. A small part of the report remaining to be prepared, the edition was not issued prior to the following summer, and then deferred in order to include the second report. Again, it was deferred until the present summer in order to embrace the third report. The printing of the volume has thus been going on, intermittingly, during the past three years, being executed only as fast as successive portions were inserted in the Medical Journal. This must be an apology, not only for some typographical blemishes which may be discovered, but for defects in the arrangement of the matter contained in the work. Were it proposed to prepare a treatise on Continued fever after the three reports had been published, based on the facts therein contained, the plan adapted would be much more convenient for the reader, and alto gether better. The results of the different analyses might then be brought together, and the work condensed by excluding some details which might with advantage be dispensed with.
