Book excerpt: Excerpt from Yellow Fever, Considered in Its Historical, Pathological, Etiological and Therapeutical Relations, Vol. 2 of 2: Including a Sketch of the Disease as It Has Occurred in Philadelphia From 1899 to 1854 It is a fact well known in medicine, that some diseases exhibit a marked preference for certain temperaments, while they spare, to a greater or less extent, others differently endowed in that respect. Each period of life has its maladies. The two sexes, and the various races, are not equally liable to the same complaints, and, when seized, do not run the same risk as to a fatal issue and the professional reader need not be told, that while some diseases affect the system but once - while some extend their ravages to all classes indiscriminately - others are subject to frequent repetitions, or, though widely ditfused, afl'ect certain individuals less violently than others, or even allow them to brave the danger of exposure with perfect impunity. Ou each of these points the yellow fever of this and other places offers so wide a field of investigation, and several of them have given rise to such a number of con tradictory statements, that the objects of the present work - historical and comparative as they are - would be but imperfectly attained were we not to dwell upon these points somewhat in detail.
