 intestinesj sometimes become the cause of diseasej 

 as of fever for instance, it cannot on this account 

 be called a general disorder, since tlie cause of it 

 is entirely local. The bilious, gastric, pituitous, and 

 verminous fevers so mucli in vogue during the last 

 century, ought to be considered as simple local af- 

 fections, or as complaints wholly chimerical ; as 

 accurate and observing physicians have agreed.* 



If we arc to understand by verminous disease, 

 the verminous affection general in appearence, 

 which is occasioned by the accidental presence of 

 worms in the stomach, disturbing the functions of 

 the system, because tliey derange the functions of 

 the stomach which is in other respects liealtliy ; we 

 cannot deny this, provided we view it as depend- 

 ing on a local injury, and differing from a general
