PART I. 



OF PYREXIAE, OR FEBRILE DISEASES. 



VI. Pyrexiae, or febrile diseases, are distinguished by the fol- 

 lowing appearances. After beginning with some degree of cold 

 shivering, they shew some increase of heat, and an increased 

 frequency of pulse, with the interruption and disorder of several 

 functions, particularly some diminution of strength in the ani- 

 mal functions. 



VII. Of these Pyrexiae I have formed a class, and have sub- 

 divided it into the five orders, of Fevers, Inflammations, Erup- 

 tions, Haemorrhagies, and Fluxes, (See Synopsis Nosologies 

 Methodicce.)
