1(J2 DISEASES CLASS II. 1. 2. 



ORDO I. 



A 



Increased Sensation. 

 GENUS II. 



With the production of new Vessels by internal Membranes or 

 Glands, with Fever. 



IN the first class of diseases two kinds of fevers were described, 

 one from excess, and the other from defect of irritation; and 

 were in consequence termed irritative, and inirritative fevers. 

 In this second class of diseases another kind of fever occurs, 

 which is caused by excess of sensation, and termed in conse- 

 quence Sensitive Fever. But there is no fever from defect of 

 sensation, because the circulation is carried on in health without 

 our consciousness, that is, without any sensation attending it. 



But as excess of sensation may exist with excess or defect of 

 irritation, two other kinds of fever arise from a combination of 

 sensitive fever with the irritative, and inirritative ones. Making 

 five kinds in all. 



1. Irritative fever/ described in Class I. 1. 1. 1. 



2. Inirritative fever. Class I. 2. 1. 1. 



3. Sensitive fever. Class II. 1. 6. 1. 



4. Sensitive irritated fever. Class II. 1. 2. 1. 



5. Sensitive inirritated fever. Class II. 1. 3. 1. 



As the sensitive irritated fever attends all the diseases enume- 

 rated under the genus about to be described, it is placed at the 

 head of it. And as the sensitive inirritated fever accompanies 

 the greatest number of the species enumerated under the third 

 genus of this order, it is placed at the head of them. And as 

 the sensitive fever attends the diseases of the sixth genus, it is 

 placed at the head of them. But as every febrile paroxysm con- 

 sists of disordered tribes or trains of associated motions, it may be 

 doubted, whether they ought not all to have been placed in the 

 fourth class, amongst the diseases of association. See Class IV. 

 2.4. 11. 



All the subsequent species of this genus are attended with sen- 

 sitive irritated fever; there are nevertheless some superficial in- 

 flammations, which affect the same situations without much fever, 

 as the scrofulous ophthalmy and spurious peripneumony, which 

 belong to other genera. 



Inflammation is uniformly attended with the production or 

 secretion of new fibres constituting new vessels; this therefore
