DISEASES CLASS IV. 1. 1. 8, 



iieve the disagreeable sensation of the stomach in consequence of 

 its disordered irritative associations; and in that case it would 

 belong to Class III. 1.1. See Class IV. 2. I. for another exam- 

 ple of tertiary association. 



M. M. Venesection. Emetic. Calomel. Cathartic, opium, 

 oil of cinnamon, from two to ten drops. Aerated alkaline water. 

 Peruvian bark. 



8. Febris Irritativa. Irritative fever, described in Class I. 1 . 

 1.1. The diseases above explained in this genus are chiefly con- 

 cerning the sympathies of the absorbent system, or the alimentary 

 canal, which are not so much associated with the arterial system 

 as to throw it into disorder, when they are slightly deranged; but 

 when any great congeries of conglomerate glands, which may be 

 considered as the extremities of the arterial system, are affected 

 with torpor, the whole arterial system and the heart sympathize 

 with the torpid glands, and act with less energy; which consti- 

 tutes the cold fit of fever; which is therefore at first a decreased 

 action of the associate organ; but as this decrease of action is 

 only a temporary effect, and an increase of exertion both of the 

 torpid glands, and of the whole arterial system, soon follows; the 

 hot fit of irritative fever, or fever with strong pulse, properly be- 

 longs to this class and genus of diseases.
