Ophthalmia has of iate been remaikably 
prevalent, probably trem fome temporary 
peculiarity in the ftate of the atmolphere, 
which it is impoflible to demonfrate or 
explain. . 
Tt ought, however, to be obferved and 
impreflec, that this, as well as almoft all 
other local affections, originate ina great 
meafure trom a difeafed tendency in the 
hereditary ftamina of the conditation: 
they are therefore not to be cured by im- 
_™mediate applications to the part affected, 
but rather by thofe remedies that are cal- 
culated to give vigour to, and to reftore 
or ameliorate, the deficient or impaired 
energies of the frame. 
Loca} affections, unlefs when they are 
oceafioned by accident or external vio- 
lenee, are for the moft part the refults of 
a morbid condition of the fyitem. 
On this account, difeafes of the joints 
for inftance, or of any of the lymphatic 
glands, (although vulgarly regarded as 
furgical cafes) fail, witht more propriety, 
under the care and management of the 
phyfictan. 
The Reporter has been very recently ' 
calied to cafes of fancied confumption 3 
all the fymptoms of which, in faét, ori- 
ginated from fimple debility. 
A deficieney ia the power of difcrimi- 
nating between the refults of mere weak- 
nefs, and thofe which oviginate from pul- 
monary diforganization, has given birth 
to great and important errors both in 
the theory and practice of medicine. 
- From this circumftance, confumption has 
appeared to be cured where it has not ac- 
tually exilted; and medicine and modes 
of treatment have been emplayed, which, 
fo far from in any degree relieving the 
fymptoms, were dire@tly calculated to im- 
pair and deftroy the health and conftitu.
