In the public and private Pradiice of one of the Phyficians of the Finfoury Dipinsery, 
From the 20th of February, to the 20tb of March, — 
This is the period of the year at which 
inflammatory compiaints are more parti- 
cularly apt to occur ; although at no fea-_ 
- fon do they bear any confiderable propor- 
tion to that vaft mafs of maladies with 
which the prefent race of mankind are lia- 
ble to be aiflifted,. 
Difeafes have retained their ancient 
mame, whilit they have been altered 
in their intrinfic charaéter, by a gra- 
dual progrefs cf innovation in the faieone 
habits, and circumfiances, of modern fe 
ciety. 
Sydenham was the firt phyfician of his 
day, and, perhaps, has net been furpaffed 
in reputation or i) merit by any EMR 
but if bh 
mode of treatment were, out of epee. to 
his venerable authoiity, to be adopted in 
cafes that are-now fubmitted to our pro- 
feffional care, it would prove as delete- 
rious as it furmerly was conducive to 
health and the prefervation of exifience. 
It is on this account that that learned lore, 
on which io many pride themlelves, is of

now prevail are, in general, marked by an 
extreme of debility, and every fymptom 
that follows from .an exhauftion of the 
mental and phyfical energies of the a 
tem.,* 
2 In thefe latter affe@tions jaa and 
increafed action is often confpicuous. The 
patient not unfrequently exhibits more muf- 
cular exertion than would have been accom- 
plifhedin a condition of health. This, how- 
ever, isa demonftration not of augmenteds 
but of opprefled power. Extraordinary ef- 
fort« of this kind are, in general, made dur- 
ing the delirium of typhus, a ftate in which: 
the depreffion of ftrength is particularly re- 
markable. 
bitions of morbid energy are very far from 
indicating the genuine chiracteriftic of 
firength, which thews itfelf only i in a capa- 
city for regular and continued action: The 
human machinery is of fo complicated a 
ftructure, and its motions, although various, 
are all fo connected and dependent upon each 
other, that its derangement in one part may 
produZé a temporarily increafed action in the 
whole machine, in the fame manner as a 
watch chain, if broken, will run down with 
increafed and inordinate force.
