    Sciences in the seventeenth century, as the great work of Lord Bacon, which had appeared in 1620, was the im- mortal Novum Organon of all the physical and ^natural sciences. A clear distinction should be made between that which is esopathic and that which is endopathic in disease; and general pathology should follow the direction and order of physiology. Pathology deals with : 1. The causes of disease—^Etiology. ^Etiology is related with and gets its subject matter from : (a) Cosmical Physics. (b) Meteorology. (c) Geology. (d) Physical Geography. (e) The chemical constitution and relations, and]the fauna and flora of the atmosphere, earth and terrestrial waters. {/) Chemistry. (<») Botany. (h) Zoology. (*) Sociology. It has well been said that ./Etiology is without limits. 2. To ascertain the esoteric connections existing among diseases themselves. There are certain groups of symptoms which recur with the uniformity of a type in the most various diseases, which depend upon one constant factor—the human body and its structural and functional tendencies. The causation of disease may be classified as: (1) Exoteric—Exopathic. («) Injury from without, climate and terrestrial causes. (b) Parasites; including Bacteria, Bacilli, etc. (r) Morbific ferments and poisons engendered without the Kving organism. (2) Esoteric—Autopathic. («) Deficient rudiments and defective growth, premature morbidity or obsolescence, hypertrophy and atrophy. (A) Derangement of the chemical changes and disturbances of the balance of the forces by over-exertion. (c) The development of morbific agents within the body itself.
