    THE HISTORY, DIAGNOSIS, AND TREATMENT OF TYPHOID AND OF TYPHUS FEVER; WITH AN ESSAY ON THE DIAGNOSIS OF BILIOUS REMITTENT AND YELLOW OF FEVER. “ All diseases, then, ought to be reduced to certain and determinate kinds, with the same exactness as we see it done by botanic writers, in their treatises of plants. For there are diseases that come under the same genus, bear the same name, and have some symptoms in common, which, notwithstanding, being of a different nature, require a different treatment In writing, therefore, a history of diseases, every philosophical hypothesis, which hath prepossessed the writer in its favour, ought to be totally laid aside, and then the manifest and natural phenomena of diseases, however minute, must be noted with the utmost accuracy, imi at- ing in this the great exactness of painters, who in their pictures copy the smallest spots or moles in the originals. ”—Sydenham. By ELISHA BARTLETT, M. D., PROFESSOR OF THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF MEDICINE IN TRANSYLVANIA UNIVERSITY. PHILADELPHIA: LEA AND BLANCHARD. 1842,
