Abstract

From time immemorial certain phases or symptoms of disease which have been uncertain in their pathology or whose pathology has been unknown, have been classified under general terms, vague and uncertain; and these terms have varied with the ages. Time was when the humors of the body accounted for all manifestations of disease which could not be accounted for or classified by the scapel, inspection, or inductive reasoning from the most simple and elementary medical facts.

The longer I study the matter, the more am I inclined to believe that a
