A Treatise on Fever

[22]. In scarlatina the affection of the skin modifies the febrile symptoms, as has just been said, considerably: in small-pox exceedingly. If, on this account, any one enamoured of nosological distinctions should wish to separate these varieties of disease, it might be done by dividing continued fever into—

1. Continued fever without an eruption;

Synochus mitior, Typhus mitior,

—— gravior, —— gravior:

2. Continued fever with an eruption;

Scarlatina, Variola,

Synochodes, Synochodes,

Typhodes, Typhodes:

and so on of all the Exanthemata.
