    of Continued Fevers, I have restricted myself as much as possible to practical details, avoiding dis- cussions on their proximate cause—a subject of which so little is known, and on which the most discordant views have been entertained. I have dwelt, tediously perhaps, but earnestly, on the importance of discriminating the forms which fevers assume, and more especially on the plienomena by which enteric (typhoid) is distin- guished from typhus fever; and I hope the argu- ments I have advanced, corroborated by the opinion of others who have investigated the subject care- fully and dispassionately, may tend to convince such of my professional brethren as are still in doubt on this essential part of the pathology of fevers. Pall Mall, September, 1862,
