From the Ohio State Journal
There is probably no class Of diseases
whose mention awakens such terror in the
human mind rs Fevers. They constitute
some OF the most frequent and most dam
gerous affections TO which the body is liza
Die AS they are often extremely malig-
nant, are little understood as far as their
origin is concerned. and are most difficult
to successfully treat, DR.. Hartman was
asked not long since II he would not for
the benefit OF the afflicted, TO whose res
toration to health and happiness he is
nobly devoiing all his time and energy,
give public utterance TO some OF the ideas
and practical suggestions concerning Fe-
vers and their cure that his long and pre-
eminently successful career in the cure OF
these dangerous affections bad COM
mended to his reason and sound sense.
Though up to his neck in business OF the
most pressing and exigcnt character he
excused himself from his roomiul OF pa
tients long enough 10 say few words;
and, rs in these few words are boiled down
countless experiences with every form and
phase OF Fever extending over more than
| thirty years OF continuous and unusually
extensive practice, every word is worth its
weight in gold TO all who will weigh II
carefully and treasure 1t up in their minds
for future use.
at is not TO be denied" said the doctor
| THAT ievors arc dangerous and difficult
class OF diseases. The great trouble with
them is that il is often hard and sometimes
| impossible 10 distinguish the causes OF a
fever from It's symptoms, and n mistake is
| often fatal in its consequences. But what
ever may DO the exciting cause Of the fever,
II Is certain that il produces an irregular
action In the system of nutrition. This ir-
regularity is speedily conveyed to the rest
of the system by sympathetic action, and
thus IL becomes probable that the local in
Examinations and congestions, commonly
attending levers, are the consequences
rather than the causes OF tho dbordered
condition OF the system. But DO the
causes and tho consequences what they
may, there is no doubt whatever in re-
gard 10 the dangerous character OF icvers,
no doubt as TO the difficulty OF
curing them, no doubt that their excit-
ing causes are very numerous, and that
all ages and all climates are liable 10 them.
There arc fcycrs that carry our precious
babies away from ms, and thcro are those
that rob us OF our aged and beloved pa
rents. Sometimes they slowly waste away
/
naught but fragile bones bound together
by u burning aud almost transparent skin;
then again they come like thief in the
night, and in "a twinkling OF an eye they
have snatchcd their prey and vanished.
At all times they are enemies for whose
| coming all should DO most yigilantly on
! their guard, and for whose ropulso all
should be over and thoroughly prepared.
