Excerpt from On the Treatment of Hyperpyrexia as Illustrated in Acute Articular Rheumatism by Means of the External Application of ColdI published in the Lancet last year' an instance of a case where, by means of repeated immersions in the cold bath, life was protracted for nearly thirty-six hours after the patient's temperature, while suffering from acute rheumatism, had reached death finally taking place by exhaustion at a temperature of This case had been complicated by a large bleeding, practised before the bath was employed, in the hope of thereby producing a reduction of temperature, when this had reached 107 and when the patient was violently delirious. In my commentary on that case I showed that venesection to more than twenty ounces had no effect whatever in checking the rise of the temperature and I also expressed a hope that cases of this nature, treated in future by the cold bath and with out venesection, might yet show a favourable termination.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
