Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive treatise on the methods of treating fevers through purgation. The author, a physician recognized in his own time, provides insights into the causes and progression of fever, and how to determine the best course of treatment based on the prevailing symptoms. The work is an expansion of the author's teaching notes gathered over many years of active practice treating fever patients. It draws on the author's many years of experience as well as the teachings of Hippocrates and Galen, whose work forms a cornerstone of Western medical thought. The author first discusses the nature of fever, noting that it is an abnormal condition in which the body's natural heat becomes excessive. The primary cause of fever is an imbalance of the four humors�"blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile�"which can be brought on by external factors such as infection, injury, or poor diet. An excess of any of these humors can disrupt the body's processes and lead to fever. The author then discusses the different types of fever, including intermittent fevers (which come and go), continuous fevers (which remain constant), and remittent fevers (which fluctuate in severity). He also discusses the symptoms of fever, such as chills, sweating, thirst, and headache, and how to recognize which symptoms are associated with which type of fever. The author then examines the methods of treating fever, including bleeding, purging, and sweating. He provides detailed instructions on how to perform each procedure, and how to determine which procedure is most appropriate for a given patient. He also discusses the use of diet and lifestyle changes to treat fever, and how to prevent fever from recurring. The author concludes by emphasizing the importance of treating fever early and aggressively. He notes that fever can be a dangerous condition if left untreated, and that early intervention can help to prevent serious complications. He also notes that while bloodletting is a common treatment for fever, it should only be performed by a qualified physician, as it can be dangerous if done incorrectly.
