An Exposition of the Practice of Affusing Cold Water on the Surface of the Body, as a Remedy for the Cure of Fever: To Which Are Added, Remarks on the ... Air in Certain Conditions of That Disease - Softcover
Synopsis
This 1808 medical treatise caused controversy by defending the use of cold baths as a cure for a fever, despite its effectiveness being well-documented. Its author, a former army physician, conducted his own experiments in the West Indies and England. His work argues against the widely held contemporary medical opinion that fevers were caused by increased body temperature. Instead, he theorized preventing fevers required a specific bodily state, which could be achieved through bloodletting and other preparatory measures before applying cold water to the skin.
