Synopsis
Excerpt from 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 Effects of Cold Drink, and of Gestation in the Open Air in Certain Conditions of That Disease
The following workai has assumed a form, and grown into a magnitude which was not origi nally in the contemplation of its Author. In looking into the fourth edition of Dr Curric's Medical Reports on the Effects of Water, which came to my hands in summer 1806, I found that I was there charged with arrogating to myself the merit of introducing the practice of affusing cold water on the surface of the body as a remedy for the cure of fever a discovery, which Dr Currie holds to be due to Dr Wright? Whose name, he remarks, I had unaccountably omitted to mention Conscious of perfect.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. 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.
