In this lecture I shall treat of external disorders, which may take
their origin either from injuries, or from internal acrimony of habit;
for whatever disturbs the animal œconomy, prevents the natural order of
the fibres, and those again when in disorder, corrupt the fluids.
Be the causes what they will, certain it is, that there is a strict
connexion between the external and the internal parts, to which due
regard ought ever to be paid. I shall without delay proceed to their
various kinds.
