and therefore not liable to be mixed with the saliva; whereas the variolous
matter is probably only diffused in the air, and thence more readily mixed
with the saliva in the mouth during respiration. This difference appears
more probable, as the small-pox I believe is always taken at a less
distance from the diseased person than is necessary to acquire the measles.
The contagion of the measles affects the membranes of the nostrils, and the
secretion of tears in consequence, but never I suspect the stomach
primarily, but always secondarily; whence the pulsation of the heart and
arteries is always stronger than natural, so as to bear the lancet at any
period of the disease.
The great mildness sometimes, and fatality at other times, of the scarlet
fever may depend on the same circumstance; that is, on the stomach being
primarily or secondarily affected by the contagious matter, observing that
the tonsils may be affected at the same time with the stomach. Should this
prove to be the case, which future observations must determine, what
certain advantage must arise from the inoculation of this disease! When it
is received by the skin primarily I suppose no sore throat attends it, nor
fever with weak pulse; when it is received by the stomach primarily, the
tonsils are affected at the same time, and the torpor of the stomach
produces inirritative fever, and the mortification of the tonsils succeeds.
We may hence conclude, that when the torpor of the stomach is either owing
to defect of stimulus, which is not so great as to impair the life of the
part, as in moderate hunger, or in swallowing iced water, or when its
torpor is induced by its catenation or association with other torpid parts,
as in the commencement of intermittent fevers, and inoculated small-pox,
that the subsequent action of the heart and arteries is generally
increased, producing irritative fever. Which is owing to the accumulation,
of the sensorial power of irritation in one case, and of association in the
other, contributing to actuate the next link of the catenated or associated
motions. But when the torpor of the stomach is induced by previous
exhaustion of its sensorial powers of irritation or of association by
continued violent action, as by the stimulus of digitalis, or of contagious
matter, or after intoxication from wine or opium, a weaker action of the
heart and arteries succeeds, because there is no accumulation of sensorial
power, and a deficient excitement of association. And finally, as this weak
action of the heart and arteries is not induced by exhaustion of sensorial
power, but by defect of the excitement of association, the accumulation of
this power of association increases the action of the capillaries, and thus
induces inirritative fever.
7. When any part of the system acts very violently in fevers, the sensorial
power of sensation is excited, which increases the actions of the moving
system; whereas the pain, which arises from decreased irritative motions,
as in hemicrania, seems to exhaust a quantity of sensorial power, without
producing or increasing any fibrous actions.
When the stomach is primarily affected, as in inirritative fevers from
contagion, and in such a manner as to occasion pain, the action of the
capillaries seems to be increased by this additional sensorial power of
sensation, whence extensive inflammation or mortification; but when the
stomach and consequently the heart and arteries continue their torpidity of
action; as in confluent small-pox, and fatal scarlatina; this constitutes
sensitive inirritative fever, or typhus gravior.
But when the stomach is secondarily affected, if the sensorial power of
sensation is excited, as in pleurisy or peripneumony, the actions of the
heart and arteries are violently increased, and of all the moving system
along with them. Thus the peripneumony is generally induced by the patient
respiring very cold air, and this especially after being long confined to
warm air, or after being much fatigued and heated by excessive labour or
exercise. For we can cover the skin with more clothes, when we feel
ourselves cold; but the lungs not having the perception of cold, we do not
think of covering them, nor have the power to cover them, if we desired it;
and the torpor, thus produced is greater, or of longer duration, in
proportion to the previous expenditure of sensorial power by heat or
exercise.
This torpor of the lungs affects the skin with shuddering, and the stomach
is also secondarily affected; next follows the violent action of the lungs
from the accumulation of the power of irritation, and an inflammation of
them follows this violent action. While the stomach recovers its activity
by the increase of the excitement of the sensorial power of association,
and along with it the heart and arteries, and the whole moving system.
Hence this inflammation occurs during the hot fit of fever, and no cold fit
succeeds, because the excess of the sensorial power of sensation prevents a
succeeding torpor.
These new motions of certain parts of the system produce increased
secretions of nutritious or organic mucus, which forms new vessels; these
new vessels by their unusual motions produce new kinds of fluids; which are
termed contagious, because they have the power, when introduced into a
healthy body, of producing similar actions and effects, with or without
fever, as in the small-pox and measles, or in the itch and venereal
disease.
If any of these contagious matters affect the stomach with torpor either by
their stimulus immediately applied, or by its sympathy with the parts first
diseased, a fever is produced with sickness and want of appetite; as in
small-pox, and scarlatina. If the stomach is not affected by contagious
matter, no fever succeeds, as in itch, tinea, syphilis.
All these contagious matters are conceived to be harmless, till they have
been exposed to the air, either openly or through a moist membrane; from
which they are believed to acquire oxygene, and thence to become some kinds
of animal acids. As the preparations of mercury cure venereal ulcers; as a
quarter of a grain of sublimate dissolved in wine, and given thrice a day;
this effect, seems to be produced either by its stimulating the absorbents
in the ulcer to absorb the venereal matter before it has acquired oxygene;
or by afterwards uniting with it chemically, and again depriving it of its
acquired acidity. On either supposition it might probably be given with
advantage in small-pox, and in all infectious diseases, both previous to
their commencement, and during their whole progress.
8. The cold fits of intermittent fevers are caused by the torpor of some
part owing to deficient irritation, and of the other parts of the system
from deficient association. The hot fits are owing first to the
accumulation of irritation in the part primarily affected, if it recovers
its action, which does not always happen; and secondly to the accumulation
of association in the other parts of the system, which during health are
subject to perpetual action; and lastly also to the greater excitement of
the power of association, when the part primarily affected recovers its
irritability, and acts with greater energy than natural.
The deficient secretions in the cold fit depend on the torpor of the
glandular system; and the increased secretions in the hot fit on their more
energetic action. The thirst in the cold fit is owing to the deficient
absorption from the skin, cellular membrane, and bladder; the thirst in the
hot fit is owing to the too great dissipation of the aqueous part of the
blood. The urine is pale and in small quantity in the cold fit from
deficient secretion of it, and from deficient absorption of its aqueous
parts; it is high coloured, and sometimes deposits a sediment, in the hot
fit from the greater secretion of it in the kidneys, and the greater
absorption of its aqueous and saline part in the bladder. The dryness and
scurf on the tongue and nostrils is owing to the increased heat of the air
expired from the lungs, and consequent greater evaporation of the aqueous
part of the mucus. The sweats appear in consequence of the declension of
the hot fit, owing to the absorbent vessels of the skin losing their
increased action sooner than the secerning ones; and to the evaporation
lessening as the skin becomes cooler. The returns of the paroxysms are
principally owing to the torpor of some less essential part of the system
remaining after the termination of the last fit; and are also dependent on
solar or lunar diurnal periods.
The torpor of the part, which induces the cold paroxysm, is owing to
deficient irritation occasioned either by the subduction of the natural
stimuli of food, or water, or pure air, or by deficiency of external
influences, as of heat, or of solar or lunar gravitation. Or secondly, in
consequence of the exhaustion of sensorial power by great previous
exertions of some parts of the system, as of the limbs by great labour or
exercise, or of the stomach by great stimulus, as by contagious matter
swallowed with the saliva, or by much wine or opium previously taken into
it. Or lastly a torpor of a part may be occasioned by some mechanic injury,
as by a compression of the nerves of the part, or of their origin in the
brain; as the sitting long with one leg crossed over the other occasions
numbness, and as a torpor of the stomach, with vomiting frequently precedes
paralytic strokes of the limbs.
As sleep is produced, either by defect of stimulus, or by previous
exhaustion of sensorial power; so the accumulation of the sensorial power
of volition in those muscles and organs of sense, which are generally
obedient to it, awakens the sleeping person; when it has increased the
quantity of voluntarity so much as to overbalance the defect of stimulus in
one case, and the exhaustion of sensorial power in the other; which latter
requires a much longer time of sleep than the former. So the cold paroxysm
of fever is produced either by defect of stimulus, or by previous
exhaustion of the sensorial power of some part of the system; and the
accumulation of the sensorial power of irritation in that part renews the
action of it, when it has increased its irritability so much as to
overbalance the defect of stimulus in one case and the exhaustion of
sensorial power in the other; which latter requires a much longer torpor or
cold fit than the former.
But in the cold paroxysm of fever besides the torpor of one part of the
system from defect of irritation, the remainder of it becomes torpid owing
to defect of excitement of the sensorial power of association by the
lessened action of the part first affected. This torpor of the general
system remains, till the accumulation of the sensorial power of association
has increased the associability so much as to overbalance the defect of the
excitement of association; then the torpor ceases, and if the first
affected part has recovered its activity the other parts are all thrown
into excess of action by their increased associability, and the hot fit of
fever is produced.
9. In the continued fevers with strong pulse the stomach is affected
secondarily, and thus acts feebly from deficient excitement of the power of
association; but the accumulation of the power of association thus produced
in an organ subject to perpetual and energetic action, is so great as to
affect the next link of the associate train, which consists of the heart
and arteries; these therefore are exerted perpetually with increase of
action.
In continued fevers with weak pulse the torpid stomach is affected
primarily by previous exhaustion of its irritability by stimulus, as of
contagious matter swallowed into it. The heart and arteries act feebly from
deficient excitement of the power of association, owing to the torpor of
the stomach, with which they are catenated; but the accumulation of the
power of association, thus produced in organs subject to perpetual and
energetic motion, is so great, as to affect the next link of the associate
train; which consists of the capillaries of the skin or other glands; these
therefore are exerted perpetually with great increase of action.
The continued fevers with strong pulse terminate by the reduction or
exhaustion of the sensorial power by violent action of the whole system;
which is followed either by return of health with the natural quantity of
irritability, and of associability, or by a total destruction of them both,
and consequent death.
In continued fevers with weak pulse the stomach remains torpid during the
whole course of the fever; and at length by the recovery of its
irritability and sensibility effects the cure of it. Which generally
happens about the first, second, or third quarter of the lunar period,
counted from the commencement of the disease, or continues a whole
lunation, and sometimes more; which gave rise to what are termed critical
days. See Sect. XXXVI. 4. on this subject. If the stomach does not recover
from its torpor, the patient becomes emaciated, and dies exhausted by the
continuance of the increased action of the capillaries and absorbents, and
the want of nourishment.
The cure of continued fever with weak pulse consists first in weakening the
undue action of the capillaries of the skin by ablution with cold water
from 32 to 80 degrees of heat; or by exposing them to cool air. Secondly by
invigorating the actions of the stomach, by decreasing them for a time, and
thence accumulating the power of irritation, as by an emetic, or by iced
water, or iced wine. Or by increase of stimulus, as by bark, wine, opium,
and food, in small quantities frequently repeated. Or by renewing the
action of the stomach by slight electric shocks. Or by fomenting it
frequently with water heated to 96 or 100 degrees. Or lastly by exciting
its power of association with other parts of the system, as by a blister;
which succeeds best when the extremities are cool; or by swinging, as in
vertigo rotatoria.
If by the stimulus of the Peruvian bark on the fibres of the stomach, they
regain their due action, the heart and arteries also regain their due
action; as their sensorial power of association is now excited, and
expended as usual. And as there is then no accumulation of sensorial power
in the heart and arteries, the capillaries cease to act with too great
energy, and the fever is cured.
Thirdly. If the heart and arteries could be themselves stimulated into
greater action, although the stomach remained torpid, they might probably
by expending a greater quantity of the sensorial power of irritation,
prevent an accumulation of the sensorial power of association, (for these
may possibly be only different modes of action of the spirit of animation,)
and thus the too great action of the capillaries might be prevented and the
fever cease. This new mode of cure might possibly be accomplished, if the
patient was to breathe a gallon or two of pure or diluted oxygene gas
frequently in a day; which by passing through the moist membranes of the
lungs and uniting with the blood might render it more stimulant, and thus
excite the heart and arteries into greater action.
Fourthly. Greater energy might probably be given to the whole system, and
particularly to those parts which act too feebly in fevers, as the stomach
and the heart and arteries, if the action of the secerning vessels of the
brain could be increased in energy; this is probably one effect of all
those drugs, which when given in large quantity induce intoxication, as
wine and opium. And when given with great caution in small quantities
uniformly repeated, as from three drops to five of the tincture of opium,
but not more, every six hours, I believe they supply an efficacious
medicine in fevers with great arterial debility; and the more so, if the
Peruvian bark be exhibited alternately every six hours along with them.
There are other means of exciting the vessels of the brain into action; as
first by decreasing the stimulus of heat by temporary cold fomentation;
secondly, increasing the stimulus of heat by long continued warm
fomentation; thirdly, by electricity, as very small shocks passed through
it in all directions; and lastly by blisters on the head. All those require
to be used with great caution, and especially where there exists an evident
stupor, as the removing of that is I believe frequently injurious. See
stupor, Class I. 2. 5. 10.
The cure of fever with strong pulse consists in the repeated use of
venesection, gentle cathartics, diluents; medicines producing sickness, as
antimonials, digitalis; or the respiration of carbonated hydrogen; or by
respiration of atmospheric air lowered by a mixture of hydrogen, azote, or
carbonic acid gas, or by compressing the brain by whirling in a decumbent
posture, as if lying across an horizontal mill-stone. See the former parts
of this supplement for the methods of cure both of fevers with strong and
weak pulse.
10. When any difficulty occurs in determining the weak pulse from the
strong one, it may generally be assisted by counting its frequency. For
when an adult patient lies horizontally in a cool room, and is not hurried
or alarmed by the approach of his physician, nor stimulated by wine or
opium, the strong pulse seldom exceeds 118 or 120 in a minute; and the weak
pulse is generally not much below 130, and often much above that number.
Secondly in sitting up in bed, or changing the horizontal to a
perpendicular posture, the quickness of the weak pulse is liable
immediately to increase 10 or 20 pulsations in a minute, which does not I
believe occur in the strong pulse, when the patient has rested himself
after the exertion of rising.
XVII. _Conclusion._
Thus have I given an outline of what may be termed the sympathetic theory
of fevers, to distinguish it from the mechanic theory of Boerhaave, the
spasmodic theory of Hoffman and of Cullen, and the putrid theory of
Pringle. What I have thus delivered, I beg to be considered rather as
observations and conjectures, than as things explained and demonstrated; to
be considered as a foundation and a scaffolding, which may enable future
industry to erect a solid and a beautiful edifice, eminent both for its
simplicity and utility, as well as for the permanency of its
materials,--which may not moulder, like the structures already erected,
into the sand of which they were composed; but which may stand unimpaired,
like the Newtonian philosophy, a rock amid the waste of ages!

ADDITIONS.

ADDITION I.
At the end of the article Canities, in Class I. 2. 2. 11. please to add
the following:
As mechanical injury from a percussion, or a wound, or a caustic, is liable
to occasion the hair of the part to become grey; so I suspect the
compression of parts against each other of some animals in the womb is
liable to render the hair of those parts of a lighter colour; as seems
often to occur in black cats and dogs. A small terrier bitch now stands by
me, which is black on all those parts, which were external, when she was
wrapped up in the uterus, teres atque rotunda; and those parts white, which
were most constantly pressed together; and those parts tawny, which were
generally but less constantly pressed together. Thus the hair of the back
from the forehead to the end of the tail is black, as well as that of the
sides, and external parts of the legs, both before and behind.
As in the uterus the chin of the whelp is bent down, and lies in contact
with the fore part of the neck and breast; the tail is applied close
against the division of the thighs behind; the inside of the hinder thighs
are pressed close to the sides of the belly, all these parts have white
hairs.
The fore-legs in the uterus lie on each side of the face; so that the feet
cover part of the temples, and compress the prominent part of the upper
eye-brows, but are so placed as to defend the eye-balls from pressure; it
is curious to observe, that the hair of the sides of the face, and of the
prominent upper eye-brows, are tawny, and of the inside of the feet and
legs, which covered them; for as this posture admitted of more change in
the latter weeks of gestation, the colour of these parts is not so far
removed from black, as of those parts, where the contact or compression was
more uniform.
Where this uterine compression of parts has not been so great as to render
the hair white in other animals, it frequently happens, that the
extremities of the body are white, as the feet, and noses, and tips of the
ears of dogs and cats and horses, where the circulation is naturally
weaker; whence it would seem, that the capillary glands, which form the
hair, are impeded in the first instance by compression, and in the last by
the debility of the circulation in them. See Class I. 1. 2. 15.
This day, August 8th, 1794, I have seen a negro, who was born (as he
reports) of black parents, both father and mother, at Kingston in Jamaica,
who has many large white blotches on the skin of his limbs and body; which
I thought felt not so soft to the finger, as the black parts. He has a
white divergent blaze from the summit of his nose to the vertex of his
head; the upper part of which, where it extends on the hairy scalp, has
thick curled hair, like the other part of his head, but quite white. By
these marks I supposed him to be the same black, who is described, when
only two years old, in the Transactions of the American Philosophical
Society, Vol. II. page 292, where a female one is likewise described with
nearly similar marks.
The joining of the frontal bones, and the bregma, having been later than
that of the other sutures of the cranium, probably gave cause to the
whiteness of the hair on these parts by delaying or impeding its growth.
ADDITION II.
The following extract from a letter of Dr. Beddoes on hydrocephalus
internus, I esteem a valuable addition to the article on that subject at
Class I. 2. 3. 12.
"Master L----, aged 9 years, became suddenly ill in the night about a
week before I saw him. On the day before the attack, he had taken
opening medicines, and had bathed afterwards. He had complained of
violently acute pain in his head, shrieked frequently, ground his teeth
hard, could not bear to have his head raised from the pillow, and was
torpid or deaf. His tongue was white, pulse 110 in the evening and
full. As yet the pupil of the eye was irritable, and he had no
strabismus. He had been bled with leeches about the head, and
blistered. I directed mercurial inunction, and calomel from 3 to 6
grains to be taken at first every six, and afterwards every three
hours. This plan produced no sensible effect, and the patient died on
the 18th day after the seizure. He had convulsion fits two days
preceding his death, and the well-known symptoms of hydrocephalus
internus all made their appearance. From what I had seen and read of
this disease, I believed it to belong to inflammations, and at an
earlier period I should be tempted to bleed as largely as for
pneumonia. The fluid found after death in the ventricules of the brain
I impute to debility of the absorbents induced by inflammation. My
reasons are briefly these; 1. The acuteness of the pain. 2. The state
of the pulse. In the above case for the first 9 or 10 days it did not
exceed 110, and was full and strong.
3. To find out whether any febrile alternations took place, Master L.'s
feet were frequently felt, and they were found at times cold, and at
other times of a dry heat. I have many times seen this disease, but the
patients were too young, or too far advanced, to inform me, whether
they had chillness succeeded by heat at its onset. 4. The disorders to
which the young are more peculiarly liable afford a presumption, that
hydrocephalus internus is an inflammatory disease; and this is
confirmed by the regularity of the period, within which it finishes its
course. And lastly, does it not happen more frequently than is
suspected from external injury?
I have just now been well informed, that Dr. Rush has lately cured five
out of six patients by copious bleedings. I relate here the reasons for
an opinion without pretending to a discovery. Something like this
doctrine may be found in certain modern publications, but it is
delivered in that vague and diffuse style, which I trust your example
will banish from medical literature."
Clifton, near Bristol,
_July 28, 1795_.
To this idea of Dr. Beddoes may be added, that the hydrocele generally
succeeds an injury, and consequent inflammation of the bag, which contains
it. And that other dropsies, which principally attend inebriates, are
consequent to too great action of the mucous membranes by the stimulus of
beer, wine, and spirits. And lastly, that as these cases of hydrocephalus
end so fatally, a new mode of treating them is much to be desired, and
deserves to be seriously attended to.
ADDITION III. ON VERTIGO.
_To be placed after the additional Note at the end of Vol. I. on this
Subject._
Having reperused the ingenious Essay of Dr. Wells on Single Vision, and his
additional observations in the Gentleman's Magazine on the apparent
retrogression of objects in vertigo, I am induced to believe, that this
apparent retrogression of objects is not always owing to the same cause.
When a person revolves with his eyes closed, till he becomes vertiginous,
and then stands still without opening them, he seems for a while to go
forward in the same direction. This hallucination of his ideas cannot be
owing to ocular spectra, because, as Dr. Wells observes, no such can have
been formed; but it must arise from a similar continuance or repetition of
ideas belonging to the sense of touch, instead of to the sense of vision;
and should therefore be called a tangible, not a visual, vertigo. In common
language this belief of continuing to revolve for some time, after he
stands still, when a person has turned round for a minute in the dark,
would be called a deception of imagination.
Now at this time if he opens his eyes upon a gilt book, placed with other
books on a shelf about the height of his eye, the gilt book seems to recede
in the contrary direction; though his eyes are at this time kept quite
still, as well as the gilt book. For if his eyes were not kept still, other
books would fall on them in succession; which, when I repeatedly made the
experiment, did not occur; and which thus evinces, that no motion of the
eyes is the cause of the apparent retrocession of the gilt book. Why then
does it happen?--Certainly from an hallucination of ideas, or in common
language the deception of imagination.
The vertiginous person still imagines, that he continues to revolve
forwards, after he has opened his eyes; and in consequence that the
objects, which his eyes happen to fall upon, are revolving backward; as
they would appear to do, if he was actually turning round with his eyes
open. For he has been accustomed to observe the motions of bodies, whether
apparent or real, so much more frequently by the eye than by the touch;
that the present belief of his gyration, occasioned by the hallucinations
of the sense of touch, is attended with ideas of such imagined motions of
visible objects, as have always accompanied his former gyrations, and have
thus been associated with the muscular actions and perceptions of touch,
which occurred at the same time.
When the remains of colours are seen in the eye, they are termed ocular
spectra; when remaining sounds are heard in the ear, they may be called
auricular murmurs; but when the remaining motions, or ideas, of the sense
of touch continue, as in this vertigo of a blindfolded person, they have
acquired no name, but may be termed evanescent titillations, or tangible
hallucinations.
Whence I conclude, that vertigo may have for its cause either the ocular
spectra of the sense of vision, when a person revolves with his eyes open;
or the auricular murmurs of the sense of hearing, if he is revolved near a
cascade; or the evanescent titillations of the sense of touch, if he
revolves blindfold. All these I should wish to call vanishing ideas, or
sensual motions, of those organs of sense; which, ideas, or sensual
motions, have lately been associated in a circle, and therefore for a time
continue to be excited. And what are the ideas of colours, when they are
excited by imagination or memory, but the repetition of finer ocular
spectra? What the idea of sounds, but the repetition of finer auricular
murmurs? And what the ideas of tangible objects, but the repetition of
finer evanescent titillations?
The tangible, and the auricular, and the visual vertigo, are all perceived
by many people for a day or two after long travelling in a boat or coach;
the motions of the vessel, or vehicle, or of the surrounding objects, and
the noise of the wheels and oars, occur at intervals of reverie, or at the
commencement of sleep. See Sect. XX. 5. These ideas, or sensual motions, of
sight, of hearing, and of touch, are succeeded by the same effects as the
ocular spectra, the auricular murmurs, and the evanescent titillations
above mentioned; that is, by a kind of vertigo, and cannot in that respect
be distinguished from them. Which is a further confirmation of the truth of
the doctrine delivered in Sect. III. of this work, that the colours
remaining in the eyes, which are termed ocular spectra, are ideas, or
sensual motions, belonging to the sense of vision, which for too long a
time continue their activity.
ADDITION IV. OF VOLUNTARY MOTIONS.
A correspondent acquaints me, that he finds difficulty in understanding how
the convulsions of the limbs in epilepsy can be induced by voluntary
exertions. This I suspect first to have arisen from the double meaning of
the words "involuntary motions;" which are sometimes used for those
motions, which are performed without the interference of volition, as the
pulsations of the heart and arteries; and at other times for those actions,
which occur, where two counter volitions oppose each other, and the
stronger prevails; as in endeavouring to suppress laughter, and to stop the
shudderings, when exposed to cold. Thus when the poet writes,
------video meliora, proboque,
Deteriora sequor.----
The stronger volition actuates the system, but not without the
counteraction of unavailing smaller ones; which constitute deliberation.
A second difficulty may have arisen from the confined use of the words "to
will," which in common discourse generally mean to choose after
deliberation; and hence our will or volition is supposed to be always in
our own power. But the will or voluntary power, acts always from motive, as
explained in Sect. XXXIV. 1. and in Class IV. 1. 3. 2. and III. 2. 1. 12.
which motive can frequently be examined previous to action, and balanced
against opposite motives, which is called deliberation; at other times the
motive is so powerful as immediately to excite the sensorial power of
volition into action, without a previous balancing of opposite motives, or
counter volitions. The former of these volitions is exercised in the common
purposes of life, and the latter in the exertions of epilepsy and insanity.
It is difficult _to think without words_, which however all those must do,
who discover new truths by reasoning; and still more difficult, when the
words in common use deceive us by their twofold meanings, or by the
inaccuracy of the ideas, which they suggest.
ADDITION V. OF FIGURE.
I feel myself much obliged by the accurate attention given to the first
volume of Zoonomia, and by the ingenious criticisms bestowed on it, by the
learned writers of that article both in the Analytical and English Reviews.
Some circumstances, in which their sentiments do not accord with those
expressed in the work, I intend to reconsider, and to explain further at
some future time. One thing, in which both these gentlemen seem to dissent
from me, I shall now mention, it is concerning the manner, in which we
acquire the idea of figure; a circumstance of great importance in the
knowledge of our intellect, as it shews the cause of the accuracy of our
ideas of motion, time, space, number, and of the mathematical sciences,
which are concerned in the mensurations or proportions of figure.
This I imagine may have in part arisen from the prepossession, which has
almost universally prevailed, that ideas are immaterial beings, and
therefore possess no properties in common with solid matter. Which I
suppose to be a fanciful hypothesis, like the stories of ghosts and
apparitions, which have so long amused, and still amuse, the credulous
without any foundation in nature.
The existence of our own bodies, and of their solidity, and of their
figure, and of their motions, is taken for granted in my account of ideas;
because the ideas themselves are believed to consist of motions or
configurations of solid fibres; and the question now proposed is, how we
become acquainted with the figures of bodies external to our organs of
sense? Which I can only repeat from what is mentioned in Sect. XIV. 2. 2.
that if part of an organ of sense be stimulated into action, as of the
sense of touch, that part so stimulated into action must possess figure,
which must be similar to the figure of the body, which stimulates it.
Another previous prepossession of the mind, which may have rendered the
manner of our acquiring the knowledge of figure less intelligible, may have
arisen from the common opinion of the perceiving faculty residing in the
head; whereas our daily experience shews, that our perception (which
consists of an idea, and of the pleasure or pain it occasions) exists
principally in the organ of sense, which is stimulated into action; as
every one, who burns his finger in the candle, must be bold to deny.
When an ivory triangle is pressed on the palm of the hand, the figure of
the surface of the part of the organ of touch thus compressed is a
triangle, resembling in figure the figure of the external body, which
compresses it. The action of the stimulated fibres, which constitute the
idea of hardness and of figure, remains in this part of the sensorium,
which forms the sense of touch; but the sensorial motion, which constitutes
pleasure or pain, and which is excited in consequence of these fibrous
motions of the organ of sense, is propagated to the central parts of the
sensorium, or to the whole of it; though this generally occurs in less
degree of energy, than it exists in the stimulated organ of sense; as in
the instance above mentioned of burning a finger in the candle.
Some, who have espoused the doctrine of the immateriality of ideas, have
seriously doubted the existence of a material world, with which only our
senses acquaint us; and yet have assented to the existence of spirit, with
which our senses cannot acquaint us; and have finally allowed, that all our
knowledge is derived through the medium of our senses! They forget, that if
the spirit of animation had no properties in common with matter, it could
neither affect nor be affected by the material body. But the knowledge of
our own material existence being granted, which I suspect few rational
persons will seriously deny, the existence of a material external world
follows in course; as our perceptions, when we are awake and not insane,
are distinguished from those excited by sensation, as in our dreams, and
from those excited by volition or by association as in insanity and
reverie, by the power we have of comparing the present perceptions of one
sense with those of another, as explained in Sect. XIV. 2. 5. And also by
comparing the tribes of ideas, which the symbols of pictures, or of
languages, suggest to us, by intuitive analogy with our previous
experience, that is, with the common course of nature. See Class III. 2. 2.

ADDITION VI.
_Please to add the following in page 14, after line 20._
_Cold and hot Fit._
As the torpor, with which a fit of fever commences, is sometimes owing to
defect of stimulus, as in going into the cold-bath; and sometimes to a
previous exhaustion of the sensorial power by the action of some violent
stimulus, as after coming out of a hot room into cold air; a longer time
must elapse, before there can be a sufficient accumulation of sensorial
power to produce a hot fit in one case than in the other. Because in the
latter case the quantity of sensorial power previously expended must be
supplied, before an accumulation can begin.
The cold paroxysm commences, when the torpor of a part becomes so great,
and its motions in consequence so slow or feeble, as not to excite the
sensorial power of association; which in health contributes to move the
rest of the system, which is catenated with it. And the hot fit commences
by the accumulation of the sensorial power of irritation of the part first
affected, either so as to counteract its deficient stimulus, or its
previous waste of sensorial power; and it becomes general by the
accumulation of the sensorial power of association; which is excited by the
renovated actions of the part first affected; or becomes so great as to
overbalance the deficient excitement of it. On all these accounts the hot
fit cannot be supposed to bear any proportion to the cold one in length of
time, though the latter may be the consequence of the former. See Suppl. I.
16. 8.
ADDITION VII. ON WARMTH.
_To be added at the end of the Species Sudor Calidus, in Class I. 1. 2. 3._
When the heat of the body in weak patients in fevers is increased by the
stimulus of the points of flannel, a greater consequent debility succeeds,
than when it is produced by the warmth of fire; as in the former the heat
is in part owing to the increased activity of the skin, and consequent
expenditure of sensorial power; whereas in the latter case it is in part
owing to the influx of the fluid matter of heat.
So the warmth produced by equitation, or by rubbing the body and limbs with
a smooth brush or hand, as is done after bathing in some parts of the East,
does not expend nearly so much sensorial power, as when the warmth is
produced by the locomotion of the whole weight of the body by muscular
action, as in walking, or running, or swimming. Whence the warmth of a fire
is to be preferred to flannel shirts for weak people, and the agitation of
a horse to exercise on foot. And I suppose those, who are unfortunately
lost in snow, who are on foot, are liable to perish sooner by being
exhausted by their muscular exertions; and might frequently preserve
themselves by lying on the ground, and covering themselves with snow,
before they were too much exhausted by fatigue. See Botan. Garden, Vol. II.
the note on Barometz.
ADDITION VIII. PUERPERAL FEVER.
_To be added to Class II. 1. 6. 16._
A very interesting account of the puerperal fever, which was epidemic at
Aberdeen, has been lately published by Dr. Alexander Gordon. (Robinson,
London.) In several dissections of those, who died of this disease,
purulent matter was found in the cavity of the abdomen; which he ascribes
to an erysipelatous inflammation of the peritonaeum, as its principal seat,
and of its productions, as the omentum, mesentery, and peritonaeal coat of
the intestines.
He believes, that it was infectious, and that the contagion was always
carried by the accoucheur or the nurse from one lying-in woman to another.
The disease began with violent unremitting pain of the abdomen on the day
of delivery, or the next day, with shuddering, and very quick pulse, often
140 in a minute. In this situation, if he saw the patient within 12 or 24
hours of her seizure, he took away from 16 to 24 ounces of blood, which was
always sizy. He then immediately gave a cathartic consisting of three
grains of calomel, and 40 grains of powder of jalap. After this had
operated, he gave an opiate at night; and continued the purging and the
opiate for several days.
He asserts, that almost all those, whom he was permitted to treat in this
manner early in the disease, recovered to the number of 50; and that almost
all the rest died. But that when two or three days were elapsed, the
patient became too weak for this method; and the matter was already formed,
which destroyed them. Except that he saw two patients, who recovered after
discharging a large quantity of matter at the navel. And a few, who were
relieved by the appearance of external erysipelas on the extremities.
This disease, consisting of an erysipelatous inflammation, may occasion the
great debility sooner to occur than in inflammation of the uterus; which
latter is neither erysipelatous, I suppose, nor contagious. And the success
of Dr. Gordon's practice seems to correspond with that of Dr. Rush in the
contagious fever or plague at Philadelphia; which appeared to be much
assisted by early evacuations. One case I saw some time ago, where violent
unceasing pain of the whole abdomen occurred a few hours after delivery,
with quick pulse; which ceased after the patient had twice lost about eight
ounces of blood, and had taken a moderate cathartic with calomel.
This case induces me to think, that it might be safer and equally
efficacious, to take less blood at first, than Dr. Gordon mentions, and to
repeat the operation in a few hours, if the continuance of the symptoms
should require it. And the same in respect to the cathartic, which might
perhaps be given in less quantity, and repeated every two or three hours.
Nor should I wish to give an opiate after the first venesection and
cathartic; as I suspect that this might be injurious, except those
evacuations had emptied the vessels so much, that the stimulus of the
opiate should act only by increasing the absorption of the new vessels or
fluids produced on the surfaces of the inflamed membranes. In other
inflammations of the bowels, and in acute rheumatism, I have seen the
disease much prolonged, and I believe sometimes rendered fatal, by the too
early administration of opiates, either along with cathartics, or at their
intervals; while a small dose of opium given after sufficient evacuations
produces absorption only by its stimulus, and much contributes to the cure
of the patient. We may have visible testimony of this effect of opium, when
a solution of it is put into an inflamed eye; if it be thus used previous
to sufficient evacuation, it increases the inflammation; if it be used
after sufficient evacuation, it increases absorption only, and clears the
eye in a very small time.
I cannot omit observing, from considering these circumstances, how unwise
is the common practice of giving an opiate to every woman immediately after
her delivery, which must often have been of dangerous consequence.
