Excerpt from Address in Medicine, on Some of the Relations of Catarrhal Affections So fully am I impressed with the important part played by the gastro-intestinal mucous membrane in causing or aggravating the febrile symptoms of typhoid fever and other diseases, that I am convinced actual harm is often done by the use of remedies, calculated to reduce temperature when due solely to the blood poisoning, but which are too irritating to be tolerated by a mor bidly sensitive mucous surface. Undoubtedly the more general introduction of the external application of water as a means of reducing excessive pyrexia has done much good, both directly and indirectly, by checking the use of less efficient and more dangerous antipyretics. But I am satisfied that if the diet and treatment in the early stage of typhoid fever are carefully adapted to the degree of gastro-intestinal catarrh present, the need of cool baths or other extreme means of relieving hyper pyrexia will be comparatively infrequent.
