Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lectures on Blood-Letting: Delivered at the General Dispensary, Aldersgate Street
But, ifi wished to excite your attention in the strongest manner to this subject, namely, the necessity of a prompt and vigorous ap plication of the remedy in question, I would mention those in?am matory a?'ections of the brain that are so common in early life; in boys and girls, for instance, between the ages of six and twelve more especially, though such affections are not confined exclusively to any ago. From violent exertions in play, or other causes of ex citement, and bcrhaps exposure to the mitl-(lay sun, the patient is first found complaining of slight headache. Iie loses his appetite, complains of thirst, is languid and spiritless his sleep is scanty and disturbed, and all application to his usual studies becomes irksome to him. Such cases are of frequent occurrence in seminaries for education. And attract, for a time, but little notice. If sickness and vomiting occur, as is often the ease, the patient is said to be bilious.
