Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Pathological and Surgical Observations on the Diseases of the Joints
The joints, like the other animal organs, are not of a simple and uniform, but Of a various and complicated structure. Although, in the advanced stages, the diseases, to which they are liable, extend to all the dissimilar parts of which they are composed, it is to be presumed that such is not the case in the beginning. We cannot doubt that here, as elsewhere, the morbid actions commence sometimes in one and sometimes in another texture; and that they differ in their nature, and are variously modified, and, of course, require to be differently treated, according to the mechanical organization, and the vital properties of the part, in which they originate.
