Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Inaugural Essay, on the Inflammatory Bilious Fever, as It Appeared in the Vicinity of Lancaster, in the Summer and Autumn of 1804
Moisture promotes, but ?uidity s putrefac tion. Large quantities of rain dilute that water which is stagnant, and prevent the process of putrid fermenta tion, by which miasmata are generated; hence it is that low countries are unusually healthy in Wet seasons, whereas the same seasons deposit such abundance of water on high lands that the fermentative process of putrefaction takes place, from whence arise the mias mata which are the remote cause of bilious fever.
