Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Irvine's Treatise on the Yellow Fever
Of the various opinions and theories which have at different times been offered to the public, on the subject of Yellow Fever, there are none, it is gene. Rally admitted, which are at all satisfactory either as to the nature or origin of the disease, or the pro. Per mode of treating it Its late ravages in most of our principal Cities, and the probability of its fre quent and even spet'dy recurrence among us, are considerations, which render it the incumbent duty of the Practitioners of this Country to use their most earnest efforts in the investigation of its true charac. Ter, and the causes of its production, and to contri bute to the common stock of information, any sueh results of their experience, as are at all calculated to throw the least light on these important points. Actuated by this sentiment, the author of the fol lowing observations comes before the public with no object but that of serving it, and with no other 'pre tentions, than those grounded upon experience.
