Note 35 — Chapter IX
Reading edition
It would be trifling, while treating of so momentous a subject as the proper management of fever, which requires the prompt, vigorous, and yet cautious exhibition of the most powerful remedies, to spend any time in discussing the merits of saline, refrigerant, diaphoretic, antimonial medicines, and the rest of the apparatus, which unfortunately continues to hold the place of direct, honourable, and well-earned (if any thing can be well-earned) remuneration to the practitioner.
