Note 1 — PART FIRST. OF INFLAMMATION.

[In the cellular tissue the pain is acute and throbbing; in the pleura, sharp and lancinating; in the lungs and glandular organs, obtuse and heavy; in the skin, prurient and smarting; in the bones, dull and gnawing. Sometimes it is persistent, sometimes intermittent, sometimes periodical; and occasionally, again, it is felt at parts very remote from the one originally and mainly affected. Of the latter variety we have a familiar instance in the hip-joint disease of children, in which the earliest symptom complained of is pain in the corresponding knee. In hepatitis, the right shoulder is often the seat of the suffering; in cystitis, the head of the penis.—ED.]
