    Fever, may not fail to attract that attentive con- sideration their enlightened and experienced founder, M. Broussais, has, to my mind at least, established as their right. The bounds of an Essay of this nature prohibits me from entering more fully into many points connected with the physio- logy and pathology of the alimentary mucous tex- ture, such as the appearances characteristic of its various states of health and disease,—a consideration of its influences on the other textures of the body, —its numerous sympathies and extensive reciprocal relations with other organs; but this I delay till I shall have more maturely weighed the observations I have already made, and added to my knowledge of the subject, by future opportunity.
