1898 edition. Excerpt: ... recovery from the disease. In this case, at least in some of the fevered
conditions, the increase of temperature represents a physiological not a pathological condition, in
other words it represents the attempt of nature to restore the normal and establishes the principle that
nature has always a tendency to return to the normal. While fever represents a disorder of the heat
regulation it marks rather a symptom of the disordered condition in the increased metabolism, the
heat condition representing a disturbance of the regulative heat mechanism. The incapacity of the
body during fever for mechanical work indicates that all the energy or most of it passes into the heat
form, represented by the lethargic condition of the body. This represents the lack of transformation
from energy to mechanical activity. The fever symptoms are, (a) an increase in body temperature.
This is not only true when the skin is flushed but also when the body is chilled as manifested in
tremors. The flushed skin is a good heat conductor while the skin when pallid is a bad heat
conductor. According to Finlayson the sub-febrile condition varies from 37.5 to 38.5 degrees, the
moderate febrile condition from 39 to 39.5 the high febrile condition from 40 to 40.5 and the
hyperpyretic condition 41 and over. (b) The increased production of heat is another element in the
fever. This is partly due to the increase in the circulation which passes into the heat and to the
increased metabolism resulting in oxidation. (c) This increased heat production, especially the
metabolism, results in the languishing effect on the body and represents the wasting of energetic
activity. So much is this regarded as the great element of fever that some physiologists ascribe the
fever entirely to...
