In the following Lectures, gentlemen, I propose to offer you some remarks on the contagious Typhus, at present, March 1832, epidemic in Glasgow and the vicinity, and of which you have seen so many cases treated in our I nfirmary. To point out, by a laboured enumeration of motives, how much it concerns every student to be well acquainted with this disease, I hold to be superfluous labour. It will be sufficient if I remind you, that there is no malady of more frequent occurrence than fever, and none to which you will be oftener called, in the course of your future practice. Whatever relates to it, therefore, you will readily perceive, well merits your utmost attention. The details of our subject naturally arrange themselves under two heads, or sections. One of these is purely practical, and will contain merely the history, and treatment, of the distemper.
