This volume delves into the theory of fever, offering an analytical framework for understanding its causes, symptoms, and treatment methods based on empirical observations from the author’s medical practice. The opening of the volume introduces Rush's theoretical foundation for fever, describing how various forms of fevers arise from a general state of debility in the body. He elaborates on the conditions that lead to this debility, detailing natural and unusual stimuli that can precede a fever. Moreover, Rush discusses the interplay between debility, excitability, and stimuli, proposing a unified theory of fever's characteristics and variances. Through an in-depth exploration of how fevers manifest and can be treated, particularly referencing observed cases and historical contexts, he seeks to consolidate his insights into a comprehensive understanding of the subject, setting the stage for the subsequent sections of the text.
