Excerpt from A Dissertation on the Influence of Heat and Humidity: With Practical Observations on the Inhalation of Iodine, and Various Vapours, in Consumption, Catarrh, Croup, Asthma, and Other Diseases
The dissertation, of which this is a translation, was presented, last year to Dr. Alison, (Dean of the Edinburgh College,) for a medical degree. Owing to his lamented illness, a small part only was presented to the University, the remainder being deposited, in Latin, with Dr. Hope. The imperfections, therefore, of this essay, are chargeable to the author's account alone.
The following pages embrace a great number of topics, because the influence of heat and fluidity extends to many objects. The author is totally unconnected with any bathing or other establishment. The censorious may therefore asperse, but they can point out no object for this production, except to aid the inquiries of the young medical aspirant, and to benefit our suffering fellow-creatures.
With regard to the matter of the book, it first glances at the influence of Heat and Dilution, on Medicine, next on Diet, and lastly, on the Living Body itself.
Whether the people of the County of Antrim incline to turn their attention to Animal Heat, from the warmness of their hearts, or the coldness of their climate, let theorists divine. Humbly following far behind the admirable Black, descended from this place, and the most ingenious Crawford, a native of the neighbourhood, I offer, with great diffidence, a theory of the principal sources of Animal Temperature, calculated rather to elicit information, than to elucidate a subject so imperfectly understood. I am aware how far such hypotheses are beyond the reach of proof, - how much they are controverted by the peculiarities of cold blooded classes of animals, - and how anxiously they will be misrepresented by the colder blooded creatures around us.
