Excerpt from A Manual of the Principles of Surgery, Based on Pathology: For Students

Although the inflammatory process and the healing process are distinguished by a separate consideration, I shall endeavor to Show that healthy inflammatory action is a step - a first step - in the process of healing; that, while healing more expeditiously takes place when inflammation is absent, yet, under certain circum stances, the inflammatory process is necessary to prepare the way and supply the means for successful healing. When, however, the inflammatory action is unhealthy, when there is presented some one of the several varieties of inflammation, then there is a de facto disease. The distinction between the two will be found to be the same as that which exists between a healthy ulcer and an unhealthy one when, in the former, healing kindly takes place in accordance with physiological laws, and in the latter it fails to take place.
