Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Retrospect of Medicine, Vol. 16: Being a Half-Yearly Journal, Containing a Retrospective View of Every Discovery and Practical Improvement in the Medical Science; July December, 1847 It is of great consequence to be able to diagnose the two forms of fever from each other as soon as the patients are examined. An experienced eye can almost always form a correct opinion: he will recognize in the flushed countenance, strong bounding pulse, and white swollen tongue, the simple continued fever; whilst the de pressed appearances of the patient, the quick small pulse, the tongue nearly clean, slightly covered with a light yellow hue in centre, and the great prostration of strength, are sure indications that the patient is seized with typhus.
