Remarks —In preparing "Symptoms" I have carefully giveu all diseases
that any person is liable not to be familiar with. There are some few common
compliiints, that " tackle " us without giving symptoms or warning, that I have
omitted A man would not need to be told that be had the tootkacTie or earaJie,
or what the symptoms are. He would be liable to find it out very suddenly
without consulting any book or doctor. Some such simple diseases I have
omitted in "Symptomi."
ABORTION OB MISCARRIAGE.—When a woman in the family
way throws off the contents of her womb, or loses her child, during the first
six raontlis, the accident is a miscarriage, or abortion; when the sagie thing
happens during the last three mouths of her term, it is a premature labor.
Symptoms.—If abortion recur during the first month after conception, the
symptoms may not attract much attention, or may be regarded only as an
Irregularity of menstruation. Occur 'ing at later periods, it is frequently indicati'd
by some feverishness, coldness of the feet and legs, a ptiflfed-up condition
of the eye-lids with purplish discolorations, shooting puins in the breasts,
wliich become soft, pains in the back, bearing-down pains in the lower part of
the bowels,, which come and go, and at length take the character of real labor
pains. As these pains increase, blood begins to appear, and, sooner or later,
the bag of water breaks, and the fetus is thrown off.
Causes.—These are very numerous. Some of the principal are, displacement
of the womb; ulceration of its neck; syphilitic disease of the fetus
received from the parent; too much exercise; heavy lifting; falls, particularly
when the woman comes down upon the feet, and is heavily jarred; emetics;
powerful purges; and too much nuptial indulgence. Remedy, pages
258, 259, 260, 261.
AGUE. —The popular English name for Intermittent Fever. Ague is
principally applied to the cold stage. The whole disease Is commonly called
'Soever and Agtie.
Symptoms.—This fever consists of various fits or paroxysms, each of which
is made up of three stages or success..ms or^inptoms. These stages are the
cold, the hot, and the sweating stages. Wljgji the sweating stage is finished,
the patient is free of complaint, or the dise ..^ intermits till a future riod,
when the same stages as before succeed each olher. The time during which
the patient is free of the disease varies in different kinds of intermittent fever,
and gives its name and character to the disease. If the stages run through
their coui*se every day. it is called a quotidian ague; if they begin again every
