Extract

The object of the present investigation is to throw further light upon the differences between the disturbances in the chemical processes in the body in fever caused, on the one hand, by the mere rise of body temperature, and on the other by the action of the micro-organismal poisons on the tissues of the body.

The influence of such micro-organismal poisons has been already studied by several investigators-among others, by Noël Paton, Dunlop, and Macadam in the case of diphtheria (Journ. of Phys., vol. xxiv. p. 331,1899; see also chapter “Fever and Infection,” by Kraus, Von Noorden's Metabolism and Practical Medicine, vol. ii. p. 90); but so far few detailed studies of the metabolism in high temperature due to non-infectious processes have been recorded.
