Excerpt from The British Journal of Homeopathy, 1854, Vol. 12

Among the diseases of most frequent occurrence may be arranged those forms which have hitherto been entitled febris gastrica, biliosa, pituitosa, mucosa, subnervosa, nervosa, putrida, &c. The older physicians maintained that each of the above men tioned forms of disease was essentially difi'erent from the other, and assigned to each one its particular place in their nosological systems. Modern researches have demonstrated the error of their views, and have shown that the causes of these diseases lie either simply in an irritable state of the intestinal mucous mem brane, or in a typhous crasis: hence they may be arranged in two groups, respectively designated by the terms. Intestinal catarrh and typhus.
