    Chemical Pathology applied to determine how far it is possible, in the present state of knowledge, to more early and exactly detect and discriminate these Blood-diseases, so as to prevent their local manifestations, by Rational Pre- ventive measures, more appropriate and effectualthan those which Experience alone may have suggested. Pathological Anatomy of these local manifestations applied to more early and exactly detect and discriminate the Blood-diseases from which they respect- ively proceed, so as to prevent those of infectious origin being propagated. Preventive Measures. Local may proceed from Constitutional morbid conditions; concluded by Injuries and Diseases of the Central Nervous System, in relation to disorder of the Heart and circulation; the Lungs and respiration; the Chylopoietic viscera and the process of digestion; the Organs of Excretion—kidneys and bladder, skin—and the functions severally of these organs; diseases of Nutrition; organs of Reproduction and their functional derangements. Chapteb, IX. (p. 432-445.) CONSTITUTIONAL MAY PEOCEED FROM LOCAl MORBID CONDITIONS. This general Principle of Etiology, and the Principle of Prevention also, in a measure, illustrated by Injuries of Mechanism, and their constitutional effects —Shock (collapse, prostration). Reaction; Prostration with excitement, and Tetanus; respectively following Wounds, Bui-ns, Practures, and Dislocations. The Pathological Principle which guides the Preventive view of these Constitu- tional Disturbances. This presupposes a sufficiently early and exact detection and discrimination— Diagnosis of Injuries regarded as internal causes in operation. Preventive Measures. Chapter X. (p. 446—658.) THE ETIOLOGICAL PRINCIPLE ADVANCED IN THE PRECEDING CHAPTER FURTHER ILLUSTRATED BY DISEASES OF NUTRITION, THOSE OF OTHER FUNCTIONS, AND . BY CONTAGION; SEVERALLY, IN RELATION TO THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL CON- SEQUENCES. Various (Constitutional) Disturbances of the Blood, Nervous, and Vascular Systems, i.e. Fevers—inflammatory, hectic, and gangrenous typhoid—arise from inflammation, suppuration, and mortification, respectively. Various (Constitutional) Blood-diseases arise from other perversions of Nutrition besides that of inflammation; also from those of the Digestive process, Excretion, aud Respiration, respectively.
