Medical Thermometry, and Human Temperature

viii, 280 pp. 8vo. An abridgment by Edward Seguin of 'On the Temperature in Diseases, of which Fielding H. Garrison said "This classic work on temperature in disease laid the foundation of modern knowledge regarding clinical thermometry. Garrison has said of Wunderlich that he 'found fever a disease and left it a symptom.'" (Garrison-Morton 2677) This edition also includes Seguin's 'Suggestions on Thermometry and Human Temperature'. Seguin published three works on thermometry, this being the first, and also invented a 'physiological thermometer' which indicated health by displaying a reading of zero.
