Excerpt from The Dublin Journal of Medical Science, Vol. 115: January to June, 1903Cases of long-continued pyrexia, not due to any of the ordinary causes - tuberculosis, typhoid, or septicaemia in its usual sense - occasionally occur, and, from their obscurity as well as rarity, deserve some consideration. The case we are about to bring before the Academy presents many features of interest.Case - Mr. H. Was born in 1865. His mother died of phthisis. He was a man, strongly built, and about 5 ft. 8 in. In height. He went to sea as an engineer on various cargo-steamers, and was in many places where malaria exists, but never had an attack of this disease. He contracted syphilis 6 or 8 years ago, and was treated with mercury, it was a mild attack, and he never had any recur rence of its symptoms. He remained at his work as an engineer till 1898, when he was employed on a. Grain-steamer. Here he was greatly exposed to the dust of the grain while the boat was being loaded and unloaded, and he seems to have suffered in some way from its effects. At any rate some of his friends thought he never seemed quite the same man afterwards.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
