Excerpt from On the Wasting Diseases of Infants and Children In every acute disease there are, therefore, two dangers; the immediate danger and the remote danger. The first presses itself upon our notice, and cannot be overlooked; the second, obscured by distance, is apt to be disregarded. Acute disease always excites attention and receives imme diate treatment, but it is not enough to rest satisfied with the cessation of pressing symptoms. There is always the danger that the defective nutrition, at first merely tempoo rary, may become confirmed; in other words, that chronic disease may be established.
