- 1829, A Practical Synopsis of Cutaneous Diseases
- The course of small-pox, whether distinct or confluent, may be divided into five stages, which are known under the names of incubation, invasion, eruption, suppuration, and desiccation. This division, founded on the most prominent symptoms that the disease presents, although it is an arbitrary one, still affords a facility in the study. The period of incubation comprises the interval of time that elapses from the infection to the beginning of the attack; its duration is from six to twenty days. It is not designated by any visible symptom, as the individual apparently continues in good health.
- La marche de la variole, soit discrète, soit confluente, peut être divisée en cinq périodas assez distinctes, que Von désigne sou s les noms d'incubation, d'invasion, d'éruption, de suppuration et de dessiccation. Cette division, fondée sur les symptômes les plus saillans que la variole offre pendant sa durée, bien qu'elle soit arbitraire, nous paraît bonne à suivre, parce qu'elle facilite au moins l'étude de la maladie. La période d'incubation comprend l'intervalle de temps qui s'écoule depuis l'infection jusqu'à l'invasion ; sa durée est de six à vingt jours. On ne peut la reconnaître à aucun signe visible, car la personne continue en apparence à jouir d'une bonne santé.
