Abstract
This essay explores how chronologically linked indices of health and illness, such as variation in body temperature, achieved clinical and scientific significance. It shows why time has been a potent concept through which key associations among the data of medicine are ordered and revealed, and it examines the graphical and case reporting methods of organizing evidence that made such associations possible.
