... wrist, is a fair index of the condition of the body. In taking the pulse-beat, do so with the fingers, and not with the thumb, as the beating of the artery in the thumb may confuse. Pulse rate is modified with age, rest, exercise, position, excitements, and elevation. High elevation produces a more rapid pulse.

An increase not accounted for by one of the above reasons usually means fever, a rise of 6 beats in pulse usually being equivalent ...
