MONTHLY MEDICAL REPORT. 



THE excessive dampness of the atmosphere that prevailed during the early part of the 

 period comprised in the present Report, together with the sharp frosts that have taken 

 place more recently, have combined to spread through the metropolis an unusual number 

 of those slighter febrile affections, popularly denominated colds. They have appeared un- 

 der the several shapes of catarrh, bronchitis, hoarseness, flying pains of the limbs, lum- 

 bago, and swellings of the submaxillary glands . Nor have the several kinds of disease 

 attributable to the same source been wanting. Cynanche tonsillaris, pleurisy, peripneu- 

 mony, and acute rheumatism have been, and still continue, very general ; but, as far as 

 the Reporter's observation extends, they have not proved particularly severe in those whose 

 previous health was good. A few days have usually sufficed, in such habits, for the per- 

 fect restoration of health. The approach of winter, however, has had far different results 

 in a different class of persons ; in those, to wit, who had been occasionally suffering, 

 during the summer months, from cough and spitting in those far advanced in life and, 

 generally, in all whose state of bodily health had been, through any cause, previously 

 enfeebled ; the raw cold and fog of the last month have tried the constitutions of such 

 persons most severely. Many have already sunk under their baneful influence. Some are 

 now lingering, with scarce a prospect of amendment ; while to others the best-directed 

 exertions of art can scarcely hold out any other hope than than that of the temporary alle- 

 viation of pain. The comparative superiority of a cold and frosty air over that of a moist 

 one, in promoting the health and vigour of the human frame, has been strongly exemplified 

 in the course of the last month. Many individuals, oppressed in their breathing, and so 

 feeble, during the damp days that prevailed in the first fortnight of November, as 

 scarcely to be able to leave their rooms, have, since the setting-in of the frost, recovered 

 their voice, and improved in strength and hope. 



Typhus fever has considerably diminished. The cases of this complaint that now occur 

 are not only fewer in number, but milder in kind. The Reporter, indeed, has met with 

 a considerable number of cases, within the last six weeks, of a disorder which the old author
