a CONTINUAL remitting or intermitting fever, accompanied with a copi- 
‘ous evacuation of bile, either by vomit or ftool, is denominated Jikous. It generally 
makes i its appearance about the end of fummer, and ceafes towards the approach 
of winter, Ati is moft fatal i in warm countries, ef{pecially where the foil is marthy, 
and when great Tains are fucceeded by fultry heats. ‘Thofe who work without HUE 
and are expofed to the night air, are moft liable to this kind of fever. 
CURE, ---If there are fymptoms of inflammation, it will be neceffary to ‘bleed, 
and to. purthe patient upon. cool diluting. regimen, recommended in. the inf mma- 
‘tory fever. Saline draughts may likewife be frequently adminiftered, and. the. pa 
tient? s body kept open by clyfters or mild purgatives. But, if the fever fhould. remit 
or intermit, bleeding will feldom be neceffary. In this cafe a vomit may be. admini- 
ftered, and, if the body be bound, a gentle purge; after which the Peruvian. bark
