Favoras.e symproms.—The pulse becoming soft, and approac hit 
_ its natural ‘state: the tongue losing its furred appearance; thin 
_ abating, the skin covered with a gentle and equable moistu re, and feel- 
ing soft to the touch ; the secretory organs performing their several 
ions, and the urine depositing flaky crystals of a dirty red color 
coming turbid on being allowed to stand. 
—_-Mepicau Treatment.—In fever, all bodily motion should be avoid- 
___ ed, especially that which calls any of the muscular powers into motion; 
__-¥ery frequently merely getting into bed, and keeping perfectly quiet, 
oth in body and mind, will prevent a severe fever ; the patient ought 
therefore, to be confined to bed, and lay in the easiest posture. Eme-_ 
tics and purgatives, and the subsequent use of fever powders, Sc. a8 
_ Fecommended in inflammatory fevers, are equally applicable in con- 
_ tinued fevers; and if properly administered in the commeticement, 
ually break up the fever entirely. The treatment, in short, will 
arly the same as in the inflammatory at the commencement; 
the fever should not end here, the utmost caution must be ob- 
an the use of those means which have a manifest tendeney 
to reduce the tone of the System, so that sufficient strength maybe 
left to combat the succeeding stage, which is invariab] y one of great 
debility, and in which the treatment will be that proper for typhus 
_ or putrid fever. ;
