XV. Account of a singular Convulsive Affection, vohich 

 prevails in the State of Tenessee, and in other parts 

 of the United- States. Communicated to the Editor 

 by Felix Robertson, M. D., of Nashville, in 

 Tenessee. 



Sir, ,: ci.. 



BELIEVING that the gentlemen (Mr. Mac- 

 lin and Mr. Wilkinson) to whose politeness and at- 

 tention I am indebted for the account of the rise and 

 progress of the Epidemic Chorea, will have no ob- 

 jection to the publication of it, I send the paper, 

 with permission, if you deem it worthy of the place, 

 to insert it in one of the numbers of your Journal. 

 For several reasons, I have been much more concise 

 in my Inaugural Dissertation, on this subject, than 

 I could have wished ; and I doubt not that those who 

 have never seen the disease, may desire to be fur- 

 nished with a more minute account of it, than that 

 which I have given. I am, &:c. 



Felix Robertson. 

 To Dr. Barton.
