from issues, setons, and ulcerated legs : but not, gene- 

 rally, to an alarming degree. They are easily subdued, 

 and are seldom fatal. I have never, in any instance, 

 seen a hasmorrhage from the pores or surface of tlie 

 body. 



On their first attack, our fevers are evidently inflamma- 

 tory, and a determination is generally discovered to 

 some vital part. When congestion appears, or deter- 

 mination to the head, a delirium is the consequence. 

 This symptom, however, with the others, generally goes 

 off soon after using evacuations. 



In some cases, the head is periodically affected. To 

 persons thus diseased, after depletion, I have given large 

 doses of the bark and opium, which, with blisters, will 

 generally effect a cure. 



The pulse is full and strong. In the first stage, it 

 does not often exceed 120 strokes in a minute, and is 

 frequently found beating from 95 to 115. I have met 

 with some cases, in which the pulse was much slower, 

 proceeding from an approximation to indirect debility. 



1 have met with the intermittent pulse ; with a soft 



slow pulse : this happens where the brain appears to be 

 most affected. But, in all these preternatural states of 

 the pulse, venesection will abate its frequency in the one 

 case, and increase the number of pulsations in the other.
