which prevail at Mays- Lick ', in Kentucky. 87 



6. The tongue, in almost every case, was covered 

 with numerous small papilla;, which were more ob- 

 vious to the sight than touch. They occurred whether 

 the tongue were dry or moist, blackish or whitish. 

 They also occurred in every case of indisposition 

 which I witnessed that autumn, from whatever cause. 



7. Either during the formation, progress, decline, or 

 convalescence of this fever, a diarrhoea uniformly oc- 

 curred. 



8. Pains in the extremities were very common. They 

 were sometimes periodical. They generally occurred 

 towards the decline of the fever, and, in almost every 

 case, indicated a favourable termination. They disco^ 

 vered that the sensibility of the system was not exhaust- 

 ed. In a case that terminated fatally, no pain attended 

 through the whole course of the fever, neither could any 

 be excited by blisters and sinapisms. When these 

 pains were violent, they were most effectually relieved 

 by blisters over the part affected, and by sweating. 



9. Boils and other abscesses were extremely com- 

 mon : they were favourable appearances. They gene- 

 rally occurred about the termination of the disease. 



10. When a free determination to the skin, either 

 spontaneously, or by the use of sudorific medicines, 

 took place, the disease generally terminated favourably. 



11.. In 'most cases, quotidian intermissions, orromis- 

 sions, were observable.
