IX. Facts and Speculations relative to the Diseases that 

 are common to the Human Kind, and other Families of 

 Animals. By the Editor. 



PROFESSOR BLUMENBACH, in his learn- 

 ed work, De Generis Humani Varietate Nativa, has 

 given place to a section, or article, entitled " Morbi 

 maxime memorabiles homini proprii." The professor 

 thinks it highly probable, that there are some diseases 

 wholly peculiar to the human kind; and these he has 

 distributed under the following five general heads, viz. : 



I. Febres Exanthematicae, 



II. Haemorrhagiae, 



III. Nervorum Affectiones, 



IV. Cachexiae, 



V. Morbi Locales. 



I shall make a few remarks on some of the principal 

 diseases under each of these heads, or classes. 



I. Eruptive Fevers.
