Holly and Tlicine. 9 
thirty-six boluses of sulphate of quinine without success, for a quo- 
tidian intermittent fever. I saw her in 1827, and two doses, of 
two gros each, of this powder perfectly cured her. 
Case X. M. B. was attacked with a double tertian intermittent 
in February 1829; and, after a delay of eight days, in order to re- 
move a rheumatic affection, and to be more certain of my diagnosis, 
I ordered two doses of the watery extract of the leaves of the 
holly, each containing one gros, which effected a perfect cure. 
Case XI. L. J. Moreau, aged nineteen, living in Paris, of a 
lymphatic temperament, had a paroxysm of intermittent fever the 
24th August, 1829, which lasted twenty hours; also on the 26th, 
28th, 31st August, and 2d September; from which time it became 
a perfect tertian. I ordered him, on the 16th September, two gros 
of the leaves in decoction, to be taken two hours before the parox- 
ysm. This caused three evacuations from the bowels, and the pa- 
roxysm only continued six hours. The fever returned on the 18th; 
and on the 20th he repeated the same dose, which caused four mo- 
tions, and the paroxysm continued six hours, but did not return, 
and he has since enjoyed the most perfect health. 
Case XII. 1 was consulted, the 4th December last, by Madame 
Voix de Provis, who was affected with a quotidian intermittent for 
six months. One dose of two gros of the powder, given in wine, 
effectually removed the fever. 
Here terminate the records of those cases which I have 
myself observed: to the distinguished physicians whose’ 
names are mentioned I am indebted for the following, which 
complete this monograph. 
[The author next proceeds to give the details of sixty-five 
cases of intermittent fever, the greater number of which 
(forty-three cases) he has collected from the Cliniques of M. 
ConsTanTIN, naval surgeon at Rochefort, and from that of 
M. Macenopir, at the Hétel Dieu at Paris. The other cases 
were communicated to him by M. Louis, M. Perronaux, 
M. Lerrepour, &c. 
From this very voluminous record the translator has ex- 
tracted the most important features, and reduced them to a 
tabular form, in which the type of fever, the person by whom 
treated, the medicines administered, and the results, are in- 
troduced. ]
