32 REMARKABLE EFFECTS OF SOL-LUNAR 



TABLE 11. 



Explains the Durations and Crises of Fevers. 



Fevers of all the different types that are produced 

 in the manner described in Table I. are limited to 

 forms of different durations, by the remarkable re- 

 mission which takes place in the power of sol-lunar 

 influence on the commencement of the neaps ; and 

 which brings them at these junctures to a termina- 

 tion, or crisis, whenever the state of the body is 

 sufficiently disposed to concur in that event. This 

 is illustrated by the variations produced in the dura- 

 tion of perfect types as exhibited in this table ; which 

 will also serve, without any other diagram, to give 

 an idea of the variations produced in a similar 

 manner in the durations of types that are imperfect. 



1st. Days are represented by the divisions of the 

 horizontal lines of this table. 



2r//y. The paroxysms of fevers are represented 

 by dots placed above and below these lines. 



3dly. Single dots above the lines represent single 

 paroxysms happening towards the middle part of 

 the day, and are pointed out by the letter d (for 

 diurnal) placed at their beginning on the left. 



4th ly. Single dots belozv the line represent single 

 paroxysms happening towards the middle part of 

 the night, and are pointed out by the letter ;z (for 

 nocturnal) placed at their beginning on the left. 



5thlif. Two dots in one division, one above the 

 line, the other below, denote a diurnal and noctur- 

 nal paroxysm on the same day. 



Gthly. The successions of dots on the dif- 

 ferent horizontal lines of the table, proceeding from 

 the be"innino^ of the line on the left to their ter- 

 mination on the right, represent the different suc- 

 cessions of paroxysms that occur in fevers of a 

 perfect type, (or what are commonly called con-
