The object of this wo7^k is to show that the class of cases included under 

 the title, and which have hitha'to been invariably fatal, may, hy 

 a judicious use of the cold bath and ivithout venesection, be brotfght 

 to a favourable termination. Minute details are given of the 

 successful treatment by this 77iethod of two patients by the author, 

 followed by a Comjnentary on the cases, in zvhich the mer'its of the 

 mode of treatment are discussed and compared zvith those of methods 

 followed by other eminent practitioners. Appended are tables of the 

 observations made on the temperature during the treatment; a table 

 showing the effect of the immersion of the patients in the baths em- 

 ployed, in order to exhibit the rate at which the temperature was 

 lowered in each case; a table of the chief details of twenty-two 

 cases of this class recently published, and which are referred to in 

 various parts of the Co^nmentary, Two Charts are also int^^oduced, 

 giving a connected view of the pj'ogress of the two successful cases, 

 and a series of sphygmographic ti'acings of the pulses of the two 



patients, 

 every one.
