 and attended with the peculiar itching which always 

 exists in this disease. The complete peeling off of 

 the epidermis shows the true cause of the disease. 

 In a few cases, an itch-eruption of this kind proved 

 contagious, and communicated itself to other per- 

 sons in the family. 



A similar course of treatment was pursued, if 

 some other anti-psoric had to be resorted to, accord-

 fevers is proved by the fact, that no relapses ever took 

 place, or that no secondary diseases were ever developed. 



If these sequelae were the consequences of an 

 abuse of Cinchona, and this China-cachexia was the 

 source of subsequent paroxysms of fever, I have, 

 even in such cases, when nothing else would help, 

 seen Apis cure both the fever and the China-
