tho’ the Symptoms were tolerable, and at the fame time 
Hopes of Recovery : Yet like Lightning they fhot up- 
wards from the Breaft to the Face, all in Strokes of va- 
rious Colours, blue, green, brown, and yellow 3 firft co- 
vering the Face as high as the Nofe, and from thence 
fpreading farther to the Forehead. This fo disfigured 
the Patient, that he was frightful to look upon : His 
Eyes grew ftiff, his Tongue trembled, his Speech gra- 
dually ceafed, and inwardly there was great Anxiety and 
Confufion3 from all which the ftruggle betwixt Life 
and Death might well be obferved. 
I fhall now laft of all mention the Fire- Bladders , 
which I have only obferved in two Patients, and that 
in the beginning of the Contagion, both which reco- 
vered 3 and therefore l do not think them fo very dan- 
gerous, as Mr. Furman deferibes them to be, unlefs we 
miftake the Species and Property of them. To me they 
appeared as broad as a Shilling, cf an irregular Height 
and Figure, with a clear wrinkled Skin, as if fhriveled 
by Fire : They at laft emitted a fmall Moifture, and va- 
nifh’d in a few Days. I have obferved them only upon 
the Belly, Thighs, and Legs. They came forth with a 
fmall Cold and fucceeding Heat, and with Pains in the 
Head and Back, and Wearinefs. 
Thefe were the External Signs, as they appeared to us, 
and as far as I wa 9 capable of deferibing them. As for 
the Symptoms, feeing they appeared very various, tho’ 
th ^Exanthemata were one and the fame, it is impofiible to 
deferibe them fo nicely as might be wifhed 5 yet by rea- 
fonof the Prognofticks I have divided them into feve- 
rai Gaffes for my own Pra&ife, that I might judge the 
better of the Event. In the firft Clafs I placed all thofe 
that were in themfelves not dangerous : In the fecond 
thofe that were doubtfull, and had various Events, both 
good and bad : In the third, thofe that were wholly 
dangerous.
