fmall oppfeffion of the breaft, with fpitting of blood f 
in others a fwell’d belly, which was flow in every 
evacuation, efpecially that of urine. Afterwards 
there often appeared the miliary eruption : fome had 
a fmall flux, and blood was perceived in the flools. 
In a word, one might remark all the fymptoms 
which we had in 1749, 50, and 51. 
A great number were aifed:ed with a dejedion of 
fpirits, and were fliruck with a fort of terror, as made 
them tsemble at the found of a common voice. 
Thefe difeafes ran through a courfe of thirty or

patient either to death on the twenty- fifth, or to 
recovery about the thirtieth or fortieth day. 
Some patients, who were attacked with more vio-
