at the nofe. He continues in that difmal condition for 
fome days, untill the venemous matter begins to be 
feparated in fome meafure from the blood, and dis- 
charge itfelf critically upon the furface by the cu- 
taneous eruptions of buboes, carbuncles, blains, pe- 
techial fpots, and fome fmall veficles or blifters : but 
all thefe fymptoms are not to be looked for in 
the fame perfon. When the cutaneous eruptions 
appear and grow fenfibly, the patient finds himfelf 
better, and fomewhat relieved from the great op- 
prefiion he laboured under before. Some perfons in 
the above date have a very violent fever, fometimes

Captain Hill’s men mentioned before; and the young 
fellow, who died of the plague laft year, which he had 
in our palace ; for I no fooner found, that he had a 
fever, and was at the fame time fo very ftupid and 
fenfelefs, but I concluded he had the plague, tho’ 
it was ffrenuoufly maintained by the fervants, that he 
had not been out of the kitchen for a month ; but, 
upon flridt examination, it was found, that he had 
many plaguy fymptoms, as buboes, carbuncles, &c. 
upon his body, and that he had been in an infe&ed 
houfe near the palace, about 1 2 days before ; where- 
in no doubt he received the infection. Such as are 
furious and delirious, feldom live fo long, as they who 
are fleepy and ftupid ; but if they live long enough 
to have the cutaneous eruptions pufh plentifully, and 
their phrenzy begins to abate afterwards, they may 
recover more probably than fuch as are fleepy and 
have a moderate fever ; tho’ I have known fome of 
them likewife die ; asDelaria, the French druggerman,
