In Case 1 the symptoms were most strongly marked. In Case 2 there was a doubt 
whether the symptoms were to be attributed to typhoid fever or to affection of the 
brain. The progress of the case and the examination showed the inflammation of 
the nervous tissues. Case 3 was more chronic, but with acute symptoms occasion- 
ally. Case 4 yielded to very active treatment.
