eat, with a pulse mounting- from 50 to 62. The doses of 
acetanilid were now given every six hours, until Saturday at 
9 A.M., at which hour he received his last dose, when his 
temperature was 102^° At 7 P.M. of that day it had risen to 
104°, but never passed this mark, afterwards gradually 
descending until on Tuesday it had become normal. At the 
time of greatest depression in the fever, under the use of the 
drug, when it had dropped from 106J- 0 to 103-p in a few 
hours, the pulse was remarkably full, steady and strong, more 
nearly approaching the normal pulse in feel and rhythm than 1 
had ever seen it after the same number of days of extreme 
pyrexia. At this point I had a fellow practitioner give me 
his opinion of the pulse, and he unqualifiedly pronounced 
judgment in about the same terms as I have expressed it. 
Below will be found a careful table of the functions through¬ 
out the attack, or until convalescence was well under way:
