From an infpeétion of the above lift, 
it will appear that catarrhal and rheu- 
matic fevers have been the moft predo- 
minant among acute difeafes. fince the 
laft report. A cold, damp, and foggy at. 
mofphere has alfo contributed to render 
them more. fevere than ufual, and of 
longer duration. 
One cafe of peripneumony, which had 
been neglected at its commencement, tér- 
minated in fuppuration, and proved fatal 
at the end of the third week. 
The two cafes of hzmoptoe alfo ter- 
minated fatally ; feveral pints of blood, 
in a pure and fluid flate, being on a fud- 
den difcharged from the lungs, in confe- 
quence of the rupture of fome contide- 
rable veffels. 
In the cafes of otalgia, after violent 
fever, delirium, and moft excruciating 
pain, fuppuration took place; the pus 
being diicharged from the external mea- - 
tus auditorius, and a thick, offenfive mat- 
ter from the internal ear into the fauces, 
and noftrils.
