All the inflammatory and hemorrhagic 
difeafes put down'ip the preceding hift,. 
were brought to a. favourable conclufion.. 
The cafes of pleurify, and indammation 
of the bowels, were fo violent as to re-=- 
quire repeated venefeétion, along with 
the ufe of blifters,.end:other remedies. 
infants have been, during the. prefent 
month, very generally affected with catar— 
rhal fever, a hard founding cough, great 
difficulty of breathing, and a watery dif- 
charge from the ncfe and eyes. The 
above fymptoms were relieved in a few 
days, by the application of leeches to the 
cheft, by blifters, and antimonials. 
The cold, wet, or damp weather, which 
fucceeded the hort froft, at the begin- 
ning of the month, feems to have given 
rife to many putrid fevers, and ulcerated 
fore-throats. Ehefe prove untoward and 
lingeying ;. though I have not, as yet, 
ract with any fatal cafe. A young lady, 
about 14 years of age, after having had, 
for fome days, flight fpecks of ulceration. 
in the throat, was feized-with all the 
fymptoms of a malignant fever: her 
tongue became dry-and brown ;.a black 
cruit covered the teeth.; her eyes. were. 
dull and glaffy ;. fhe wasalternately deli- 
rious and comatofe till the 12th day of 
the fever, when a rafh appeared,. very 
much refembling the fcarlatina, and was. 
diffufed over the whole body. It conti~ 
nued to the fourteenth day, and then. 
difappeared ; a compiete cris of the 
fever took place.at the fame time. - The 
fervant who attended was afieéted with a 
fimilar fever, three days after the young 
lady’s recovery, but has not had either 
the fore throat, or the eruption an, the 
fkin. 
The meafles are now more prevalent 
than the {mall pox, or fearlatina ;. and 
- have been diffufed to moft of the villages 
near London: many infants have died 
uf the cough. and heétic fever which 
fucceeds them. According to: the bills 
of mortality, not 200 perfons died of the 
fmall-pox im the month of November ; 
whereas the number of deaths in July 
and Auguft was 77a. &t is to be re- 
marked, that. the bills only record the 
death of one perfon by the fcarler-fever,. 
between the 8th and 29th of November, 
a period during which there occurred 
many fatal caies of that difeafe.
