The cafe of ulcerated fore throat was 
attended with a weak and quick pulfe, 
great languor and debility, and large 
ulcerations on the tonfiis, fucceeded by 
thick, white floughs. As foon as thefe 
were removed, the ulcers prefently healed 
by a free ufe of the bark. 
The fmall-pox and meafles have pre- 
vailed more during this fpring, than has 
been known for many years paft. They 
have been diffufed in the courfe of lait 
month, through all the villages adjacent 
to the metropolis. I cannot here pais 
over a ftriking inftance oi the bad effects 
arifing from partial inoculation. A child 
was inoculated in April, whofe parents 
kept a fhop ina court, confifting of about 
twenty houfes. As the inhabitants re- 
paired every day for neceffary articles to 
the fource of infe€tion, the confequence 
was, that fixteen of them were aite¢éted 
with the {mall-pox in the natural way, 
within a fortnight after the child’s reco- 
very ; and four of them died of the difeafe. 
The hooping cough was unufually vio- 
lent and obftinate. One infant died of 
it, before the febrile fiage had in. any 
degree abated.

In perfons, whofe lungs did not feem 
to be ulcerated, but who had for a long 
time been affected with cough, and diffi- 
culty of breathing, thofe complaints were 
much aggravated by the irregular ftate of 
the weather ;’ and terminated, in eight 
cafes, by a {pitting of blood. 
The cafes of rheumatifm, of diarrhza, 
and other diforders of the bowels, like- 
wife originated, in general, from long ex- 
pefure to a cold and humid atmofphere. 
It feems not improper to notice one 
or two typographical miftakes in the ac- 
count of difeafes for the preceding month. 
In page 238, 2d col. line 38, ‘* fourth 
day” is put inftead of ‘‘ fourteenth day.” 
In the lift of periodical difeafes, ** Ado- 
lefcentium” is put down for ‘* Heética 
adolefcentium ; a diforder, very frequent 
in young perfons, during the period of 
their growth, after the age of puberty. 
It is charaéterifed by heétical paroxy{ms 
ccecuring every day, pain in the limbs, 
painfu! fwellings of the joints, lofs of fleep 
and appetite, with great emaciation. If 
a cough does not fupervene, the patients 
recover in ten cr twelve weeks.

TCOCKS have experienced a confide- 
rable depreffion fince our laft, as we 
ventured lately to predict would be the 
cafe. India Steck, in particular, fell yef- 
terday nearly ten per cent: The Om-

and a half, has taillen within the fame 
time, from a premium of 2! per cent. to 
a difcount of 2$ per cent. The fearcity of 
Money is experienced daily more and 
more, and it is the probable opinion of 
many of the moft intelligent Steck-hold- 
ers, that a fill further declenfion in the 
price of Stccks is to be expeéted.
