fiding near the Magdalen Hofpital. A 
boy, 12 years of age, took the difeafe firft ; 
the reft were infected by him, all within 
a fortnight; but they began to ficken on 
different days. The father and mother 
efcaped the contagion; nor did it extend 
to any families in the neighbourhood. 
This difo:der was attended with confi- 
derable ulcerations in the tonfils, and 
deeper than is ufual. The eldeft daughter, 
22 years old, had nearly funk under a 
violent hemorrhagy from the nofe, which 
occurred twice, though fhe had the ca- 
tamenia at the fame time. One or two 
others were affected with diarrhea, bili- 
ous vomitings, head-ache, and flight deli- 
rium. ‘The fcarlet rafh extended over 
the whcle body. There was in all the 
patients, a quick, fmall, and irregular 
pulfe, with great languor, faintnefs, and 
depreffion. Thefe fymptoms fuddenly 
difappeared on the eighth or ninth day 
of the difeafe, and were not fucceeded, 
as frequently happens, by anafarcous 
{wellings of the lower extremities. 
The beft mode of pra€tice in the 
fcarlatina anginofa, is to adminifter gen- 
tle emetics repeatedly, during its firit 
ftage, according to the plan recommended 
by Dr. Withering, in a judicious treatife 
on this difeafe. 
The fynochus biliofa (Sauvage De 
Febribus) or Summer Fever, though a 
difeafe frequently occurting in the vi- 
cinity of London, has sot been accu- 
rately defcribed by our prattical writers ; 
who feem, im general, to have confounded 
it with the malignant, or putrid fever. 
Its fymptoms are, however, very dif- 
ferent; neither is it communicated by 
contagion. ‘This complaint begins with 
Public Funds. 
if June 
irregular fhiverinps, which dre aftér- 
wards fucceeded by ‘agreat dnd ‘conti- 
nued cheat of ‘the ‘fkin; Huthing of ‘tHe 
face ; frequent naufea, with a fenfation 
of violent heat tn'the ftomach‘and bow- 
els; a fente of ‘dppreffion in ‘the chef, 
with panting und inquietude; a white, 
parched tongue, and unquenchable thirft. 
The ‘pulfe is always very quick; and 
there is a violent throbbing -pain of the 
head, which prevents fleep, and often 
produces delirium. The temper of mind 
is much altered by ‘this dileafe : under its 
influence, patients who in health are of 
a meek, and ferene difpcfition, become 
fretful and turbulent ; and are moved to 
patfion on the flighteft occafions. 
The ftate of the bowels in this com- 
plaint Is very uncertain, but after a 
coftivenefs of feveral days’ duration, a 
diarrhea ufually takes place on a fudden, 
attended with pain, gripings, and bili- 
ous difcharyes. The urine ts alfo very 
variable in its appearances; being fome-. 
times clear, and of a high crange co- 
lour; fometimes greenith, and a little 
turbid, like punch: at other times, it 
is made white, and after ftanding fome 
hours, depofits a white, flaky fediment, 
The duration of this complaint is ufually 
about 20 days. In fome cafes, after the 
fecond weck, it begins to remit; and 
has an exacerbation or paroxy{m every 
day, which terminates by gentle fweat- 
mg. It is thus often protraéted to the 
36th, goth, or 42d day. The occational 
or exciting caules otf it generally are 
fatigue in hot weather, anxiety, watch- 
ing; or drinking cold water, after the 
body has been much heated by labour er 
travelling.
