During the laft few weeks, troublefome 
affections of the head have been very fre-- 
quent. In fome initances, confiderable 
pain, particularly in the forehead, giddt-. 
ne(s, flight coma, or tranfient, phrenitis, 
feemed to conftjtute the primary and idio- 
pathic difeafe, whilft, in other inftances, 
they have been fymptomatic. Fevers have 
been attended with a moré than ufual de- 
termination to the head, ‘and, in fome 
cats, after the remiffion of other fymp- 
toms, thefe affections of the head have 
continued. They have alfo been the at- 
tendants of fome chronic difeafes. Rheu- 
matifm has, in fome inftances, been ac- 
companied with pains in the head, and 
tranfient giddinefs, frequently returning. 
In dyfpeptic and hypochondriacal patients, 
thefe iymptoms have been more frequent 
than ufnal, and have produced in the mind 
of the patient, an apprehenfion of a more 
ferious attack, of the paralytic or ape- 
plectic kind. Thefe fymptoms have been 
relieved by very different treatment. In 
fome caies, either fpontaneous vomiting,

or the emptying of the ftomach by a 
gentle emetic, has produced relief, and 
where the ftomach has thus appeared to 
be primarily affected, a fhightly, bitter in- 
fufion, accompanied with the occafionalk 
ufe of gentle euoprotics, has removed-the 
complaint. In cther inftances, where the 
appearance of the countenance and the 
fenfations of the patient indicated fome 
plenitude in the veffels of the head, the 
application of leeches to the temples and 
of blifters behind the ears, followed by 
the ufe of cathartic remedies, appeared to 
be the moft fuccefsful treatment. 
Different {pecies of eruption of the fkin 
have lately prevailed, particularly amongtt 
children. ‘They have, in tome inftances, 
afflumed the appearance of that which is 
attendant upon the meafles. In fome pa-~ 
tients, the eyes were affected with flight 
inflammation, in others, fome difficulty — 
of breathing, with a quicknefs of the 
pulfe, and in others, a very troublefome 
itching attending the eruption. In a few 
inftances, puftules were formed, and in 
one inftance, fmall veficles appeared. 
Thefe fymptoms, when accompanied with 
heat and quicknels of pulfe, were moft 
ealily removed by gentle purging and the 
ufe of antimonials, in {mall dofes: but 
where the difeafe appeared to be merely 
cutaneous, {mall doles of calomel, with a. 
lotion of kali fulphuratum, and now and 
then a gentle cathartic, proved fufficient 
for the removal of fymptoms.

In Fune, 1798. 
GREAT BRITAIN. 
HE official journals, fince our laft, 
have been replete with the moft me- 
lancholy details. The nature of thefe 
events continue to be the more enveloped 
in darknefs on account of the ufual chan- 
nels of parliamentary intelligence, upon 
this fubje&t, being cut off. Under the 
head of Ireland, however, we have fe- 
jected, from the official reports, a brict 
account of the feveral engagements be- 
tween the king’s troops and the people. 
The parliamentary proceedings, fince 
the publication of our laft number, have 
been principally confined to the complet- 
ing of the feveral bills before the two 
houfes. Mr. Pirt, on the 25thof May, 
ob{erved to the commons, that on the 
Wednefday following, he intended to 
bring forward a motion for the augmen- 
tation of the number of feamen; to {e- 
cond this purpofe, he immediately moved 
for leave to bring ina bill to fulpend two 
aéts of parliament which granted pro- 
teCtion to perfons of various clafles, The 
neceflity of the meafure was obvious, and 
to carry it into immediate effect; he 
withed the bill to go through all its Rages 
that day, and to be jent to the lords in 
the evening. 
Mr. Trerney faid, he had not. heard 
any thing offered by the Chancellor of the 
Exchequer, to juftify fo precipitate a 
meafure. Mr.Prrr replied, that any gen- 
tleman who was hoftile to a meafure ne- 
ceflary to defeat the objest of France, 
_poffeffed fentiments refpecting liberty, to- 
tally different from thofe which he would 
ever maintain. Mr. Tierney conceived 
this aflertion as a perfonal attack, and 
therefore intirely unparliamentary, and 
threw himfelf on the protection of the 
houfe; after having heard fuch a charge 
made againft him, as that he was defirous 
to impede the defence of the country. The 
Speaker faid, that if the language ufed
