The above lift contains a greater num- 
ber and variety of complaints than has 
appeared in any foregoing account. At 
the prefent period of the year, indeed, 
a feafon fo damp and unfavourable fel- 
dom occurs, there having been fcarcely 
ose day without rain for feveral weeks 
aft. Cafes cf the fummer-fever and 
cholera have been numerous and viclent, 
but inno inftance fatal, within my own 
Many children, between 
one and two years of age, and even in- 
fants at the breaft, were affected with 
the fummer-fever,-m the months of 
July and Auguft. The general fymp- 
toms of this fever are fiated in the 
Monthly Magazine for June, 1796. In- 
fants had a yellowifh brown fur on the 
tongue, an extremely quick pulfe, with 
flufhing of the cheeks, anda great heat 
of the fkin: they tcok little nourifh- 
ment ; and were, during the greateft part 
of the day, in a dozing, or comatoie 
fiate. In the fecond or third week, 
there appeared a remiffion of the febrile 
fymptoms for fome hours in the day; 
but this was conftantly fucceeded by an 
exacerbation towards evening, and a2 
confiderable degree of fever tarough the 
night. The whole duration of the com- 
plaint was feldom lefs than a month. 
The varicella, or chicken-pox, has 
been very prevalent during the fummer. 
The eruption was generally preceded by | 
aftrong fever; and, in three cafes, by a 
vivid univerfal rafh, fimilar tothat which 
often attends the eruption of the fmali- 
pox. The variety of this difeafe, term- 
ed here: the fwine-pox, 1s charaéterifed 
by ap eruption of veficles, having near-_ 
ly the fize of peas, and filed with a 
tranfparent lymph. In both {pecies, 
the periods and concomitant fymptoms 
are the fame: and both are produced by 
the fame contagion.
