It will appear from the annexed Jift, 
that the fever, which has long formed a 
large proportion in former lifts, continues 
to prevail, and that the number of pa- 
tients under its influence is ftill large.— 
This difeafe has propagated itfelf toa con- 
fiderable extent, particularly amongft the 
lower orders of fociety ; fo that there is 
hardly a family that has been vitited 
by it, in which almoft every member of it 
has not been more or lefs affected. To- 
gether with the other fymptoms of this dif= 
eafe, which have been frequently recited, 
foe affections of the throat have of lates 
in feveral inftances, been experienced. In 
thefe cafes, tvere has been a flight inflam- 
mation of the mucous membrane of the 
fauces,. and fome enlargement of the ton- 
fils, occaf oning a degree of pain and dif- . 
ficulty in deglutition. Thefe fymptoms 
have, however, foon yielded to the inha- 
ling of the lean of warm water; or fre- 
quently fipping fome tepid emollient li- 
quor, or the ufe of moderately aftringent 
gargles. 
Similar affections of the throat, but ina 
higher degree,have, in fome inftances, con- 
ftituted the primary difeafe. The patient 
has firft complained of ftiffnefs and iulnefs 
about the throat, the tonfils, and the whole 
of the internal fauces have been much in- 
flamed, and the degree of fever, indicated 
by the fulnefsand frequency of the pulfe and 
the heat of the fkin, has been confiderable. 
, Theufe of aperient medicines, keeping up 
a determination to the fkin by antimonials, 
and the ufe.of emollient gargles have ge- 
nerally been attended with fuccefs, and in 
a few days the difeafe has been removed. 
NEW PATENTS LATELY ENROLLED. — 
se ee 
"MR. WHITBY, and others, for ad MILL to 
grind BARK for the USE of TANNERS. 
HIS mil] confifts of a number of cut- 
JL ters fixed upon arbors or axles, which 
cut the bark to pieces; after which the 
- bark falls through an eye, and paffes be- 
tween two large caft-iron plates, with 
rooves or furrows, cut either hollow or 
The under plate is made 
to move round, which is found to facili. 
tate the entrance of the bark into the eye 
more than if the upper piate moved. 
The upper plate may, however, be made 
to move round, if the fituaticn in which 
the mill flands requires it; and, in this 
cafe, the grooves or furrows are reverfed. 
A perpendicular fhaft refts upon brafs, 
fixed upon the bridge-treé,~which, by 
means of two fcrews, is raifed or deprefi- 
edto griud the bark finer or coarfer as may 
be withed. Mage ‘3 : 
Thefe two caft-iron plates (for which 
the patent is particularly granted, and 
which appear to conftitute the chief inven-_ / 
tion in this mill,) are fet in motion by 
common mil! machinery, fuch as ufed in 
horfe, water, wind, or fteam mills. :
