REPORT OF DISEASES, 
Under the Care of the late Senior Physician of the Finsbury 
Dispensary, from the 
20th of August to the 20th of September, 1810. 
; : — a 
HE disease denominated. choleya, 
has been observed by physicians to, 
mark the decline of the hot season as. 
faithfully as the appearance of the swal- 
low announces the spring. It has not. 
as yet prevailed to any very great extent; . 
nor, in the few cases-which have come 
within the Reporter’s observation, has it 
exhibited any unusual degree of virulence 
er malignity. The medical treatment of’ 
it is sufficiently simple; but when neglect- 
ed or mismanaged, this disorder is re- 
markably rapid in hastening towards a 
fatal termination. The patient not-un- 
‘frequently dies within twenty-four hours. 
from its first attack. 
Diseases of the hepatic system, are by 
no means confined to any particular sea- 
son of the year; throughout every section 
of it, although more properly belonging 
to warmer climates, they form a large 
proportion in the mass-even of. English 
maladies. It were to be wished that the 
commencement of disease in an organ 
so important as the liver, should an- 
nounce itself by some obtrusive charac- 
ter.. But this essential viscus bas often 
been found after death to haye been in- 
durated without any maiked indication 
of disease during the life of the subject, 
but dyspepsia or simple indigestion. 
Fortunately, hqwever,,. in. the: greater 
number of cases, less equivocal’ signs. of 
“this disorder shew: themselves before it

On a close interrogation of invalids with | 
disorganized livers, we shall often find < 
that they can recollect the exact time 
since which, and not before, they always 
found themselves on the right side on 
awnkening, It is probable, that inward 
sensations during ‘sleep, unconsciously 
incline the patient to take this position. 
We should, however, be aware that an 
equal ease in lying on either side is no- 
demonstration of the liver being in a 
sound condition. A sallowness of skin, 
and particularly a hight yellow colour of 
the forehead, may often be interpreted 
as: notices of hepatic disorganization: so 
inay likewise’ a paim under the right 
shoulder blade ; and what is particularly 
worthy of nétice, an habitual morning 
cough, followed by the ejection of a little 
froth from the mouth. The liver may 
occasionally be felt hard or enlarged, 
but there is no one, it is to be hoped, 
who would defer his apprehensions un- 
til they are forced upon him by-this
