CASE III. The daughter of Euryanax, a maid, was taken ill of

fever. She was free of thirst throughout, but had no relish for

food. Alvine discharges small, urine thin, scanty, not well colored.

In the beginning of the fever, had a pain about the nates. On the

sixth day, was free of fever, did not sweat, had a crisis; the

complaint about the nates came to a small suppuration, and burst at

the crisis. After the crisis, on the seventh day, had a rigor,

became slightly heated, sweated. On the eighth day after the rigor,

had an inconsiderable rigor; the extremities cold ever after. About

the tenth day, after a sweat which came on, she became delirious,

and again immediately afterwards was collected; these symptoms were

said to have been brought on by eating grapes. After an intermission

of the twelfth day, she again talked much incoherently; her bowels

disordered with bilious, scanty, unmixed, thin, acrid discharges;

she required to get frequently up. She died on the seventh day after

the return of the delirium. At the commencement of the disease she had

pain in the throat, and it red throughout, uvula retracted, defluxions

abundant, thin, acrid; coughed, but had no concocted sputa; during the

whole time loathed all kinds of food, nor had the least desire of

anything; had no thirst, nor drank anything worth mentioning; was

silent, and never spoke a word; despondency; had no hopes of

herself. She had a congenital tendency to phthisis.

afterwards became heated. On the third day, a rigor, acute fever; a

reddish and hard swelling on both sides of the neck and chest,

extremities cold and livid; and livid; respiration elevated; the drink

returned by the nose; she could not swallow; alvine and urinary
