nausea, insignificant sweats about the forehead and clavicles, but

no general perspiration; they had much delirious talking, fears,

despondency, great coldness of the extremities, in the feet, but

more especially in their hands: the paroxysms were on the even days;

and in most cases, on the fourth day, the most violent pains set in,

with sweats, generally coldish, and the extremities could not be

warmed, but were livid and rather cold, and they had then no thirst;

in them the urine was black, scanty, thin, and the bowels were

constipated; there was an hemorrhage from the nose in no case in which

these symptoms occurred, but merely a trifling epistaxis; and none

of them had a relapse, but they died on the sixth day with sweats.

In the phrenitic cases, all the symptoms which have been described did

not occur, but in them the disease mostly came to a crisis on the

eleventh day, and in some on the twentieth. In those cases in which

the phrenitis did not begin immediately, but about the third or fourth

day, the disease was moderate at the commencement, but assumed a

violent character about the seventh day. There was a great number of

diseases, and of those affected, they who died were principally

infants, young persons, adults having smooth bodies, white skins,

straight and black hair, dark eyes, those living recklessly and

luxuriously; persons with shrill, or rough voices, who stammered and

were passionate, and women more especially died from this form. In

this constitution, four symptoms in particular proved salutary; either

a hemorrhage from the nose, or a copious discharge by the bladder of

urine, having an abundant and proper sediment, or a bilious disorder

of the bowels at the proper time, or an attack of dysentery. And in

many cases it happened, that the crisis did not take place by any

one of the symptoms which have been mentioned, but the patient

passed through most of them, and appeared to be in an uncomfortable

way, and yet all who were attacked with these symptoms recovered.

All the symptoms which I have described occurred also to women and

girls; and whoever of them had any of these symptoms in a favorable
