twentieth; sweated all over; apyrexia; dejections bilious; aversion to
food; comatose。 On the twenty…fourth; had a relapse。 On the
thirty…fourth; apyrexia; bowels not confined; and he again recovered
his heat。 Fortieth; apyrexia; bowels confined for no long time;
aversion to food; had again slight symptoms of fever; and throughout
in an irregular form; apyrexia at times; and at others not; for if the

time of the relapse he was delirious; passed thick urine at that time;
but troubled; and of bad characters; bowels at first confined; and
again loose; slight fevers of a continual type; discharges copious and
thin。 On the hundred and twentieth day he died。 In this patient the
bowels were constantly from the first either loose; with bilious;
liquid; and copious dejections; or constipated with hot and undigested
faeces; the urine throughout bad; for the most part coma; or
insomnolency with pain; continued aversion to food。 Ardent fever。

produced by the fever; the phrenitis; and affection of the
hypochondrium caused death on the hundred and twentieth day。

right hip…joint for a considerable time; fevers afterwards supervened;
urine watery。 On the fortieth; complaints about the hip…joint
better; continued coughs; with copious; watery sputa; bowels
constipated; aversion to food; urine the same; fever not leaving her
entirely; but having paroxysms in an irregular form; sometimes

utter aversion to food; the jaw became relaxed; alvine discharges
small; and bilious; fever more acute; affected with rigors; on the
