Of fever with an Inflammation of the bowels
which terminated i'll modification. When l
came to his aid on the 25th Dec 1905, he had
hccup, black vomiting, cold sweats and deli,iun,
all at intervals He was taking deeoaion of
Bark, CamomiIe flowers and black Snake root
freely and Camphor at intervals tried other
things, but it was too late As to the case Of
Mr. Clifton Garland it was the opthalmic S, ate
Of fever, and durable as such. AS 10 one eve only
beng affected it does not charge the fever (which
l examined In the pleurite state of fever, it is
still equally durable by the lancet, and suitable re
NEEDLES, whether both sides are panied or Motive
always find only one side affected with pain & in
Hammation--it is the same in the state Of fever
with tooth ache, affecting only one side of the Jaw
though durable By general remedies without INV
local or topical applications On more enlarp.
ed scale this doctrine is illustrated in the case Of
1hLiy at Mr. William Robertson's, Warren-It
was by pressure side only that matter was
eieaed by the mouth had we trusted to opening
ard letting out matter between the ribs il would
have only aggravated the complaint. This was
fair, open state Of fever, and as i'm every case
Of fever the weakest part must admit grez er
proportion Of il. or must be more sensibly affect
ed so in this case the lungs being The weakest,
admit cd the giea'er proportion the matter could
not have been formed without previous inham-

quantities Of Mercury as raised fever from

Of course, removed he frat fever he gums be

the determination from within outwaids, and
from the lungs to the gums, which is safe prae-

cure. Mr.. Robertson afterwards gave some
vegetable substance Of a heating nature : which
