ION that this must be the prevailing theory OF the
day, or how IL 1t that physicians treat Towers
throughout with Calomc and lew other depc-

lever and chill rise and continue together; or if
there be no chill at all. Sometimes fever of this
character continues "a or 4S hours without inter-
mission, and sometimes il occurs ony every third
day. Nine tcnths fthc fevcrs of this state. and
most other states of this union, partake more or
less OF this character; and in all their various an
