.HDMoRRHAGIc MALARIAL FEvER."

'sHGMoRRHAGIC MALARIAL FEVER.
In the New Orleans Journal of Medicine for
October. 1869, in an exhaustive article by
DR.. J. c. FACET, which in the opinion OF
some of our city physicians, so fully des-
cribes the prevailing disease, that they are
forced to the conclusion, it is not yellow
fever DR.. FACET says:
"Ehus, these black vomits have never
been considered by me as signs of yellow
fever. l have looked upon them simply as
symptoms of malarial fevers of \ more or
less grave nature, and, consequently l have
met them by the administration OF sulphate
Of quinine."
In the practice of some of our city ply
sieians, the fever yields to this treatment.
