STAGES
I'm the first stage the peculiar odor Of
yellow fever is found about the second
| day. and the eyes and capillary circula-
| ton are contested. All Of these are inten-
sifed In the third stage.
II believe that where a continued fever
OF three davs duration. completely re-
uniting about the third day. is associated
with black vomit and albumen In the
urine. and iaundiced appearance about
tho mucous membrane of the eye and
slight iaundiced appearance about the sur
face OF the body. associated with pains IN
the head and back. and other portions OF
the body. and more or less gastric irri-
liability. II matters not II this be an iso-
lated case or In the midst OF many,
would consider II yellow fever.
''The shades which separate the symp-
toms OF tho yellow and remittent types
Of fever are sometimes so slight that the
bilious remittent has frequently been con-
sidered and classified as true yellow fever,
but this apparent similarity vanishes on
close and continuous INSPECTION, for then
essential and distinctive marks are OBJ
served which STAMP each with individual
ifv.
The differences may thus be summa-
Hzed:
YELLOW FEVER.
First-Is essentially infectious and found
in cities.
Second-Chiefly vigorous and young con-
stitutions fall victims 10 1t. Colored pop
ulation less liable than white.
Third-Temperature in bad cases very
high.
Fourth-Usually attacks at night.
Fifth Severe nausea and vomiting
throughout. Epigastric tenderness early
and decided black vomit; headaches-oc-
cipital.
Sixth-Hemorrhage from gums and va
rlous parts OF body.
Seyenth-Tongue clean. or but slightly
coated; pulse variable. becoming slow in
last stages.
Eghtn-Bye highly injected and humid /;
expression often fierce or anxious.
Ninth-Pain in back, very severe; also
pain in calves and over eyes.
Tenth-Delirium rare; mind generally
clear and cheerful.
Eleyenth-Urine generally albuminous,
suppression common.
Twelfth Muscular prostration slight
conyalescence rapid. no sequence.
Thrteenth--Liver affected and slightly
enlarged.
Fourteenth-Spleen not affected.
Fnteenth-One attack affords an almost
certain immunity.
Sixteenth Mortality very high.
Seventeenth-Peculiar smell often per-
ceptible
Eighteenth-Never merges into intermit-
tent.
Observation-Disclosures show great con-
gestlon inflammation, liberation and soft
ening Of stomach; liver enlarged, fatty. yell
lowish in color its secretng cells filled
with oil globules heart often exhibits dis
Indignation Of tie muscular fibers.
BILIOUS REMITTENT.
First-ls not infectious and found usual
ly in the country
Second-All ages and constitutions la-
BILE, and the weakest more so. Colored
population liable
Third-Temperature not extraordinarily
high.
Fourth-IIsually attacks In daytime
Fifth--Nausea and vomiting moderate.
Epigastric tenderness slight, Headache

SXth-'No hemorrhagic tendency.
Seventh-Topgue heavily coated; pulse
varies little, remaining quick until conya-
lescence sets In.
Eighth-Eye and physiognomy not pecu-
liar.
Ninth-Pain slight or absent, headache
moderate.
Tenth-Delrium frequent; mind always
dull.
Observation-Disclosures urine rare; sup.
preston also rare.
Twelfth - Much muscular prostitution:
convalescence slow sequelae various and
tedious
Thrtcenth--Liver not affected.
Fourteenth-Spleen invariably affected.
Fifteenth-One attack seems rather to
predispose to others.
Slxteenth-Mortality slight.
Seventeenth-No peculiar smell Observed
Standardization merges into inter
mttent.
Observation-Disclosures show congestion
of stomach. but rarely inflammation liver

enlarged.
