obscure, even yet; even the "black vomit'
is not an absolute symptom. The fever is
divided into two stages; the first lasts from

the temperature very high; there is intense
headache, pain in the back, then come
chills, perhaps, though not necessarily. The
second stage then sets in, with acute
febrile excitement, intense continued pain
in the head and back, jaundice nausea.
Fatty degeneration of the heart caused by
the fever and aggravated by it's concomi-
tants, is said to be the actual cause of
death. The duration Of the sickness cannot
be defined. A great assistance in diagnosing
a supposed case is a knowledge of the pa
