Part 12
And many other forms of fevers were then epidemic, of tertian,
of quartan, of nocturnal,
1 of continual, of chronic, of erratic, of fevers attended with nausea, and of irregular fevers. All these were attended with much disorder, for the bowels in most cases were disordered, accompanied with rigors, sweats not of a critical character, and with the state of the urine as described. In most instances the disease
was protracted, for neither did the deposits which took place prove
critical as in other cases; for in all complaints and in all cases
there was difficulty of crisis, want of crisis, and protraction of
the disease, but most especially in these. A few had the crisis about
the eightieth day, but in most instances it (the disease?) left them
irregularly. A few of them died of dropsy without being confined to
bed. And in many other diseases people were troubled with swelling,
but more especially in phthisical cases.
